Abstract
A novel system for simultaneous biogas upgrading, CO2 sequestration, and biogas slurry decrement was established by adding biomass ash into biogas slurry to form a renewable CO2 mixture absorbent. After CO2 saturation, the CO2-rich mixture absorbent could be applied for plant growth. When the mass ratio of liquid to solid was 4:1, CO2 absorption capacity of this mixture absorbent reached up to 97.33 g-CO2/kg-biomass-ash, which was about 135% higher than that of the biomass ash-water mixture. The highest value of 129.94 g-CO2/kg-biomass-ash was obtained at a liquid-solid ratio of 99:1. When the TS concentration of anaerobic digestion feedstock was higher than 16 wt% and the water content of CO2-rich absorbent was about 50 wt%, more than 80% of biogas slurry can be adsorbed by the biomass ash. If the biomass ash with a CO2 absorption capacity of 100 g-CO2/kg was adopted and its transportation distance was less than 45 km, the biogas upgrading cost could be lower than the global average level (about RMB¥ 0.7/Nm3-biogas) when using the novel system proposed in this study.

Abstract
Calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2), a commodity chemical, finds use in diverse industries ranging from food, to environmental remediation and construction. However, the current thermal process of Ca(OH)2 production via limestone calcination is energy- and CO2-intensive. Herein, we demonstrate a novel aqueous-phase calcination-free process to precipitate Ca(OH)2 from saturated solutions at sub-boiling temperatures in three steps. First, calcium was extracted from an archetypal alkaline industrial waste, a steel slag, to produce an alkaline leachate. Second, the leachate was concentrated using reverse osmosis (RO) processing. This elevated the Ca-abundance in the leachate to a level approaching Ca(OH)2 saturation at ambient temperature. Thereafter, Ca(OH)2 was precipitated from the concentrated leachate by forcing a temperature excursion in excess of 65 °C while exploiting the retrograde solubility of Ca(OH)2. This nature of temperature swing can be forced using low-grade waste heat (≤100 °C) as is often available at power generation, and industrial facilities, or using solar thermal heat. Based on a detailed accounting of the mass and energy balances, this new process offers at least ≈65% lower CO2 emissions than incumbent methods of Ca(OH)2, and potentially, cement production. A calcination-free route to produce calcium hydroxide from alkaline industrial wastes including leaching, concentration, and temperature-swing precipitation.![]()

Abstract
In this study, indirect carbonation was carried out by using cement kiln dust (CKD), an alkaline industrial by-product, and three chelating agents (citrate, malonate, and adipate salts) as solvents at the room temperature and atmospheric pressure. We derived the optimum conditions for eluting Ca from CKD, as well as those for storing CO2 and producing CaCO3 through carbonation. The most important factor affecting the Ca elution from CKD was the solvent concentration and that for the carbonation was the end-of-carbonation pH. Under the optimum conditions of Ca elution, the molar ratios of Ca and solvent in eluates were 1:1, 1:2, and 1:2, respectively, using citrate, malonate, and adipate solvents. Based on the results, we propose that one molecule of Ca ion and one molecule citrate that is tridentate are combined to form a complex. The bidentate malonate and adipate, on the other hand, form complexes by combining one molecule of Ca ion and two molecules of each solvent. It is essential to raise the pH while simultaneously minimizing the amount of free chelating agent in solution to produce more CaCO3 and prevent its dissolution. Besides, it is absolutely necessary to terminate the carbonation reaction at a pH of about 10.5 to improve the reuse efficiency of the chelating agent. CaCO3 produced through carbonation reaction started to dissolve at pH approximately 10.5. All of the CaCO3 produced was calcite with a purity of 98%. The efficiency of Ca elution from CKD using three solvents increased significantly with increasing stability constant of a Ca-ligand complex, but the efficiency of carbonation was the same for all solvents.

Abstract
In this work, to achieve both clean energy production and carbon emission reduction, a united conversion to couple CO2 mineralization with thermochemical hydrogen production is proposed. Natural magnesium silicate minerals are used to fix CO2 in the form of carbonate minerals, whereas H2O is dissociated to produce H2 in the thermochemical cycle. The integration provides a new solution to the challenges of the high energy consumption and poor economic value of conventional CO2 mineralization processes, and the technical feasibility has been proven. Moreover, the energy economy and CO2 conversion capacity were investigated. Hydrolyzation and carbonation experiments were performed in a homemade reactor, and it was found that an optimal MgI2 hydrolyzation rate of 75% could be achieved without alkali consumption. A detailed simulation of the whole system was also developed. The optimal energy conversion efficiency of the cycle reached 47.6%, which is higher than most of the published theoretical energy efficiency values for sulfur-iodine thermochemical cycles. A modified calculation of the net energy requirement for CO2 mineralization was carried out. Finally, a comparison and an evaluation of the energy efficiencies were made based on the calculation. In the optimal case, the modified net energy requirement is 1.4 MJ/kg CO2, which means that this method is competitive compared to those of previous works.

Abstract
Introduction of coal fly ash into aquatic systems poses a potential environmental hazard because of its heavy metal content. Here we investigate the relationship between solid phase transformations, fluid composition, and metal release and speciation during prolonged wet aging of a class C and class F coal fly ash. The class C ash causes rapid alkalinization of water that is neutralized over time by CO(2) uptake from air and calcite precipitation. The resulting aqueous metal concentrations are below regulatory limits with the exception of Cr; solubility constraints suggest this is released as chromate. Limited As release is accompanied by no change in solid-phase speciation, but up to 35% of the Zn in the ash dissolves and reprecipitates in secondary phases. Similar processes inhibit Ba and Cu release. In contrast, the class F ash causes rapid acidification of water and initially releases substantial quantities of As, Se, Cr, Cu, Zn, and Ba. Arsenic concentrations decline during aging because of adsorption to the iron oxide-rich ash; this is aided by As(III) oxidation. Precipitation processes lower Ba and Cr concentrations during aging. Se, Cu, and Zn concentrations remain elevated during wet aging and solid-phase Zn speciation is not affected by ash-water reactions. Total metal contents were poor predictors of metal release, which is predominantly controlled by metal speciation and the effects of ash-water reactions on fluid pH. While contact with atmospheric gases has little effect on class F ash, carbonation of class C ash inhibits metal release and neutralizes the alkalinity produced by the ash.
