The sodium hydroxide calcination-hydrothermal treatment was used to modify the fly ash in this paper. The mount of alkali, the ratio of solid and liquid and the temperature of calcination were respectively studied in the process of modification. The best modified condition is that the ratio of sodium hydroxide and fly ash was 0.4:1, the ratio of solid and liquid was 1:1, and the temperature of calcination was 400°C. The zeolite-like structure was generated after modification. The modified fly ash in this paper was cheap and effective, providing a theoretical basis for wastewater treatment.

In a wastewater resulted from the dyes finishing industry there are amounts of dyes (very common Methyl Orange) and heavy metals resulted mainly from the organo-metallic dyes. Heavy metals (Cd2+ and Cu2+) advanced removal is usually proposed via adsorption and the use of modified fly ash as adsorbent represents a sustainable solution. The paper presents the results obtained in investigating the effect of methyl orange adsorbed onto the fly ash with modified surface, on the removal efficiency of cadmium and copper ionic species, considering the final application: a single step treatment process applied for wastewaters containing both heavy metals and dyes. The adsorption mechanisms are discussed based on the kinetic results and on the Langmuir model.

Conditioning of sludges improves dewatering characteristics and reduces the quantity of sludge to be handled. Anaerobic digested sludge collected from a sewage treatment plant contained 1.8% to 8% oil. The increase of specific resistance and capillary suction time (CST) with increasing oil content observed in these samples indicates the interference of oil in dewatering. It has been found that addition of municipal solid wastes incinerator fly ash decreases the specific resistances and capillary suction times of oily sludges rapidly up to 3% dosage. Beyond 3% fly ash, the decrease is less significant and the solids content in the sludge cake increases. This optimum dosage remains the same for sludges with varying oil contents from 1.8% to 12%. The total suspended solids of filtrate decreases with fly ash dosage but the toxic concentrations of heavy metals increases considerably. However at the optimum dosage of 3%, concentrations of heavy metals are within the limits for discharging into the sewers. The correlations of CST with the dewatering characteristics such as specific resistance, filter yield and corrected filter yield are established. These correlations can be used to obtain a quick prediction on dewaterability.
