Abstract
Integrated recycling of solid waste containing heavy metals is a critical environmental challenge. In this study, a green solution to reduce heavy metal leaching from solid waste is demonstrated by combining contaminated soil, industrial sludge and lithium slag in pairs to produce lightweight aggregates (LWAs). The physical properties and heavy metal leaching behavior of LWA samples were systematically investigated and characterized. The results showed that industrial sludge reduced the density and water absorption of LWA, while the high content of lithium slag was detrimental to the physical properties. LWA containing 80% contaminated soil and 20% lithium slag had the lowest particle density of 1.47 g/cm3 due to the hollow structure caused by the low viscosity and violent generation of SO2. LWAs with lithium slag leached excessive Cu and Cr relatively, while heavy metals were immobilized well in LWAs with contaminated soil and industrial sludge as the main components. Because the flux components of industrial sludge could enhance the encapsulation of heavy metals by glass phase. In addition, the co-immobilization of multiple heavy metals was observed in the spinel phase. This study provides an efficient and safe method for the synergistic recycling of solid waste.

Jia A, Zhao Y, Liu Z, Zhang F, Shi C, Liu Z, Hong M, Li Y. New insight into enhanced transport of multi-component porous covalent-organic polymers with alkyl chains as injection agents for levofloxacin removal in saturated sand columns. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 862:160773. [PMID: 36509275 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.160773] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2022] [Revised: 11/19/2022] [Accepted: 12/04/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Levofloxacin (LEV) is prone to be retained in aquifers due to its strong adsorption affinity onto sand, thus posing a threat to groundwater quality. In-situ injection technology for remediating LEV-contaminated soil and groundwater is still challenging owing to the lack of appropriate remedial agents. Herein, two novel multi-component porous covalent-organic polymers (namely, SLEL-1 and SLEL-2) with alkyl chains were constructed through Schiff-base reactions to adsorb LEV from an aqueous solution, in which the kinetics, isotherms, influenced factors were investigated. Plausible adsorption mechanisms were proposed through characterization and experimental analysis, including pore filling effect, π-π electron-donor-acceptor (EDA) interaction, hydrogen bonding force, hydrophobic-hydrophobic interaction as well as electrostatic force. In addition, response surface methodology (RSM) revealed the treatment optimization and reciprocal relationship within multi-variables. Furthermore, taking advantage of favorable dispersion and outstanding competitive behavior, SLEL-1 was established as an in-situ adsorptive agent in dynamic saturated columns on a laboratory scale to investigate the removal of LEV from water-bearing stratum. Overall, the findings of this work provided an insight into the fabrication of SLELs as long-term mobile and reusable adsorptive agents for practical in-situ applications in the future.

Abstract
In this study, a non-woven rotating biological contactor was evaluated for the treatment of municipal sewage via simultaneous partial nitrification, anaerobic ammonia oxidation (anammox), and denitrification (SNAD). Fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis showed that the dominant bacterial group in the aerobic outer layer of the biofilm was ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (65.13%), whereas anammox (47.17%) and denitrifying (38.91%) bacteria were present in the anaerobic inner layer. Response surface methodology was applied to develop mathematical models for the interaction between C/N and dissolved oxygen (DO) for chemical oxygen demand (COD) and total nitrogen (TN) removal. Results showed that the optimum region for SNAD was at C/N = 1.4-2.3 and DO = 0.2-0.8 mg/L. The most optimal operating condition was determined at C/N = 2.3 and DO = 0.2 mg/L, with actual removal rates of COD and TN were 83.12% and 79.13%, respectively, which are in close model consistency with model prediction (84% and 80%).

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2017; 601-602:508-517.

Abstract
Zinc hydroxide chloride monohydrate (Zn5(OH)8Cl2·H2O) and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures were synthesized by simple precipitation and pyrolysis methods, respectively and characterized by means of various instrumental methods. Their photocatalytic efficiencies as two potential photocatalysts for photodegradation of a clinical wastewater, ciprofloxacin (CIP), were probed and compared. The results indicated that in comparison with Zn5(OH)8Cl2·H2O nanoplates, the photodegradation was 1.4 times faster when using ZnO nanoparticles as well as higher removal percentage. The optimum pH obtained was 8 that it is typically found for hospital wastewater. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) exhibited high R2 values, high F-values, very low P-values, and non-significant lack of fit values demonstrating good correlation between experimental and predicted values of the response for both catalysts. Kinetic studies identified first order model as a suitable model for description of photodegradation processes for both nanosized Zn5(OH)8Cl2·H2O and ZnO. The chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal of 43.30 and 56.30% were obtained after 24h for Zn5(OH)8Cl2·H2O nanoplates and ZnO nanoparticles, respectively. Ultra-performance liquid chromatography method coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) for the determination of CIP degradation products has been used. Taken together, ZnO nanoparticles were more efficient in CIP removal due to some properties as in higher surface area and lower band gap.

Abstract
The fine dust of incinerator bottom ash generated from dry discharge systems can be transformed into an inert material suitable for the production of hard, dense ceramics. Processing involves the addition of glass, ball milling and calcining to remove volatile components from the incinerator bottom ash. This transforms the major crystalline phases present in fine incinerator bottom ash dust from quartz (SiO(2)), calcite (CaCO(3)), gehlenite (Ca(2)Al(2)SiO(7)) and hematite (Fe(2)O(3)), to the pyroxene group minerals diopside (CaMgSi(2)O(6)), clinoenstatite (MgSi(2)O(6)), wollastonite (CaSiO(3)) together with some albite (NaAlSi(3)O(8)) and andradite (Ca(3)Fe(2)Si(3)O(12)). Processed powders show minimal leaching and can be pressed and sintered to form dense (>2.5 g cm(-3)), hard ceramics that exhibit low firing shrinkage (<7%) and zero water absorption. The research demonstrates the potential to beneficially up-cycle the fine incinerator bottom ash dust from dry discharge technology into a raw material suitable for the production of ceramic tiles that have potential for use in a range of industrial applications.
