The rapid economic development in China places a large demand for energy, and as a
result, thermal power plants in China are producing an enormous amount of coal fly ash …

Improper disposal of huge quantities of fly ash generated by thermal power plants and few
other industries contributes to both air and water pollution, and therefore, recent …

In this study, humic acid-iron-columnar bentonite (HA-Fe-PILC) obtained after HA adsorption
on Fe-PILC was characterized by SEM, BET, XRD, zeta potential, FTIR, and XPS and reused …

The use of biomass for energy production is becoming increasingly common. However, one
of the significant problems when using biomass is the ash produced in the incineration …

The iron-pillared bentonite (Fe-Ben) was prepared by ion-exchange using the natural
bentonite (GZ-Ben) from Gaozhou, China, at room temperature without calcination. Both Fe …

Microstructural evolution on heating was investigated in a reference industrial composition
(50% kaolinitic clay, 40% feldspar and 10% quartz) of porcelain stoneware, fast fired at …

Coal fly ash (CFA) accounts for a large fraction of the solid waste produced in China. Hence,
there is an urgent need for the effective utilization of CFA, for example, as a raw material for …

Mayouom and Ntamuka china clays, from Cameroon were used to produce porcelain
bodies. Two soft porcelain formulations: PSI (with Mayouom) and PSII (with Ntamuka) and …

In order to mitigate environmental damage and reduce the exploitation of clay banks caused
by the production of fired brick, research on the effect of the partial replacement of clay …

This paper investigates the mechanical, microstructural, and durability properties
(acid/sulfate attack, water absorption, electrical resistivity, and drying shrinkage) of carbon …
