In this paper, two fly ash samples from a popular of circulating fluidized bed (CFB) incinerators operated in spring and winter were detected. The organic pollutants of PAHs and Dioxins were 8.647 mg/kg and 778.859 pgI-TEQ/g respectively for the sample in spring, 11.008 mg/kg and 888.318 pgI-TEQ/g for the sample in winter. The distribution of Dioxins was analyzed, 2,3,4,7,8-PeCDF,2,3,7,8-TCDF and 2,3,7,8-TCDD were found to gave the great contribution to the total I-TEQ.

Recently, more and more attention has been paid to the removal of nickel ions due to their negative effects on the environment and human health. In this research, fly ash obtained as a result of incineration of municipal sewage sludge with the use of circulating fluidized bed combustion (CFBC) technology was used to analyze the possibility of removing Ni(II) ions in adsorption processes. The properties of the material were determined using analytical methods, such as SEM-EDS, XRD, BET, BJH, thermogravimetry, zeta potential, SEM, and FT-IR. Several factors were analyzed, such as adsorbent dose, initial pH, initial concentration, and contact time. As a result of the conducted research, the maximum sorption efficiency was obtained at the level of 99.9%. The kinetics analysis and isotherms showed that the pseudo-second order equation model and the Freundlich isotherm model best suited this process. In conclusion, sewage sludge fly ash may be a suitable material for the effective removal of nickel from wastewater and the improvement of water quality. This research is in line with current trends in the concepts of circular economy and sustainable development.

Circulating fluidized bed combustion (CFBC) fly ash is a promising admixture for construction and building materials due to its pozzolanic activity and self-cementitious property. In this study, CFBC fly ash and coal-fired fly ash were used in Portland cement to investigate the pozzolanic and cementitious characteristics of CFBC fly ash and the properties of cement-based composites. Tests show that CFBC fly ash has the potential instead of cementing materials and as an alternative of pozzolan. In fresh specimens, the initial setting time of mortars increases with the increasing amount of cement replacement by CFBC fly ash and coal-fire fly ash. In harden specimens, adding CFBC fly ash to replace OPC reduces the compressive strength. Meanwhile, CFBC fly ash would results in a higher length change when adding over 30%. Based on the results, the amount of CFBC fly ash replacement cement was recommended to be limited below 20%.
