Coal gasification slag (CGS) is rich in Li and Ga. However, few studies have focused on the extraction of Li and Ga from CGS. In the present study, the leaching of Li and Ga from CGS calcined with the alkali reagents including NaOH, KOH, Na 2 O 2 , Na 2 CO 3 and K 2 CO 3 were studied through water leaching and solid characterizations including XRD, TG-DSC and NMR. The best leaching percentages of Li and Ga from NaOH-, KOH-, Na 2 O 2 -, Na 2 CO 3 - and K 2 CO 3 -roasted products were 40.81% and 47.89%, 41.19% and 31.60%, 28.04% and 52.40%, 28.21% and 48.58%, and 34.29% and 38.61%, respectively, showing Li and Ga are difficult to be leached out. It has been proven that the formation of insoluble crystal substances (such as NaAlSiO 4 ) in alkali fusion products inhibits the leaching of Li and Ga. In addition, Li and Ga can be released from the insoluble crystal substances due to Na 2 SiO 3 in alkali fusion products can promote the dissolution of insoluble crystal substances into SiO 4 and AlO 4 species, which can improve the leaching of Li and Ga. However, part of the released Li and Ga are stabled in the structure of amorphous substances generated by SiO 4 and AlO 4 species in the form of isomorphism, reducing the leaching of Li and Ga. Thus, this work would provide guidance for the leaching of Li and Ga from CGS.

Chromium-bearing electroplating sludge (ES) is a typical hazardous waste that poses significant environmental risks due to the toxic and carcinogenic nature of chromium. In this study, Cr extraction is performed by roasting with Na2CO3 and water leaching from ES, and finally recovered by an on-line adsorption process by using an eco-friendly material. Under Na2CO3 roasting and water leaching, 82.1 % of Cr was leached out, with conditions of 800 ℃, Na2CO3 dosage amount at 30 %, and a residence time of 2 h for the roasting step, and solid-liquid ratio of 1:2 for the water leaching step. The results of the column adsorption tests indicated that FH/ SCB exhibited superior adsorption performances toward Cr (VI) with a maximum adsorption capacity of 20.5 mg/g, and its adsorption isotherm was matched with the Laugmuir model. About 97.4 % of Cr was recycled from the ES under the dynamic on-line adsorption process, furthermore, the total content of Cr in the final effluent was lower than wastewater discharge standards of 0.5 mg/L. In conclusion, this combined method presents an alternative approach for the eliminating, detoxifying, and reusing of chromium-bearing ES.

Every year, large amounts of selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalysts with losing catalytic activity and failing to be regenerated need to be regenerated, which will result in acute pollution. Recycling valuable metals from spent SCR catalysts can not only solve environmental problems, but also save resources. The process of sodium roasting and water leaching is able to effectively extract vanadium (V) and tungsten (W) from spent SCR catalysts. To improve the efficiencies of V and W, different sodium additives were first investigated in the roasting process. The results revealed that the process of NaCl-NaOH composite roasting and water leaching showed superior leaching efficiencies of V and W, which can reach 91.39% and 98.26%, respectively, and simultaneously, it can be found that adding low melting point NaOH promoted mass transfer as compared with the melting points of different sodium additives. Next, a single-factor experiment was conducted to investigate different roasting conditions, such as roasting temperature, roasting time, mass ratio of sodium additive and catalyst, and mass ratio of NaCl and NaOH, on the leaching efficiencies of V and W. Then, a three-level and four-factor orthogonal experiment and a weight matrix analysis were used to optimize the roasting parameters. The results showed that roasting temperature had the most significant effect on the leaching efficiencies of V and W, and the optimal roasting conditions were as follows: the roasting temperature was 750 °C, the roasting time was 2.5 h, the mass ratio of sodium additive and catalyst was 2.5, and the mass ratio of NaCl and NaOH was 1.5. Under the optimal roasting conditions, the leaching efficiencies of V and W were 93.25% and 99.17%, respectively. The results of XRD analysis inferred that VO2coming from the decomposition of VOSO4in spent SCR catalysts may first oxidize into V2O5and then react with sodium additives to produce NaVO3. The formation of titanium-vanadium oxide ((Ti0.5V0.5)2O3) was a part reason of hindering the leaching of vanadium. With the increase of roasting temperature, TiO2converted into Na2Ti3O7, which indicated that the main structure of the catalyst was destroyed, and simultaneously, more characteristic peaks of sodium metavanadate and sodium tungstate appeared, thus enhancing the leaching of V and W. Finally, it can be seen that the process of NaCl-NaOH roasting and water leaching remained higher leaching efficiencies of V and W and lower roasting temperature by comparing with leaching efficiencies of V and W in different processes of recycling SCR catalyst. The process of NaCl-NaOH composite roasting and water leaching provided a strategy with a highly efficient and clean route to leach V and W from spent SCR catalyst. The orthogonal experiment and weight matrix analysis in our study can be used as a reference to optimize the reaction conditions of a multiple indexes experiment.

The global boom in electric vehicles has led to an alarming accumulation of lithium-ion battery waste. Battery recycling technologies have primarily focused on cathode metal recovery, while the contaminated anode graphite has been severely neglected. Conventional graphite recovery methods require multiple acid washes or prolonged high-temperature treatment and consume large amounts of energy and chemicals. Here, we develop an ultra-fast carbon thermal shock and water leaching (CTSW) method, which can transiently realize the complete stripping of anode materials, enable 100% recovery of graphite and copper foil, and recover valuable lithium resources. Specifically, carbon thermal shock (CTS) introducing auxiliary media (CaCO3, Al2O3, etc.) promotes lithium aggregation from the interior to the surface of graphite, converts insoluble LiF to Li2CO3, achieves deep leaching of >99.5% lithium, and immobilizes the hazardous byproduct, HF, to metal fluoride. Compared to conventional hydrometallurgy, LCA analysis shows that our CTSW method has a significantly lower environmental impact, energy, and cost.

This work proposes the roasting of amblygonite with calcium sulfate followed by water leaching to extract lithium and phosphorus. Various roasting parameters including roasting temperature, the mass ratio CaSO 4 /ore, roasting time as well as leaching parameters, such as the liquid/solid ratio, temperature and time, have been carefully investigated. The lithium extraction efficiency can be as high as 99.8% with a mass ratio of CaSO 4 /ore of 0.85 after roasting at 775 °C for 1 h and water leaching at a liquid/solid ratio of 3 mL/g at 100 °C for 2 h. The XRD analysis demonstrates that the fluoride in the amblygonite can be converted into Ca 5 (PO 4 ) 3 F and CaF 2 . Lithium in the leach liquor can be recovered as Li 2 CO 3 . Meanwhile, the phosphorus in the water leach residue can be recovered as FePO 4 with a high recovery of 96.6% after acid dissolution and precipitation, which can be further treated to produce LiFePO 4 .

An effective and environment-friendly method for preparing NaVO 2 , which can be used as an energy storage material, from Na 2 CO 3 roasted vanadium-chromium slag was proposed using water as the leaching medium. Vanadium-chromium slag with 30 % Na 2 CO 3 was heated in air and argon atmospheres from 30 °C to 1000 °C, respectively. The results show that vanadium compounds converted to NaVO 3 while chromium compounds to Na 2 CrO 4 under air. NaVO 3 and Na 2 CrO 4 were water-soluble making the separation of vanadium and chromium complicated. NaVO 3 and Na 2 CrO 4 were water-soluble making the separation of vanadium and chromium complicated. Heating vanadium-chromium slag in an argon atmosphere caused Fe 2 VO 4 to react with Na 2 CO 3 , forming NaVO 2 and NaFeO 2 below 1000 °C. However, chromium compounds unreacted in argon. NaFeO 2 was insoluble, while NaVO 2 was water-soluble with a leaching efficiency exceeding 70 %. Notably, the characteristic peak of V(III) in NaVO 2 was first found to be −532.00 ppm by the liquid 51 V NMR spectrum. This method represents a novel, green strategy for the resource utilization of vanadium-chromium slag, involving Na 2 CO 3 roasting in an argon atmosphere to produce NaVO 2 . It offers a promising approach to reduce the cost of NaVO 2 battery production and support its commercialization.

The continuous development of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) manufacturing industry calls for the mass production of Li 2 CO 3 , which serves as a pivotal raw material for LIBs. In our previous study, Li was successfully precipitated as intermediate product Li 2 SiO 3 from an alkaline solution containing Si by the hydrothermal precipitation method, realizing the preliminary separation of Li and impurities. In this research, H 2 SO 4 digestion-water leaching-Na 2 CO 3 precipitation process was proposed to manufacture Li 2 CO 3 from the intermediate product Li 2 SiO 3 . Firstly, the reaction feasibility of H 2 SO 4 digestion-water leaching and direct H 2 SO 4 leaching for Li 2 SiO 3 were comparatively evaluated through thermodynamic calculation and experimental research. Compared to direct H 2 SO 4 leaching, H 2 SO 4 digestion-water leaching process is preferred in view of its excellent filtration properties. Subsequently, systematic digestion and leaching experiments showed that up to 97.1 % of Li was extracted under the optimized conditions, and the concentration of Li in the leach liquor is as high as 29.33 g/L. After pH adjustment and Al removal, Na 2 CO 3 precipitation were adopted for Li 2 CO 3 production. The equilibrium relationship in Li 2 SO 4 -Na 2 CO 3 -H 2 O system was analyzed to predict the precipitation behavior of Li and select appropriate operation window for Li 2 CO 3 preparation. Finally, with an additional carbonation-decomposition process, a Li 2 CO 3 product with a purity of 99.51 % is produced. This process realizes efficient synthesis of battery-grade Li 2 CO 3 from the intermediate product Li 2 SiO 3 .

Anti-biofouling technology is based on specifically designed materials and coatings. This is an enduring goal in the maritime industries, such as shipping, offshore oil exploration, and aquaculture. Recently, research of the relationship between wettability and antifouling effectiveness has attracted considerable attention, due to the anti-biofouling properties of the lotus leaf and shark skin. In this study, super-hydrophobic surfaces (SHSs) with controllable periodic structures were fabricated on AISI304 stainless steel by a picosecond laser, and their anti-biofouling performance were investigated by seawater immersion for five weeks in summertime. The results showed that the specimens with SHS demonstrate significant anti-biofouling effect as compared with the bare stainless steel plate. We observed that nearly 50% decrease of the average microbe attachment area ratio (Avg. MAAR) could be obtained. The micro-groove SHS with more abundant hierarchical micro-nano structures showed better anti-biofouling performance than the micro-pit SHS.

The effective and low-temperature extraction of lithium from the pyrometallurgical slag of spent lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) remains a great challenge. Herein, potassium carbonate/sodium carbonate (K 2 CO 3 /Na 2 CO 3 ), which could form a eutectic molten salt system at 720°C, was used as a roasting agent to extract lithium from pyrometallurgical slag. Lithium was successfully extracted from the slag by K 2 CO 3 /Na 2 CO 3 roasting followed by water leaching. Theoretical calculation results indicate that the lengths of Li-O bonds increase after K + /Na + adsorption, resulting in the easy release of Li + from the LiAlSi 2 O 6 lattice after roasting with K 2 CO 3 /Na 2 CO 3 . Thermogravimetry—differential scanning calorimetry results indicate that the eutectic phenomenon of K 2 CO 3 and Na 2 CO 3 could be observed at 720°C and that the reaction of the slag and eutectic molten salts occurs at temperatures above 720°C. X-ray diffraction results suggest that Li + in the slag is exchanged by K + in K 2 CO 3 with the concurrent formation of KAlSiO 4 , while Na 2 CO 3 mainly functions as a fluxing agent. The lithium extraction efficiency can reach 93.87% under the optimal conditions of a roasting temperature of 740°C, roasting time of 30 min, leaching temperature of 50°C, leaching time of 40 min, and water/roasted sample mass ratio of 10:1. This work provides a new system for extracting lithium from the pyrometallurgical slag of spent LIBs.

Ensuring the preservation of fragile artifacts from waterlogged archaeological sites demands the advancement of extraction techniques that uphold both safety and the integrity of historical data. Conventionally employed extraction materials are predominantly applicable to sites exhibiting high soil stability and low moisture content, whereas the recovery of artifacts from waterlogged contexts remains technically challenging. This study explores low-acyl gellan gum as a temporary solidification material for waterlogged archaeological relics, enhancing its efficacy through ionic cross-linking methodologies. The results show that by meticulously regulating the species and concentration of cations—specifically Na + , Mg 2+ , Ca 2+ , or Al 3+ — an improvement in gelling strength can be attained within an optimum range. The gel strength improved with the increase of ion valence, but adding Al 3+ results in local gel aggregation. By adding 3.0 wt% of CaCl 2 , low-acyl gellan gum can form a transparent, stable gel with a compressive strength amplified to 0.11 MPa. In addition, the temporary consolidation and extraction experiment under laboratory conditions shows that Ca 2+ cross-linked gellan gum can effectively carry out temporary solidification and safe extraction of multiple artifacts at waterlogged archaeological sites. This innovation presents a simplified yet potent strategy for excavating fragile artifacts.

Developing superstrong adhesives that can be detached via an environmental friendly trigger under mild operation conditions is highly desirable in industry and it can significantly contribute to sustainability. This work provides a novel design of particular eutectogel adhesives based on poly(acrylic acid)-deep eutectic solvent (PAA-DES). The synthesized adhesives can bond strongly with versatile substrates and be readily detached via simple water soaking. The eutectogel adhesive establishes strong adhesion interactions with the surface of adherends through abundant hydrogen bonds and ion-substrate interactions, with an ultrastrong adhesion strength reaching as high as 12.50 MPa on the glass substrate. The adherends could be easily released by water soaking for several minutes with no damage to the system. Such a novel approach for developing detachable adhesives is believed to have high potential in commercialization that requires temporal joining and assembly processes, including optical lens drilling and wafer dicing.

The influence of water immersion and silane treatment on the AC breakdown and the complex dielectric response of polypropylene/nano-aluminium nitride (PP/nano-AlN) composites has been investigated. The as-received filler was examined to have a nanoscale particle distribution with a hexagonal shape and slight hydrolysation. Grafting the aluminium nitride with an octyl silane reduces the weight increase in samples filled with 10 wt% of aluminium nitride during water immersion by 3, from 0.29 to 0.09%. The results suggest that the AC breakdown strength and complex permittivity of “wet” composite samples are related to the silane treatment of the nanofiller. The AC breakdown strength of octyl silane-treated samples after 9 days of water immersion shows comparable results to the dry samples, while a reduction can be seen on non-treated samples. Although silane-treated samples still show an increased dielectric loss at low frequency after water immersion, a significant reduction in low-frequency dispersion of real and imaginary permittivity can be seen when compared to the non-treated composites. This indicates that significant gains can be obtained for PP/nano-AlN composites by suitable silane treatments.
