In this work, using fly ash and calcium carbide slag as mixed precursors, hydrogen peroxide and sodium dodecyl sulfate as mixed foaming agents, porous microsphere geopolymer was prepared by suspension curing technology to remove Cu (II) from aqueous solution. Because the Ca (OH) in calcium carbide slag effectively improves the pozzolana activity of fly ash, more C-S-H gel is produced in the geopolymerization process, and the foaming process makes the material have larger specific surface area and better adsorption properties. The results show that the specific surface area of the material is 63.46 m·g, the product regeneration rate is 83.20%, the optimal adsorption conditions are pH = 5, and the adsorption capacity was 118.48 mg·g. At the same time, it is found that the pseudo-first-order kinetic model and the Langmuir isotherm model can be applied to adsorption kinetics and isothermal adsorption respectively. Adsorption mechanisms may include physisorption and chemisorption. The adsorption capacity of this product for Cu(II) is better than that of other similar products, which has great potential in the field of heavy metal adsorption and provides a new idea for the resourceful use of industrial by-products.

The production of phosphogypsum (PG), calcium carbide slag (CS), and red mud (RM) in global industrial development imposes serious environmental issues. Utilizing CS and PG as curing agents and incorporating RM as a soil substitute can facilitate the solid waste resource utilization. However, few studies have investigated the synergistic effects of PG and CS on the stabilization of RM and soil.

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.

In this study, a correlative approach using Raman spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is introduced to meet the challenges of identifying impurities, especially carbon-related compounds in metal injection-molded (MIM) Mg-0.6Ca specimens designed for biomedical applications. This study addresses, for the first time, the issue of carbon residuals in the binder-based powder metallurgy (PM) processing of Mg-0.

Esters are valuable compounds in fine organic synthesis and industry. The significant growth in the demand for esters requires the development of scalable production methods. Heterogeneous CaO-based catalysts for the production of esters by transesterification are promising catalytic systems for the production of these desired compounds.

Sand-washing sludge (SWS), a by-product of sand production processes, poses environmental challenges due to its massive accumulation. To improve resource utilization of waste SWS, this study stabilized SWS to prepare fluidized solidified soil (FSS) using ordinary Portland cement (OPC) and industrial solid waste (ISW). A systematic evaluation framework for FSS was developed by integrating key engineering properties (flowability, mechanical strength, and durability), microstructure, and environmental impact assessment.
