This study employed a wet impregnation method to synthesize five types of Cu/HZSM-5 adsorbents with Si/Al ratios of 25, 50, 85, 200, and 300, used for the removal of HS in low-temperature, low-oxygen environments. The impact of different Si/Al ratios on the adsorption oxidative performance of Cu/HZSM-5-85 adsorbents was investigated. According to the performance test results, Cu/HZSM-5-85 exhibited the highest breakthrough capacity, reaching 231.75 mg HS/g. Cu/HZSM-5 sorbent maintains a strong ability to remove HS even under humid conditions and shows excellent water resistance. XRD, BET, and XPS results revealed that CuO is the primary active species, with Cu/HZSM-5-85 having the largest surface area and highest CuO content, providing more active sites for HS adsorption. H-TPR and O-TPD results confirmed that Cu/HZSM-5-85 sorbent exhibits outstanding redox properties and oxygen storage capacity, contributing to excellent oxygen transferability in the molecular sieve adsorption-oxidation process. With notable characteristics such as a large surface area, high desulfurization efficiency, and water resistance, Cu/HZSM-5-85 sorbents hold significant importance for industrial applications.

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau presents a unique challenge for infrastructure development due to its extreme geological and climatic conditions-high elevation, large diurnal temperature fluctuations, frequent freeze-thaw cycles, intense ultraviolet radiation, and seasonal precipitation. These factors greatly accelerate the weathering of rock materials, leading to aggregates with increased porosity, microcracking, and weakened mechanical properties. While the engineering implications of such degradation are evident, the underlying material science of weathered aggregates-particularly their microstructure-property relationships-remains insufficiently explored, necessitating further investigation to inform material selection and design.

This study addresses the low reactivity and poor toughness of diabase tailings (DT), a high-silica industrial byproduct, which restricts their large-scale application in geopolymer binders. To overcome these limitations, a dual-regulation strategy integrating stepwise low-temperature thermal activation (100, 200, and 300 °C) with standard curing (20 ± 2 °C, 95% RH) was developed. This approach aimed to enhance mineral dissolution kinetics and facilitate the formation of a dense, interconnected gel network.

Geopolymers are an environmentally sustainable class of low-calcium alkali-activated materials (AAMs), distinct from high-calcium C-A-S-H gel systems. Synthesized from aluminosilicate-rich precursors such as fly ash, metakaolin, slag, waste glass, and coal gasification fly ash (CGFA), geopolymers offer a significantly lower carbon footprint, valorize industrial by-products, and demonstrate superior durability in aggressive environments compared to Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC). Recent advances in thermodynamic modeling and phase chemistry, particularly in CaO-SiO-AlO systems, are improving precursor selection and mix design optimization, while Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and hybrid ML-thermodynamic approaches show promise for predictive performance assessment.

The application of EDTA exerted a governing effect on the synthesis of ZSM-5 zeolites. Analytical results revealed that EDTA presented as EDTA and EDTA in alkaline systems. Herein, EDTA served as the mineralized agent for dissolving amorphous gel into soluble Si-Al species, while EDTA acted as an electrostatic cross-linker, assembling with -butylamine and soluble Si-Al species into "Inorganic-Organic Hybrid Sphere.

ConspectusZeolites have been industrially applied in numerous chemical processes. Integrating metal species into zeolites to prepare metal-doping zeolites (Me-zeolites) is an efficient approach to modulating the redox/acid/base properties, porosity, and surface electronic state, strengthening the existing features and deriving extra functions. Direct hydrothermal synthesis of Me-zeolites is advantageous for integrating metal species throughout the whole zeolite matrix, enabling the metal species to have a versatile status and uniformly high dispersion.
