This paper aims to present the characteristic of dewatered sewage sludge (SS) and red gypsum (RG) to determine their recycling potentials into a valuable product. The materials were characterized based on their physical-mechanical-chemical properties and morphology. The results showed that dewatered sewage sludge and red gypsum could complement each other when used together to form a new material the merits of which will be investigated in subsequent studies. RG has a better performance in term of plasticity and strength than SS due to fines content in the former and therefore its ability to retain moisture that contributes to cohesion between particles. Fine prisms and closer packing particles add strength in RG leading to higher resistance in compression. Unlike RG, SS has coarser particle and more voids causing it to lose the moisture content and becomes easily disintegrated. Chemical compositions of RG and SS as determined by XRF demonstrated a significant amount of CaO in the former and SiO2 in the latter; the formation of hydrated products in the form of CSH and CAH gel from hydration or pozzolanic reaction contributes to strength improvement of the SS.

AbstractWe report on the mineralogical and chemical properties of materials investigated by the lunar rover Yutu-2, which landed on the Von Kármán crater in the pre-Nectarian South Pole–Aitken (SPA) basin. Yutu-2 carried several scientific payloads, including the Visible and Near-infrared Imaging Spectrometer (VNIS), which is used for mineral identification, offering insights into lunar evolution. We used 86 valid VNIS data for 21 lunar days, with mineral abundance obtained using the Hapke radiative transfer model and sparse unmixing algorithm and chemical compositions empirically estimated. The mineralogical properties of the materials at the Chang’E-4 (CE-4) site referred to as norite/gabbro, based on findings of mineral abundance, indicate that they may be SPA impact melt components excavated by a surrounding impact crater. We find that CE-4 materials are dominated by plagioclase and pyroxene and feature little olivine, with 50 of 86 observations showing higher LCP than HCP in pyroxene. In view of the effects of space weathering, olivine content may be underestimated, with FeO and TiO2 content estimated using the maturity-corrected method. Estimates of chemical content are 7.42–18.82 wt% FeO and 1.48–2.1 wt% TiO2, with a low-medium Mg number (Mg # ~ 55). Olivine-rich materials are not present at the CE-4 landing site, based on the low-medium Mg #. Multi-origin materials at the CE-4 landing site were analyzed with regard to concentrations of FeO and TiO2 content, supporting our conclusion that the materials at CE-4 do not have a single source but rather are likely a mixture of SPA impact melt components excavated by surrounding impact crater and volcanic product ejecta.

This study was carried to investigate changes in the oil heat treated 18-years old of planted Acacia mangium. Harvested trees segregated into bottom, middle and top portions containing heartwood and sapwood were oil heat treated in stainless tank with palm crude oil as heating medium at temperatures of 180oC, 200oC and 220oC for 30, 60 and 90 minutes respectively. The evaluation of the changes in the wood were performed by standards using a Minolta Chroma Meter, TAPPI Standard T204 om-88, TAPPI Standard T203 cm-99, TAPPI Standard T222 cm-02, and BS EN 310:1993 static bending tests. The relationship between the changes in the colour, mechanical and chemical composition, were made using correlation analysis. The result showed oil-heat treatment reduced the lightness of the wood and darkened the both parts of the wood. The strength of the wood reduced slightly after the oil-heat treatment. In the chemical compositions, the percentages of the holocellulose, α-cellulose, hemicellulose and extractive contents decrease with the increase in treatment duration and temperature. The oil heat treatment process at 200°C for duration 60 minutes is recommended for acacia mangium wood as it improved the colour of Acacia mangium and standardized the colour of sapwood and heartwood. The loss in strength at this temperature and duration is acceptable as the treated wood only loss up to 15% strength in MOR and 10.7% in MOE.

Sewage sludge refers to a nutrient-rich by-product and organic matter from treatment plants and has become a challenge for many research segments to find a rational and sustainable destination for this material. In this context, the carbonization of biomass (by the pyrolysis process) results in biochar, characterized by a very stable material with specific physical and chemical properties and can represent a very important tool for this challenge. Thus, the objective of the present work was to transform, bypyrolysis process, small portions of the biosolid generated in Rancharia ETE into biochar. In addition, both the biosolid and the generated bicarbons were subjected to physical, chemical and structural analyzes in order to proceed with their respective characterization. From the analysis, it was found that the treatment submitted to temperature of 550°C as the best option for possible applications.Keywords:biosolid; pyrolysis; biochar.

Streszczenie Przedmiotem niniejszej pracy jest przedstawienie właściwości fizykochemicznych stałych pozo- stałości z termicznego przekształcania komunalnych osadów ściekowych w aspekcie wykorzystania ich w produkcji ceramiki czerwonej. Wykorzystanie tego rodzaju odpadów jest sposobem na ich zagospodarowanie, a ponadto może wpłynąć na redukcję kosztów produkcji cegieł, przy zachowaniu założonych parametrów użytkowych oraz walorów estetycznych. Określono skład chemiczny i mine- ralny stałych pozostałości, zawartość naturalnych izotopów promieniotwórczych, skład granulo- metryczny oraz wymywalność soli rozpuszczalnych, mogących stanowić potencjalne zagrożenie oraz powodować wady materiałowe. Kwarc stanowi główny składnik fazowy analizowanych materiałów, a jego zawartość dochodzi do 43% wag. Ilość ta z punktu widzenia właściwości ograniczających nadmierną plastyczność, powodującą odkształcenia materiału podczas procesu suszenia i wypalania, jest korzystna a popiół może być wykorzystany jako materiał schudzający, czyli substytut piasku. Jedną z najczęstszych wad materiałowych ceramiki budowlanej jest powstawanie wykwitów solnych podczas kontaktuz wilgocią. Wykwity te spowodowane są obecnością w surowcach rozpusz- czalnych w wodzie jonów siarczanowych, które podczas użytkowania wyrobów migrują w porach i krystalizują na powierzchni w postaci białych osadów. Popioły KN1 i LN1 charakteryzują się bardzo wysoką zawartością tych jonów, wynikającą z procesu oczyszczania spalin (stosowanie wodoro- węglanu sodu), mogą być poważnym utrudnieniem w technologii produkcji cegieł, wręcz wyklu- czającym ich stosowanie w tym kierunku. Popioły zawierają w swoim składzie metale, które potencjalnie mogą stanowić zagrożenie śro- dowiska, szczególnie wysoką koncentrację zaobserwowano w przypadku kationów miedzi i cynku. Badania wykazały, że tworzą one związki nierozpuszczalne, a ich wymywalność jest znacznie niższa niż wartości graniczne, a więc nic ma zagrożeń migracji szkodliwych kationów do gleby i wód gruntowych.

Sewage sludge was tested as component for producing glass-ceramics with the addition of analytic reagent CaO to solve the sewage sludge disposal problems. The effect of alkalinity (Ak=mCaO/mSiO2) on the characteristics of the glass-ceramics was investigated. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to investigate thermal behavior and crystalline phase of the samples. It was found that the degree and characteristics of crystals in vitrified sludge significantly correlate to the alkalinity of the raw materials. The glass-ceramics with Ak = 0.36 possessed the best physical and chemical properties.
