Abstract
The remediation of heavy metals/metalloids (HMs) co-contaminated soil by solid wastes-based stabilizers (SWBS) has received major concern recently. Based on the literature reported in the latest years (2010-2023), this review systematically summarizes the different types of solid wastes (e.g., steel slag, coal fly ash, red mud, and sewage sludge, etc.) employed to stabilize HMs contaminated soil, and presents results from laboratory and field experiments. Firstly, the suitable solid wastes for soil remediation are reviewed, and the pros and cons are presented. Thereafter, the technical feasibility and economic benefit are evaluated for field application. Moreover, evaluation methods for remediation of different types of HMs-contaminated soil and the effects of SWBS on soil properties are summarized. Finally, due to the large specific surface, porous structure, and high reactivity, the SWBS can effectively stabilize HMs via adsorption, complexation, co/precipitation, ion exchange, electrostatic interaction, redox, and hydration process. Importantly, the environmental implications and long-term effectiveness associated with the utilization of solid wastes are highlighted, which are challenges for practical implementation of soil stabilization using SWBS, because the aging of soil/solid wastes has not been thoroughly investigated. Future attention should focus on modifying the SWBS and establishing an integrated long-term stability evaluation method.

Abstract
With the rapid growth of the metallurgical industry, there is a significant increase in the production of metallurgical slags. The waste slags pose significant challenges for their disposal because of complex compositions, low utilization rates, and environmental toxicity. One promising approach is to utilize metallurgical slags as catalysts for treatment of refractory organic pollutants in wastewater through advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), achieving the objective of "treating waste with waste". This work provides a literature review of the source, production, and chemical composition of metallurgical slags, including steel slag, copper slag, electrolytic manganese residue, and red mud. It emphasizes the modification methods of metallurgical slags as catalysts and the application in AOPs for degradation of refractory organic pollutants. The reaction conditions, catalytic performance, and degradation mechanisms of organic pollutants using metallurgical slags are summarized. Studies have proved the feasibility of using metallurgical slags as catalysts for removing various pollutants by AOPs. The catalytic performance was significantly influenced by slags-derived catalysts, catalyst modification, and process factors. Future research should focus on addressing the safety and stability of catalysts, developing green and efficient modification methods, enhancing degradation efficiency, and implementing large-scale treatment of real wastewater. This work offers insights into the resource utilization of metallurgical slags and pollutant degradation in wastewater.

Abstract
A large amount of open-dumped electrolytic manganese residue (EMR) has posed a severe threat to the ecosystem and public health due to the leaching of ammonia (NH4+) and manganese (Mn). In this study, CaO addition coupled with low-temperature roasting was applied for the treatment of EMR. The effects of roasting temperature, roasting time, CaO-EMR mass ratio and solid-liquid ratio were investigated. The most cost-effective and practically viable condition was explored through response surface methodology. At a CaO: EMR ratio of 1:16.7, after roasting at 187 °C for 60 min, the leaching concentrations of NH4+ and Mn dropped to 10.18 mg/L and 1.05 mg/L, respectively, below their discharge standards. In addition, the magnesium hazard (MH) of EMR, which was often neglected, was studied. After treatment, the MH of the EMR leachate was reduced from 60 to 37. Mechanism analysis reveals that roasting can promote NH4+ to escape as NH3 and convert dihydrate gypsum to hemihydrate gypsum. Mn2+ and Mg2+ were mainly solidified as MnO2 and Mg(OH)2, respectively. This study proposes an efficient and low-cost approach for the treatment of EMR and provides valuable information for its practical application.

Abstract
Electrolytic manganese slag (EMS), a bulk waste generated in industrial electrolytic manganese production, can be a cost-effective adsorbent for heavy metals removal after appropriate modification. In this study, EMS was activated by NaOH and then used to make the EMS-based double-network hydrogel (an EMS/PAA hydrogel) via a one-pot method. The results showed that the EMS/PAA hydrogel exhibits a high selective adsorption capacity of 153.85, 113.63 and 54.35 mg·g-1 for Pb (II), Cd (II) and Cu (II), respectively. In addition, Density Functional Theory (DFT) suggests that the adsorption energies (Ead) of Pb, Cd and Cu on SiO2/PAA of the EMS/PAA gels are - 4.15, - 1.96, and - 2.83 eV, respectively, and SiO2/PAA, with a strong affinity to Pb2+, is one of the reasons for the selective adsorption capacity of EMS/PAA gel for Pb2+. The removal efficiency of the EMS/PAA gel for Pb2+, Cd2+, Cu2+ decreased after four adsorption-desorption cycles by 20.00 %, 24.56 % and 46.56 %, respectively. Mechanism studies suggested that the elimination of the heavy metals by EMS/PAA gels mainly involves electrostatic attraction, inner-sphere complexation, and coordination interactions. The EMS/PAA hydrogels not only have high adsorption capacity, but are also easy to prepare and circulate, making them ideal for practical applications.

Abstract
The environmentally sustainable treatment of steel slag (SS) and oil shale waste (OSW) is a significant concern in the field of industrial development. The mining industry also faces challenges related to the high costs and carbon emissions associated with ordinary Portland cement (OPC), leading to environmental pollution. To address these challenges, this study aimed to develop a cost-effective and environmentally friendly binder for cemented paste backfill (CPB) by utilizing SS and calcined oil shale waste (COSW) as primary precursors. Extensive investigations were conducted to evaluate the properties of the CPB sample with varying COSW content, including rheological properties, mechanical strength, and microstructure. The binder sample was comprehensively characterized using isothermal calorimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetry (TG), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Based on systematic experimentation, an optimal blend ratio for the binder was determined, consisting of 60 wt% SS, 15 wt% COSW, 15 wt% phosphogypsum (PG), and 10 wt% OPC. The exceptional performance of the binder was attributed to the substantial formation of precipitated ettringite (AFt), resulting in a more compact structure and improved mechanical strength. Additionally, a sequential extraction test revealed that the heavy metals in the CPB sample were mainly present in the residual fraction, demonstrating the effective immobilization of heavy metals by the binder.

Abstract
Catalytic thermal treatment is an efficient and low-energy consumption method for degrading polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) in municipal solid waste incineration fly ash (MSWIFA). However, catalysts with high activity are expensive, difficult to separate and reuse from the treated MSWIFA, and they usually pose a risk of heavy metal pollution. Herein, a synergistic thermal treatment method of MSWIFA and electrolytic manganese residue (EMR) at relatively low temperatures was proposed after an in-depth analysis of their mineralogy composition to achieve detoxification of PCDD/Fs in MSWIFA. The mass and WHO-TEQ degradation efficiencies of PCDD/Fs significantly increased from -92.79% and -51.46%-98.57% and 96.10%, respectively, by the addition of electrolytic manganese residue (EMR) with an MSWIFA/EMR ratio of 3:7 in the thermal treatment of MSWIFA at 250 °C for 60 min. The WHO-TEQ concentration of PCDD/Fs in the treated sample decreased to 3.7 ng WHO-TEQ/kg, meeting the European end-of-waste criteria (20 ng WHO-TEQ/kg). The excellent degradation effect of EMR on PCDD/Fs in MSWIFA could be attributed to two aspects: 1) the manganese oxides in EMR has a catalytic effect on the degradation of PCDD/Fs; 2) the NH3 generated by the decomposition of (NH4)2SO4 in EMR is conducive to the degradation and resynthesis inhibition of PCDD/Fs. Besides, the thermodynamic calculations indicated that CaClOH in MSWIFA played a crucial role in the decomposition of (NH4)2SO4 in EMR. In addition, the degradation pathways and mechanisms of PCDD/Fs-homologues under the synergistic effect of manganese oxides, ammonia, and thermal field were investigated through comparative analysis of concentration and fingerprint of PCDD/Fs.

Abstract
Heavy metal soil contamination has become an increasingly serious problem in industrial development. However, industrial byproducts used for remediation are one aspect of green remediation that can contribute to sustainable practices in waste recycling. In this study, electrolytic manganese slags (EMS) were mechanically activated and modified into a passivator (M-EMS), and the heavy metal adsorption performance of M-EMS, heavy metal passivation ability in soil, dissolved organic matter (DOM) change and its effect on the microbial community structure of soil were investigated. The findings revealed that the maximum adsorption capacities of As(V), Cd2+, Cu2+ and Pb2+ were 76.32 mg/g, 301.41 mg/g, 306.83 mg/g and 826.81 mg/g, respectively, indicating that M-EMS demonstrated remarkable removal performance for different heavy metals. The Langmuir model fits Cd2+, Cu2+ and Pb2+ better than the Freundlich model, and monolayer adsorption is the main process. Surface complexation played a major role in the As(V) adsorption's on the surface of metal oxides in M-EMS. The passivation effect was ranked as Pb > Cr > As>Ni > Cd > Cu, with the highest passivation rate of 97.59 % for Pb, followed by Cr (94.76 %), then As (71.99 %), Ni (65.17 %), Cd (61.44 %), and the worst one was Cu (25.17 %). In conclusion, the passivator has the effect of passivation for each heavy metal. The addition of passivating agent can enhance the diversity of microorganisms. Then it can change the dominant flora and induce the passivation of heavy metals through microorganisms. XRD, FTIR, XPS and the microbial community structure of soil indicated that M-EMS can stabilize heavy metals in contaminated soils through four main mechanisms: ion exchange, electrostatic adsorption, complex precipitation and the microbially induced stabilization. The results of this study may provide new insights into the ecological remediation of multiple heavy-metal-contaminated soils and water bodies and research on the strategy of waste reduction and harmlessness by using EMS-based composites in combination with heavy metals in soil.

Abstract
Electrolytic manganese residue (EMR) is a solid waste that contains a significant amount of soluble manganese and ammonia nitrogen, which can pose risks to human health if improperly disposed of. This study aimed to prepare cementitious materials containing abundant ettringite crystals by mixing EMR with various proportions of granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS) and alkaline activators (CaO, Ca(OH)2, clinker, NaOH). The resulting cementitious material not only utilized a substantial amount of EMR but also exhibited comparable strength to ordinary Portland cement. The optimal ratios were determined through mechanical testing. Additionally, the leaching toxicity of cementitious materials was assessed using ICP-MS (inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer) tests. The microscopic properties, hydration, and mechanism of heavy metal solidification in the cementitious materials were evaluated using XRD (X-ray diffraction), SEM (scanning electron microscope), EDS (energy-dispersive spectrometer), FTIR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy), and TG (thermogravimetric) techniques. The results showed that the optimal ratio for the cementitious materials was 60% EMR, 36% GBFS, and 4% Ca(OH)2. The hardened mortar exhibited compressive strengths of 34.43 MPa, 41.3 MPa, and 50.89 MPa at 3 days, 7 days, and 28 days, respectively, with an EMR utilization rate of 60%. The hydration products of EMR-based cementitious materials were C-(A)-S-H, AFt, and ferromanganese compounds, which contribute to the mechanical strength. The Mn2+ and NH4+-N contents of raw EMR were 1220 and 149 mg/L, respectively. Nonetheless, the leaching of Mn2+ and NH4+-N in the alkali-EMR-GBFS system was significantly below the limits set by the Chinese emission standard GB8978-1996. Within this system, C-(A)-S-H and AFt could physically adsorb and displace heavy metals, Ca6Mn2(SO4)2(SO3)2(OH)12·24H2O could replace Al ions with Mn ions, and ferromanganese compounds Fe2Mn(PO4)2(OH)2·(H2O)8 and MnFe2O4 could chemically precipitate Mn2+.

Abstract
Electrolytic Manganese Residue (EMR) is a solid waste containing soluble sulfate, discharged by electrolytic manganese industries. The accumulation of EMR in ponds poses a significant hazard to both safety and the environment. This study utilized innovative geotechnical test techniques to conduct a series of tests, investigating the effect of soluble salts on the geotechnical characteristics of EMR. The results revealed that soluble sulfates had a significant impact on the geotechnical characteristics of the EMR. In particular, the infiltration of water leached away the soluble salts, causing a non-uniform particle size distribution and decreasing the shear strength, stiffness, and liquefaction resistance of the EMR. Nevertheless, an increase in the stacking density of EMR could improve its mechanical characteristics and inhibited the dissolution of soluble salts. Therefore, increasing the density of stacked EMR, ensuring the effectiveness and non-obstruction of the water interception facilities, and reducing rainwater infiltration could be effective measures to enhance the safety and reduce the environmental hazard of EMR ponds.

Abstract
Heavy metals (HMs) and ammonia nitrogen (AN) leaching from electrolytic manganese residue (EMR) result in the contamination of agricultural soils and water bodies. Batch and column leaching tests were conducted to simulate the release of HMs and AN in EMR during precipitation, as well as their migration and transformation in agricultural soils. The results show that Mn, AN, Cd, Ni, and Zn present in the EMR had high acid soluble fraction (un-fixed AN) content, and the leachability of Mn and AN was significantly higher than that of other hazardous elements. The cumulative release of hazardous elements in the EMR stockpile was well-fitted (R2 > 0.95) by the HILL model. Significant HMs and AN accumulated in the agricultural soils after contamination from the EMR leachate. The pollution degree of HMs in agricultural soils was ranked as Mn > Ni > Pb ≈ Zn ≈ Cr > Cd. The acid soluble fraction (un-fixed AN) content of Mn, Ni, Zn, and AN in agricultural soils increased significantly. The risk assessment code shows that the risk level of Mn in agricultural soils changed from medium to high; Ni and Zn in surface soils changed from low to medium. These results indicated that the leaching from EMR would significantly increase the ecological risk of HMs in surrounding agricultural soils, and the large release of AN would pose a great threat to aquatic systems if not properly addressed.

Abstract
Heavy metals in mine tailings lead to serious environmental problems. Cemented paste backfill (CPB) is widely used for treating the mine tailing. The high cost of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) reduces the profit of mine production. The work investigates the treatment of Cr(VI)-containing tailings by using slag-based cementitious materials for CPB. Flue gas desulfurization gypsum (FGDG) and limestone were used to modify the properties of samples. Results showed that the coupling addition of 6 wt% FGDG and 3 wt% limestone (A6L3) led to the highest compressive strength of CPB samples, which also presented satisfactory immobilization effects for Cr(VI). The compressive strength of CPB samples using A6L3 as a binder was comparable to the OPC-based sample, reaching about 5.53 MPa; the immobilization efficiency for Cr(VI) was about 99.5%. The effects of FGDG and limestone were twofold: the addition of FGDG favored the formation of ettringite and then contributed to a more compact structure; besides, incorporating limestone increased the packing density of the CPB system by decreasing the loosening and wedge effect.

Abstract
Desulfurized manganese residue (DMR) is an industrial solid residue produced by high-temperature and high-pressure desulfurization calcination of electrolytic manganese residue (EMR). DMR not only occupies land resources but also easily causes heavy metal pollution in soil, surface water, and groundwater. Therefore, it is necessary to treat the DMR safely and effectively so that it can be used as a resource. In this paper, Ordinary Portland cement (P.O 42.5) was used as a curing agent to treat DMR harmlessly. The effects of cement content and DMR particle size on flexural strength, compressive strength, and leaching toxicity of a cement-DMR solidified body were studied. The phase composition and microscopic morphology of the solidified body were analyzed by XRD, SEM, and EDS, and the mechanism of cement-DMR solidification was discussed. The results show that the flexural strength and compressive strength of a cement-DMR solidified body can be significantly improved by increasing the cement content to 80 mesh particle size. When the cement content is 30%, the DMR particle size has a great influence on the strength of the solidified body. When the DMR particle size is 4 mesh, the DMR particles will form stress concentration points in the solidified body and reduce its strength. In the DMR leaching solution, the leaching concentration of Mn is 2.8 mg/L, and the solidification rate of Mn in the cement-DMR solidified body with 10% cement content can reach 99.8%. The results of XRD, SEM, and EDS showed that quartz (SiO2) and gypsum dihydrate (CaSO4·2H2O) were the main phases in the raw slag. Quartz and gypsum dihydrate could form ettringite (AFt) in the alkaline environment provided by cement. Mn was finally solidified by MnO2, and Mn could be solidified in C-S-H gel by isomorphic replacement.

Abstract
The desulfurized electrolytic manganese residue (DMR) was prepared by calcination and desulfurization of industrial waste electrolytic manganese residue, and the original DMR was ground to prepare DMR fine powder (GDMR) with specific surface areas of 383 m2/kg, 428 m2/kg, and 629 m2/kg. The effects of particle fineness and content of GDMR (GDMR content=0%, 10%, 20%, 30%) on the physical properties of cement and the mechanical properties of mortar were studied. After that, the leachability of heavy metal ions was tested, and the hydration products of GDMR cement were analyzed using XRD and SEM. The results show that the addition of GDMR can regulate the fluidity and water requirement for the normal consistency of cement, delay the hydration process of cement, increase the initial setting and final setting time of cement, and reduce the strength of cement mortar, especially the strength of early age mortar. As the fineness of GDMR increases, the reduction of bending strength and compressive strength decreases, and the activity index increases. The content of GDMR has a significant effect on short-term strength. With the increase in GDMR content, the strength reduction degree becomes higher and the activity index decreases. When the content of GDMR was 30%, the 3D compressive strength and bending strength decreased by 33.1% and 29%. When the content of GDMR in cement is less than 20%, the maximum limit of leachable heavy metal content in cement clinker can be met.

Abstract
Electrolytic manganese residue (EMR) and red mud (RM) are solid waste by-products of the metal manganese and alumina industries, respectively. Under long-term open storage, ammonia nitrogen and soluble manganese ions in EMR and alkaline substances in RM severely pollute and harm the environment. In order to alleviate the pollution problem of EMR and RM. In this study, the alkaline substances in RM were used to treat ammonia nitrogen and soluble manganese ions in EMR. The results confirm the following suitable treatment conditions for the mutual treatment of EMR and RM: EMR-RM mass ratio = 1:1, liquid-solid ratio = 1.4:1, and stirring time = 320 min. Under these conditions, the elimination ratios of ammonia nitrogen (emitted in the form of ammonia gas) and soluble manganese ions (solidified in the form of Mn3.88O7(OH) and KMn8O16) are 85.87 and 86.63%, respectively. Moreover, the alkaline substances in RM are converted into neutral salts (Na2SO4 and Mg3O(CO3)2), achieving de-alkalinisation. The treatment method can also solidify the heavy metal ions-Cr3+, Cu2+, Ni2+, and Zn2+-present in the waste residue with leaching concentrations of 1.45 mg/L, 0.099 mg/L, 0.294 mg/L, and 0.449 mg/L, respectively. This satisfies the requirements of the Chinese standard GB5085.3-2007. In the mutual treatment of EMR and RM, the kinetics of ammonia nitrogen removal and manganese-ion solidification reactions are controlled via a combination of membrane diffusion and chemical reaction mechanisms.

Abstract
Electrolytic manganese residue (EMR) is a solid waste produced in the process of electrolytic manganese metal (EMM) production. In recent years, the accumulation of EMR has caused increasingly serious environmental problems. To better understand the state of EMR recycling in recent years, this paper used a comprehensive literature database to conduct a statistical analysis of EMR-related publications from 2010 to 2022 from two perspectives: harmless green treatment and resource utilization. The results showed that the research on the comprehensive utilization of EMR mainly focused on the fields of chemical hazard-free treatment and manufacturing building materials. The related studies of EMR in the fields of biological harmlessness, applied electric field harmlessness, manganese series materials, adsorbents, geopolymers, glass-ceramics, catalysts, and agriculture were also reported. Finally, we put forward some suggestions to solve the EMR problem, hoping that this work could provide a reference for the clean disposal and efficient utilization of EMR.

Abstract
The utilization of blast furnace slag (BFS) and fly ash (FA) to replace ordinary portland cement (OPC) has become a hot topic in the preparation of low-cost cemented paste backfill (CPB). This study has prepared a composite activated slag-based binder (CASB) using BFS and FA as the basic raw materials and desulfurization gypsum (DG) and cement clinker (CC) as the activator. The optimum ratio of CASB was determined based on the orthogonal test and the efficacy coefficient method. The hydration products and hydration mechanism of CASB materials were further investigated using XRD, TG, and SEM tests; on this basis, the compressive strength of hardened CASB-CPB under different working conditions and the rheological properties of fresh slurry were investigated, and the cost analysis and environmental effects of CASB were carried out. The results show that the optimum ratio of CASB was 15:12:13:60 for FA: CC: DG: BFS; the hydration mechanism of CASB was the coupled alkali-sulfate activation of CC and DG, and the main hydration products were hydrated calcium silicate gels (C-S-H gels) and ettringite (AFt); increasing the mass concentration (Cw) at a constant cement-aggregate ratio (C/A), which caused a significant improvement in the compressive strength at 7 and 28 d while reduced the flowability of the slurry; CASB considerably reduced the filling cost compared to OPC, and effectively immobilization the heavy metals in the tailings. This paper has developed a cement alternative binder of CASB, which has considerable significance for the comprehensive utilization of solid waste, reduction of filling costs, and improvement of economic and ecological benefits of the mine.

Abstract
Electrolytic manganese residue (EMR) contains high concentrations of NH4+ and heavy metals, such as Mn2+, Zn2+, Cu2+, Pb2+, Ni2+ and Co2+, while carbide slag (CS) contains high amount of OH- and CO32-, both posing a serious threat to the ecosystem. In this study, EMR and CS synergistic stabilization/solidification (S/S) was discussed science CS could stabilize or solidify EMR and simultaneously reduce its corrosive. The results showed that after the synergistic S/S for 24 h when liquid-solid ratio was 17.5% and CS dosage was 7%, Mn2+ and NH4+ leaching concentrations of the S/S EMR were below the detection limits (0.02 mg/L and 0.10 mg/L) with a pH value of 8.8, meeting the requirements of the Chinese integrated wastewater discharge standard (GB 8978-1996). Mn2+ was stabilized as MnFe2O4, Mn2SiO4, CaMnSi2O6, and NH4+ escaped as NH3. Zn2+, Cu2+, Pb2+, Ni2+ and Co2+ in EMR can also be stabilized/solidified because of the react with OH- and CO32- in CS. Chemical cost was only $ 0.54 for per ton of EMR synergistic harmless treatment with CS. This study provided a new idea for EMR cost-effective and environment-friendly harmless treatment.

Abstract
The alkaline components in red mud represent one of the crucial factors restricting its application, especially for the construction and building industry. The phase state of alkaline components has a significant influence on the dealkalization of red mud. In this work, an environmentally friendly acid leaching strategy is proposed by controlling the phase transformation of red mud during active roasting pretreatment. With a moderate roasting temperature, the alkaline component is prevented from converting into insoluble phases. After acid leaching with a low concentration of 0.1 M, a high dealkalization rate of 92.8% is obtained. Besides, the leachate is neutral (pH = 7) and the valuable metals in red mud are well preserved, manifesting a high selectivity and efficiency of diluted acid leaching. The calcination experiment further confirms the practicability of the strategy in the construction field, where the cementitious minerals can be formed in large quantities. Compared with the traditional acid leaching routes, the diluted acid leaching strategy in this work is acid saving with low valuable element consumption. Meanwhile, the secondary pollution issue can be alleviated. Hence, the findings in this work provide a feasible approach for the separation and recovery of alkali and resource utilization of red mud.

Abstract
Cemented paste backfill (CPB) favors the sustainable development of mine industry. However, as the primary cementitious binders in CPB, the high cost of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) discourages CPB utilization. In the present work, low-carbon and low-cost binders activated by Na2CO3 supplemented by calcined quarry dust were used in CPB. The binder was prepared using a 'one-part' method. It was found that binders prepared using 8% Na2CO3 and 5% CQD show the best performance. The superior properties of the binders were attributed to the promoted binder hydration and special phase assembles of the hydration products. Cost and carbon emission analysis showed that Na2CO3 activated binder was cheaper and greener. The cost and CO2 emission of binder B8Q5 were lower than OPC by around 34.16% and 87.76%, respectively. Besides, leaching tests showed that all the toxic metals were stabilized, which posed no environmental risk.

Abstract
Electrolytic manganese residue (EMR) has become a barrier to the sustainable development of the electrolytic metallic manganese (EMM) industry. EMR has a great potential to harm local ecosystems and human health, due to it contains high concentrations of soluble pollutant, especially NH4+ and Mn2+, and also the possible dam break risk because of its huge storage. There seems to be not a mature and stable industrial solution for EMR, though a lot of researches have been done in this area. Hence, by fully considering the EMM ecosystem, we analyzed the characteristics and eco-environmental impact of EMR, highlighted state-of-the-art technologies for EMR reduction, pretreatment, and reuse; indicated the factors that block EMR treatment and disposal; and proposed plausible and feasible suggestions to solve this problem. We hope that the results of this review could help solve the problem of EMR and thus promote the sustainable development of EMM industry.

Abstract
This research aimed to address the issue of residual manganese in electrolytic manganese residue (EMR), which is difficult to recycle and can easily become an environmental hazard and resource waste. This research developed a method for the efficient and selective recovery of manganese from EMR and the removal of ammonia nitrogen (ammonium sulfate) under the combined action of ball milling and oxalic acid. The optimum process parameters of this method were obtained through single-factor experiment and response-surface model. Results showed that the recovery rate of manganese can exceed 98%, the leaching rate of iron was much lower than 2%, and the leaching rates of manganese and ammonia nitrogen after EMR ball grinding were 1.01 and 13.65 mg/L, respectively. Kinetics and mechanism studies revealed that ammonium salts were primarily removed in the form of ammonia, and that insoluble manganese (MnO2) was recovered by the reduction of FeS and FeS2 in EMR under the action of oxalic acid. Iron was solidified in the form of Fe2O3 and Fe2(SiO3)3. The technology proposed in this research has great industrial application value for the recycling and harmless treatment of EMR.

Abstract
The MSWI fly ash (FA) is classified as hazardous waste and electrolytic manganese residue (EMR) as the harmful industrial waste. FA, water-washed FA (WFA), EMR and coal fly ash (CFA) were co-recycled to form lightweight MFCE ceramisites. The effects of FA, WFA and mixed MSWI fly ash on ceramisites were discussed. The approach to mixing FA and WFA increased the recycling amount of MSWI fly ash. The optimal mixture of 34.5% EMR, 24.1% CFA, 20.7% FA and 20.7% WFA sintered at 1160 °C for 12 min with a procedural heating rate (10 °C/min) and belonged to Class 800 artificial lightweight aggregate (GB/T 17431.1-2010); the quantity of MSWI fly ash in ceramisite was as high as 41.4%. Volatilization rates of Cd, Pb, Cu, Zn, Mn and Cr for ceramisite were higher 75.0, 24.2, 62.7, 133, 343 and 764% than FA respectively, attributed to the co-existence of chlorides and sulfates. The remained Zn, Cu, Pb, Mn and Cr were exchanged with Mg2+/Ca2+/Al3+ of diopside and wollastonite to form residual fractions. Our findings provided a feasibility method of co-recycling MSWI fly ash and electrolytic manganese residue to produce green lightweight aggregates.

Abstract
Electrolytic manganese residues (EMR) is produced from the electrolysis manganese industry. In this study, the thermal activated EMRs (T-EMR) were used to adsorb cadmium and lead from aqueous solution. X-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscope-Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (SEM-EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were adopted to characterize EMR before and after the modification, and the performance and adsorption mechanisms of T-EMR for cadmium and lead were determined. Results show that the pH has a strong influence on the adsorption of cadmium and lead and the maximum adsorption capacity can be achieved at pH 6. The adsorption of Cd(II) can be better fitted by the Lagergren pseudo-first-order dynamic model, while that of Pb(II) fits the pseudo-second-order kinetic model better. The Freundlich isotherm model fits the adsorption of two metals better than Langmuir model. The thermodynamic results demonstrate that the adsorption of Cd(II) or Pb(II) on T-EMR is endothermic and spontaneous. As the nitric acid with pH 0.5 was used, nearly all of the adsorbed Cd(II) and 75% Pb(II) can be desorbed from the loaded T-EMR. It is concluded that the adsorption of Cd(II) and Pb(II) on T-EMR is in virtue of electrostatic attraction, ion-exchange and surface precipitation. The heavy metals are mainly adsorbed on ferric and manganese oxides and silicate minerals in T-EMR by electrostatic attraction. In addition, cadmium and lead also can be adsorbed via the ion exchange reaction. Moreover, some Pb(II) are adsorbed by forming lead sulfate. Thus, T-EMR may be an environmentally-friendly, effective adsorbent for the removal of heavy metals from aqueous solution.

Abstract
Electrolytic manganese residue (EMR) is a solid waste remained in filters after using sulfuric acid to leaching manganese carbonate ore. EMR contains high concentration of soluble manganese (Mn2+) and ammonia nitrogen (NH4+-N), which seriously pollutes the environment. In this study, a low cost of phosphate based binder for Mn2+ and NH4+-N stabilization in EMR by low grade-MgO (LG-MgO) and superphosphate was studied. The effects of different types of stabilizing agent on the concentrations of NH4+-N and Mn2+, the pH of the EMR leaching solution, stabilizing mechanisms of NH4+-N and Mn2+, leaching test and economic analysis were investigated. The results shown that the pH of the EMR leaching solution was 8.07, and the concentration of Mn2+ was 1.58 mg/L, both of which met the integrated wastewater discharge standard (GB8978-1996), as well as the concentration of NH4+-N decreased from 523.46 mg/L to 32 mg/L, when 4.5 wt.% LG-MgO and 8 wt.% superphosphate dosage were simultaneously used for the stabilization of EMR for 50 d Mn2+ and NH4+-N were mainly stabilized by Mn3(PO4)2·2H2O, MnOOH, Mn3O4, Mn(H2PO4)2·2H2O and NH4MgPO4·6H2O. Economic evaluation revealed that the treatment cost of EMR was $ 11.89/t. This study provides a low-cost materials for NH4+-N and Mn2+ stabilization in EMR.
