It is the first time to determine whether gallium in fly ash was dissolved out with aluminum and study how to separate gallium from aluminum and recover it, tracking and analyzing the gallium in the digested mother liquor from a power plant fly ash extracting Al2O3 by soda-lime sintering process. Carbon dioxide decomposition was performed to the digested mother liquor, exploring the influences on separation of gallium from aluminum from carbon dioxide decomposition time, flow rate, and carbon dioxide decomposition temperature. The results show that when feeding CO2 into the solution, aluminum was firstly dissolved out as the form of Al(OH)3 and then gallium. When carbon dioxide decomposition time, flow velocity and carbon dioxide decomposition temperature were 30min, 100mL/(min • L) and 40°C, respectively, the ratio of aluminum to gallium was from 1028 down to 200. Under this condition, most of aluminum was dissolved out from the solution but gallium was still in it, thus successfully separating gallium from aluminum and leading to a better condition of subsequent process of extracting gallium.

It is the first time to remove sodium from the fly ash red mud by soda-lime sintering process to determine whether the fly ash red mud can be used in cement production. This paper studies the effects of the reaction time, the reaction temperature, the ratio of liquid to solid, and the amount of sodium removal agent on the removal of milk of lime method of fly ash red mud in sodium. The optimal reaction conditions are that: the reaction time is 120min, the reaction temperature is 90°C, the ratio of liquid to solid ratio is 6:1, and the ratio of sodium removal agent Ca (OH) 2 to the red mud of Na2O use ratio is 9:1. Under this condition, the sodium removal rate (Na2O, the same below) to 57.2%, the total sodium content in fly ash red mud decreases from 4.7% to 1.8% after sodium removal, achieving the expected goal.

The influence of fly ash adittion (90 % fraction [ 100 mm) on the cement mortar characteristics was studied. The XRD, XRF, SEM and FTIR determinations indicated that fly ash used has a hollow microstructure of microsphere and cenosphere whose total content in SiO2, Al2O3 and Fe2O3 is 88.63 % and that of CaO and MgO of 8.55 %. The mechanical, thermal and dielectric determinations made on mortar samples with content of fly ash in the 0-40 % range have highlighted fact that the mechanical strength of cement mortars is maximal at 20 %, the increase in fly ash content leads to a decrease in relative density and thermal conductivity as well as and to increased dielectric losses tgd.

Given the amount of industrial waste produced and collected in the world today, a recycling and recovery process is needed. The study carried out on this subject focuses on the valorization of one of these industrial wastes, namely the fly ash produced by an ultra-supercritical coal power plant. This paper describes the use and recovery of fly ash as a high percentage reinforcement for the development of a new high-performance composite material for use in various fields. The raw material, fly ash, comes from the staged combustion of coal, which occurs in the furnace of an ultra-supercritical boiler of a coal-fired power plant. Mechanical compression, thermal conductivity, and erosion tests are used to study the mechanical, thermal, and erosion behavior of this new composite material. The mineralogical and textural analyses of samples were characterized using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). SEM confirmed the formation of a new composite by a polymerization reaction. The results obtained are very remarkable, with a high Young’s modulus and a criterion of insulation, which approves the presence of a potential to be exploited in the different fields of materials. In conclusion, the composite material presented in this study has great potential for building material and could represent interesting candidates for the smart city.

AbstractOwing to its simple preparation and high oxygen content, nitroformate [−C(NO2)3, NF] is an extremely attractive oxidant component for propellants and explosives. However, the poor thermostability of NF-based derivatives has been an unconquerable barrier for more than 150 years, thus hindering its application. In this study, the first example of a nitrogen-rich hydrogen-bonded organic framework (HOF-NF) is designed and constructed through self-assembly in energetic materials, in which NF anions are trapped in pores of the resulting framework via the dual force of ionic and hydrogen bonds from the strengthened framework. These factors lead to the decomposition temperature of the resulting HOF-NF moiety being 200 °C, which exceeds the challenge of thermal stability over 180 °C for the first time among NF-based compounds. A large number of NF-based compounds with high stabilities and excellent properties can be designed and synthesized on the basis of this work.

Absorbents used in closed and semi-closed circuit environments play a key role in preventing carbon dioxide poisoning. Here we present an analysis of one of the most common carbon dioxide absorbents—soda lime. In the first step, we analyzed the composition of fresh and used samples. For this purpose, volumetric and photometric analyses were introduced. Thermal properties and decomposition patterns were also studied using thermogravimetric and X-ray powder diffraction (PXRD) analyses. We also investigated the kinetics of carbon dioxide absorption under conditions imitating a closed-circuit environment.
