Steel metallurgical dust, characterized by a substantial output, minute particle size, and intricate composition, poses a considerable risk of environmental contamination while simultaneously embodying an exceptionally high potential for recycling. To achieve its resource utilization, chemical analysis, particle size analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Mössbauer spectroscopy, and water leaching methods were employed to investigate the chemical compositions, particle size distributions, phase compositions, and microscopic morphologies of blast furnace bag dust, sintering dust, converter fine dust, and electric arc furnace dust from steel plants. The results indicate that the four types of dust have extremely fine particle sizes, with the main distribution range of particle size being less than 100 μm. The main constituent element is Fe (19–56%), and it also contains Zn (1.4–33.5%), Pb, K, C, and other valuable elements. Alkali metals in blast furnace bag dust and sintering machine head dust existed mainly in the form of chloride. The zinc phases in sintering machine head dust and converter fine dust were ZnFe2O4, and the zinc phases in blast furnace bag dust were ZnCl2and ZnFe2O4. Zinc in electric furnace dust was composed of ZnO and ZnFe2O4, accounting for 70.31% and 23.12%, respectively. There are significant differences in the types and contents of valuable elements among various dusts, making it difficult to achieve full-scale recovery through a single process. In view of this, a process of “in-plant recycling of harmless dusts—collaborative treatment of harmful dusts” has been proposed. Based on the characteristics of metallurgical dusts, multiple processes are used for collaborative treatment (using hydrometallurgical and pyrometallurgical methods), which can not only directly recover iron resources from dusts within the plant, but also avoid the waste of valuable elements such as Zn, Pb, K, Na, etc. It is hoped that the above work can provide a reference for steel enterprises to achieve full-scale and high value-added treatment of metallurgical dusts.

High salinity organic wastewater is commonly treated by evaporation, which produces a large amount of waste salts and condensed water containing organic compounds. The waste salts are typical classified as hazardous waste and the condensed water often requires advanced oxidation treatment before it can be biochemically treated. In this study, a synergistic treatment process combining evaporation with thermal activation of peroxodisulfate (PDS) was developed for the treatment of wastewater containing tetrabromobisphenol S (TBBPS) and Na 2 SO 4 to reduce the content of organics in the crystal salt and condensed water. Compared with evaporation alone, the synergistic treatment process allows the complete removal of TBBPS from the crystal salt with an increase of TOC removal from 4.48 % to 94.44 %. Meanwhile, in the condensed water, TBBPS can also be completely removed with a decrease of the average TOC content from 25.56 mg/L to 4.97 mg/L. EPR detection reveals that the dominant reactive species are •OH, SO 4 - •, and 1 O 2 . Moreover, the presence of SO 4 2- can enhance the conversion of •OH to SO 4 - •, thereby improving the utilization of reactive species by increasing the contribution of SO 4 - •. The degradation intermediates of TBBPS were detected by IC and LC-MS, based on which the possible degradation mechanism of TBBPS was proposed. The synergistic treatment process can not only promote the resource utilization of waste salt and reduce the difficulty of condensed water treatment but also improve the stability of the evaporation system.

This study evaluated a synergetic waste activated sludge treatment strategy with environmentally friendly zero-valent iron nanoparticles (Fe 0 ) and peroxysulfate. To verify the feasibility of the synergistic treatment, Fe 0 , peroxysulfate, and the mixture of peroxysulfate and Fe 0 (synergy treatment) were added to different sludge fermentation systems. The study demonstrated that the synergy treatment fermentation system displayed remarkable hydrolysis performance with 435.50 mg COD/L of protein and 197.67 mg COD/L of polysaccharide , which increased 1.13–2.85 times (protein) and 1.12–1.49 times (polysaccharide) for other three fermentation system. Additionally, the synergy treatment fermentation system (754.52 mg COD/L) exhibited a well acidification performance which was 1.35–41.73 times for other systems (18.08–557.27 mg COD/L). The synergy treatment fermentation system had a facilitating effect on the activity of protease, dehydrogenase, and alkaline phosphatase, which guaranteed the transformation of organic matter. Results also indicated that Comamonas , Soehngenia , Pseudomonas , and Fusibacter were enriched in synergy treatment, which was beneficial to produce SCFAs. The activation of Fe 0 on peroxysulfate promoting electron transfer, improving the active groups, and increasing the enrichment of functional microorganisms showed the advanced nature of synergy treatment. These results proved the feasibility of synergy treatment with Fe 0 and peroxysulfate to enhance waste activated sludge anaerobic fermentation.

Municipal solid waste incineration fly ash (MSWI-FA) is globally defined as hazardous waste and needs stabilization treatment. In this paper, synergistic treatment by geopolymerization and chemical stabilizers for the heavy metals in MSWI-FA was proposed, and its mechanism was further investigated. The leaching test showed that the concentration of Cu, Cr, Cd, Ni, Zn and Pb could meet the requirement of disposal standard, with more than 99.8% been effectively stabilized while Cr and Ni were below the quantification limits. The MSWI-FA was activated in geological polymerization process and produced Al/Si-based hydration products , while the chemical stabilizers formed chelates with heavy metals, yielding double effects on the geopolymerization. Therefore, with the co-effectiveness of the two processes, most of the heavy metals were firmly stabilized in the compound structure. The developed geopolymerization procedure had potential applications for treating heavy metals in MSWI-FA.

Oily sludge not only seriously pollutes the ecological environment, but also endangers human health. Additionally, the complex properties pose significant challenges in its treatment. The single technology has limited capacity and poor treatment effect. Consequently, the combined technology is being developed due to the exceptional treatment effect. Herein, a new combined technology was proposed to treat oily sludge, which combined high-speed stirring cleaning with thermal-activated Na 2 S 2 O 8 oxidation. The bulk of petroleum pollutants were efficiently removed by high-speed stirring cleaning firstly, and the residual petroleum pollutants were decomposed by thermal-activated Na 2 S 2 O 8 . After treatment, the oil content of the oily sludge decreased from 13.81 % to 0.47 % with the removal rate of 96.6 % under the optimal conditions, which had reached the discharge and reuse standards. The high-speed stirring had remarkable removal effect on saturated hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons and resins. In addition to the three components mentioned above, thermal-activated Na 2 S 2 O 8 also had excellent removal effect on asphaltenes in the cleaned oily sludge based on the strong oxidation effect of SO 4 − · and OH·. This work demonstrates a new method to treat oily sludge efficiently, which not only reduces the burden of petrochemical industries and provides support for their green development, but also has important scientific significance for environmental protection and environmental management.

The biotrickling filter (BTF) treatment is an effective way of dealing with air pollution caused by volatile organic compounds (VOCs). However, this approach is typically used for single VOCs treatment but not for the mixtures of VOC and volatile organic sulfur compounds (VOSCs), even if they are often encountered in industrial applications. Therefore, we investigated the performance of BTF for single and ternary mixture gas of dimethyl sulfide (DMS), propanethiol, and toluene, respectively. Results showed that the co-treatment enhanced the removal efficiency of toluene, but not of dimethyl sulfide or propanethiol. Maximum removal rates (rmax) of DMS, propanethiol and toluene were calculated to be 256.41 g·m−3·h−1, 204.08 g·m−3·h−1and 90.91 g·m−3·h−1, respectively. For a gas mixture of these three constituents,rmaxwas measured to be 114.94 g·m−3·h−1, 104.17 g·m−3·h−1and 99.01 g·m−3·h−1, separately. Illumina MiSeq sequencing analysis further indicated that Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes were the major bacterial groups in BTF packing materials. A shift of bacterial community structure was observed during the biodegradation process.Keywords:biotrickling filter;decomposition;dimethyl sulfide;pollution;propanethiol;toluene

The effects of cellulase–xylanase synergistic treatment combined with twin-screw extrusion on the physicochemical, functional, and in vitro fermentation characteristics of buckwheat bran dietary fiber (BBDF) were investigated. Compared to single enzymatic hydrolysis, the synergetic modification was more effective in promoting the soluble DF (SDF) ratio (increased from 10.68% to 32.67%), functional properties, and prebiotic activities of BBDF and decreasing the insoluble DF (IDF) content. Under 0.6% (w/w) cellulase and xylanase with mild extrusion conditions (40–80 °C), the modified BBDF exhibited the highest capacities for glucose and cholesterol adsorption. FTIR and XRD experiments indicated that the enzymatic extrusion destroyed the intermolecular interactions of BBDF. Furthermore, enzymatically extruded BBDFs showed 2.2-fold higher short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) yields during in vitro fecal fermentation (total SCFAs: 87.8 mM vs. 40.0 mM in control), with butyrate production reaching 2.5 mM (+76.3%), among which the mildly extruded BBDFs exhibited superior prebiotic effects.
