Article Abstract
Municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) fly ash (FA) is a hazardous waste produced during the incineration of municipal solid waste, posing a risk of heavy metal leaching and threatening the environment. Therefore, the harmless treatment of MSWI FA has become a crucial issue in environmental safety treatment. This study utilized blast furnace slag, FA, and MSWI FA to prepare composite alkali-activated cementitious materials for the solidification and stabilization of heavy metals in MSWI FA. The results showed that when the MSWI FA content was 30%, the water glass modulus was 1.0, the liquid-solid ratio was 0.32, the initial 24 h curing temperature was 45 °C, and the compressive strength of the solidified body reached 41.9 MPa, demonstrating excellent mechanical properties. Additionally, the leaching concentration and nonresidual state of heavy metals (Pb, Cd, and Cu) reduced significantly. Along with XRD, FTIR, and SEM-EDS analyses, it was revealed that the immobilization mechanism of heavy metals in the solidified body primarily involved physical encapsulation and chemical bonding.

Photocatalysis has emerged as a promising strategy to address water pollution caused by heavy metals and antibiotics. Zeolites exhibit significant potential in petrochemical catalysis; however, the development of zeolite-based photocatalysts remains a critical challenge for researchers. Herein, a novel Z-scheme heterojunction was designed and fabricated on the titanium-silicon zeolite TS-1 by modifying g-CN via a simple calcination process.

Objectives: Antibiotic resistance towards penicillin has been attempted to counter by chemically modifying ampicillin through the conjugation with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The current study optimizes the conditions for synthesizing and characterizing AgNP-ampicillin to quantify the conjugation extent, evaluate the antibacterial efficacy, and explore the underlying antibacterial mechanisms.
Materials And Methods: AgNPs were synthesized from silver nitrate by chemical reduction method, silica-coated with tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and amine functionalized by (3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (APTES), which was then conjugated with ampicillin via the carbodiimide chemistry.

Cadmium (Cd) pollution in rice agroecosystems has become a pressing worldwide environmental challenge. Straw return leads to Cd re-entering the soil, yet the impact of straw removal (SR) on Cd mobility and bioavailability within this system remains unclear. We implemented a four-season field study to evaluate how different SR intensities (NSR: no rice straw was removed; HSR: half of the rice straw was removed; TSR: all the rice straw was removed) influence Cd availability in this system.

The use of mercury (Hg) in artisanal gold mining in San Martin de Loba (SML), Bolivar, Colombia, poses significant environmental and health risks. This study aimed to evaluate total mercury (T-Hg) concentrations in chicken feathers (Gallus gallus) and soils from SML, and compare them with those obtained in a reference site without mining activity (Arjona). A total of 40 chickens and 30 soil samples were taken in SML, along with 31 chickens and 21 soil samples in Arjona.
