Article Abstract
Potassium ferrate (PF) pretreatment in anaerobic sludge and its potential influence mechanisms have received widely attention. This study investigated the coupling effect of PF loading on steel slag (SS) on excess sludge anaerobic fermentation. Results showed that SS loading increase the treatment performance of PF on short chain volatile fatty acids (SCFAs) production from anaerobic fermented sludge. It was showed that the modified PF loaded SS (MPF-SS) promoted the dissolution and release of organic substrates from intracellular to extracellular. Further exploration showed the promotion of PF and MPF-SS exposure to acid production microorganisms was much more than that to acid consumption microorganisms. MPF-SS addition can also effectively reinforce the carbohydrate transport, amino acid metabolism and the key enhanced genes associated with fatty acid biosynthesis pathways. This study fills the knowledge gap about modified PF on sludge treatment and also expands a new perspective for its application for sludge resource recovery.

Environmental risks from impacts of industrial solid wastes applied on agricultural land in China: a comprehensive overview.

With the rapid development of industrialization in China, more and more industrial solid wastes (ISWs) are generated in industrial production processes. Under the pressure for safe disposals or utilization of ISWs as resources, and the demand for soil pollution remediation in China, there have been attempts to incorporate ISWs into agricultural land as soil amendments, while the environmental impacts of ISWs applied on agricultural land have aroused great concerns. This paper presents a comprehensive overview regarding the environmental risks from impacts of 7 types of ISWs (including blast furnace slag, steel slag, magnesium slag, coal-fired flue gas desulfurization gypsum, phosphogypsum, calcium carbide slag, and ammonia-soda residue) applied on agricultural land.

A process route combining flotation for recovering easily floatable sulfide copper minerals and oxygen pressure acid leaching (OPAL) was employed to comprehensively recover valuable metals (Cu, Mo, Fe, ) from copper smelting slag with a high oxidation degree. The oxidative leaching process selectively dissolved and recovered Cu and Mo while transforming Fe into leach residue, rendering it suitable as a raw material for iron and steel smelting. Under optimal conditions, the leaching recoveries for Cu and Mo reached 96.

This paper presents the changes in microstructure and mechanical properties that occurred across the wall cross-section of a massive slag ladle casting due to service conditions. The slag ladle was made of low-carbon cast steel. Based on the test results, it was shown that the working environment influenced the macro-segregation of C and S on the cross-section of the wall and, consequently, had an effect on the changes in microstructure.

This study developed a full solid waste-based cementitious material (ISWs-CM) using steel slag (SS), ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS), phosphorus slag (PS), carbide slag (CS), and desulfurized gypsum (DG) to completely replace cement. A two-layer optimization strategy, combining three chemical moduli and simplex lattice experiments, was employed to determine the proportion and to investigate the impact of proportions on the uniaxial compressive strength of mortar. As an application case, the ISWs-CM with the optimal proportion was employed to stabilize aeolian sand, and its effectiveness as a cement substitute and the underlying mechanisms were investigated.

One of the major problems caused by the fast and unplanned growth of cities is the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect. This happens when urban areas, especially pavements, become much hotter than the surrounding countryside, mainly during summer. The heat builds up on surfaces like roads and sidewalks because they absorb and store heat from the sun.
