Cement is the most widely used construction material in the world. However, its manufacture is high energy consumption and high carbon emission owing to the high temperature calcination process. Geopolymer is an ideal alternative material for cement because it has a similar structure and performance to cement. In addition, it can be synthesized at room temperature and thus has the advantages of energy saving and carbon emission reduction. Sewage sludge (SS) can be used as raw material for geopolymer synthesis. However, the high organic matter content in SS lowers the mechanical strength of geopolymer. Although the organic matter in SS can be removed by incineration at high temperature, this consumes energy and emits carbon dioxide, which diminishes the advantages of geopolymer. In this study, the Fenton method was applied for the removal of organic matter in SS at room temperature. The parameters of the Fenton method, including the dosages of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and Fe2+ reagent (FeSO4·7H2O), reaction time, and initial pH value, were investigated. The results indicated that 83.7% of the organic matter in SS could be removed at room temperature by using 5.15 M H2O2 and 5.15 mM FeSO4·7H2O at pH 7, which suggested the possibility of sewage sludge reclamation through geopolymer synthesis as an alternative material for cement toward sustainability.

AbstractA long-standing unresolved puzzle related to the Danish temperate humid climate is the presence of extended areas with large Fe contents, where goethite and ferrihydrite are present in the topsoil along with hematite and maghemite. Hematite and, particularly, maghemite would normally be interpreted as the result of high temperature as found after forest fires. However, a body of evidence argues against these sites having been exposed to fire. In an attempt to get closer to an explanation of this Fe mineralogy, an experimental forest fire was produced. The results showed a clear mineralogical zonation down to 10 cm depth. This was not observed at the natural sites, which contained a mixture of goethite/ferrihydrite, hematite and maghemite down to 20 cm depth. The experimental forest fire left charcoal and ashes at the topsoil, produced high pH and decreased organic matter content, all of which is in contrast to the natural sites. The conclusion from this work is that the mineralogy of these sites is not consistent with exposure to forest fire, but may instead result from long-term transformation in a reducing environment, possibly involving microbiology.

Distribution of organic matter and effect of wetland types and pH on organic matter were studied in sediment of lakeside belt in east Dongting Lake according to taking 56 samples from surface to 20cm and 52 samples from 20cm to 40cm. The results showed that the average content of organic matter was 15.40g/kg from surface to 20cm and 12.02g/kg from 20cm to 40cm in sediment of lakeside belt in east Dongting Lake. Spatial distribution of organic matter could be expressed as middle variation. Wetland types were classed into silt beach, lake marsh beach and reed beach in Dongting Lake region and influenced distribution of organic matter because of difference variance on hydraulic dynamics condition and retarding effect of vegetation on water flow velocity. Order of organic matter content in sediment was the lake marsh beach > reed beach > silt beach in 0-20cm and 20-40cm layers in lakeside belt in east Dongting Lake. Organic matter contents decreased in turn from 0-20cm to 20-40cm in lake marsh and reed beaches and increased in silt beaches. Values of pH in sediment were slightly alkaline in whole studied region. Negative correlation was established between organic matter content and pH value. The results will provide base data and science reference for controlling and recovery of sediment pollution in east Dongting Lake.

Ukraine is well-known in the world as a country with soil rich for humus. Approximately 68% of arable soils in Ukraine have been classificated as chernozem. For last decades decrease of organic matter content in soils of various agri-climatic zones has been surveyed in the country. The main reason of the mentioned process is enormous lack of organic fertilizer (manure) in agriculture connected with decrease in livestock (in 3 times since year 1992). Besides there is expansion of technical crops for biofuel production (like Brassica napus, Helianthus annuus), which are the provocateurs of soils exhaustion. At the same time such important source of organic matter for application in agriculture as sewage sludge (SS) from wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) is not used in Ukraine nowadays. To stop arable soils degradation in regions it is necessary to develop up-to-date management for fertilizer production on WWTPs. The base for the process has to be the acceptance of the goal-oriented National programme, corresponding governmental decrees and implementation of national standard for using sewage sludge as fertilizer.

Extraction Technology

[Objectiv The aim is to study the extraction technology of melanin from banana peel, and discuss its stability. [Metho We used banana peel as raw material, the absorbance at 410 nm as the index, extracted melanin by base-acid method, and optimized the extraction technology by the single factor and orthogonal test. Then we discussed the melanins stability at different temperature, light source, pH value, metal ions, antioxidant and reducing agents.[Result The best extraction conditions of melanin is that, hydrochloric acid soak time 5 h, alkaline solution pH value 14, extracting time 20 min, extraction temperature 70 °C, absorbance value about 0.309 A. Melanin from banana peel is stable at high temperature, different light source irradiation, reducing agent coexist; but at room temperature, metal ions and oxidizing agent coexist, it is unstable. [Conclusio This study provided experimental basis for the optimization and development of melanin from banana peel.

Rate Performance

<p>Owing to its low cost, thermal stability and theoretically high capacity, Li<sub>2</sub>FeSiO<sub>4 </sub>has been a promising cathode material for high-energy-density Li-ion (Li<sup>+</sup>) battery system. However, its poor rate performance and high voltage polarisation attributed to innately slow Li<sup>+</sup> kinetics at room temperature, has fundamentally curbed its ascent into prominence. Here, the rate performance of Li<sub>2</sub>FeSiO<sub>4</sub> at high temperatures in electrolyte comprising molten salt (ionic liquid) was investigated. Subsequently, a comparison of the phase transition behaviour observed at both high-temperature and room-temperature cycling was elucidated. Our results show that remarkable rate performance with good cyclability in conjunction with low voltage polarisation is attained upon cycling of Li<sub>2</sub>FeSiO<sub>4</sub> at high temperatures, due to the faster phase transformation from unstable monoclinic structures to thermodynamically stable orthorhombic structures triggered by elevated temperature. What this study adds to the burgeoning body of research work relating to the silicates is that the initially slow phase transformation behaviour observed at room temperature can significantly be enhanced upon cycling at elevated temperatures.</p>

The SiC/FexSiycomposites were synthesized by reaction sintering process with iron tailings as raw material and carbon as reductant. The room and high temperature flexural strengths and fracture toughness of composites were studied in this paper. Fracture surfaces were observed by means of a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results showed that the room temperature flexural strength of SiC/FexSiycomposites changed along with the different contents of FexSiyand sintering temperature. The flexural strength of composites reaches the maximum at 900°C. The correlation between flexural strength and temperature is consistent with curveⅠ.The fracture toughness of composites is related to the content of FexSiy. The fracture behavior of composites is mainly transcrystalline in room temperature and intercrystalline in high temperature.
