Summary: Municipal solid waste incineration fly ash (MSWI FA) contains hazardous heavy metals and soluble salts. This research investigated the use of electrodialytic treatment as a pre-treatment for MSWI FA, and its impact on metakaolin-based geopolymer as an encapsulation matrix. The results showed that geopolymer effectively encapsulated heavy metals, and electrodialytic pre-treatment improved the environmental and mechanical characteristics of the geopolymer.

Summary: In this study, correlations between heavy metal content, particle size, speciation distribution, and water leaching in fly ash from municipal solid waste incineration were investigated. The results showed that heavy metal leaching is strongly related to speciation distribution and surface complexation on Al/Fe (hydr)oxide. The study also suggests that differences in speciation distribution, rather than heavy metal content or particle size, govern leaching potential in MSWI-FA.

Summary: This study aims to confirm the feasibility of waste incineration fly ash in asphalt pavement materials. The experimental analysis showed that waste incineration fly ash had a positive impact on the physical properties and rheological properties of asphalt binder, but it decreased the low-temperature crack resistance. Moreover, adding waste incineration fly ash as a filler in asphalt mortar improved its high-temperature rutting resistance and adhesion to asphalt. Additionally, the asphalt binder provided a good shielding effect against the migration of toxic elements in the fly ash.

Summary: Every year, a large amount of water is polluted by various sources, with coal fly ash (CFA) being a major pollutant. CFA contains toxic metals that contaminate water bodies through contact with water or rain. Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs), recovered from waste like CFA, show promise for wastewater treatment due to their low cost, recyclable nature, and magnetic property. The synthesis of IONPs from CFA involves three steps: extraction of ferrous materials, acidic treatment, and precipitation of iron oxides. The synthesized IONPs have a particle size of 30-70 nm and a purity of 90-93%. They can efficiently remove heavy metals from wastewater, particularly Pb and Cr ions from CFA solutions, with removal efficiency ranging from 40-70%.

Summary: The study investigated a potentially new method of PRB-enhanced EKR using an approaching anode (A-EKR + PRB) to help H+ ions migrate quickly to the sample near the cathode. The results showed that the best remediation ability was achieved by treating MSWI fly ash for 16 days at a voltage gradient of 2.5 V/cm, moving the approaching anode after 4 days, and using a PRB containing 10 g of activated carbon. The A-EKR + PRB method reduced HM leaching and total concentrations, while also decreasing environmental risks associated with the remaining HMs.

Summary: This study investigated the electrochemical oxidation (EO) technology as an alternative tertiary treatment in wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) to remove contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) and Escherichia coli simultaneously. The results showed that the removal rate of CECs depended on their structure and physicochemical characteristics, as well as the electrode material and shape used. MMO with a higher surface area and circular-mesh electrode exhibited the highest removal efficiency for recalcitrant CECs (20-50%). Varying the current intensity had a minor effect on CECs removal. The overall removal efficiency of CECs exceeded 90% within 2 hours, with simultaneous removal of E. coli. The EO process was considered ecofriendly with a low estimated treatment cost of 1.1 euro/m3.

Summary: This work reviews recently developed methodologies for multiclass pesticide residue analysis in soil and evaluates them with respect to Green Analytical Chemistry principles, cost, and time. The analysis highlights different extraction, clean-up, and determination techniques used in the field. QuEChERS was found to be the most commonly used extraction method, although other methods such as pressurized fluid extraction, ultrasound-assisted extraction, and simple solid-liquid partitioning are still widely employed. GC-MS and LC-MS are the standard analytical techniques, with LC-MS becoming more popular due to its versatility in analyzing poorly volatile pesticide residues. The study compared twelve representative methods using analytical eco-scale, AGREE metrics, as well as cost and time considerations. The results show that the choice of reagents and operational parameters has a greater impact on the greenness of a method than the extraction and determination techniques, while cost and time are more dependent on the techniques themselves.

Summary: A new design for the two-compartment electrodialytic extraction (2C-ED) process has been developed for the simultaneous extraction of phosphorous and separation of heavy metals from sewage sludge ash (SSA). The new reactor design allows for the suspension of SSA at a low liquid-to-solid (L:S) ratio without settling, resulting in a more efficient use of the applied current compared to previous laboratory setups. This new design shows potential for scaling up the 2C-ED process.

Summary: LiNixCoyMn1-x-yO2 (NCM) is a critical cathode material for lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles. The aging of cathode/electrolyte interfaces leads to capacity degradation and long-term cycle instability. A novel neural network model called ACGNet is developed to predict electrochemical stability windows of crystals, allowing for high-throughput screening of coating materials. LiPO3 is identified as a promising coating material with high oxidation voltage and low cost, which significantly improves the cycle stability of NCM batteries. This study demonstrates the accuracy and potential of machine learning in battery materials.
