This study investigates the effect of modified TiO 2 on the strength of gold tailings-based no-fire bricks under ambient temperature and pressure conditions. Gold tailings, river sand, and gravel were used as raw materials, with cement-epoxy resin serving as the composite binder and modified TiO 2 acting as the reinforcing agent. The surface of TiO 2 was modified by silane coupling agent KH-560 and polyethyleneimine (PEI), and the effect of modified TiO 2 on the performance and characterization of gold tailings-based no-fire bricks was investigated. The results show that 25% KH-560 silane coupling agent and 75% polyethyleneimine (PEI) modify TiO 2 best. The optimal compressive strength of 79.6 MPa was achieved in gold tailings-based no-fire bricks with 2% modified TiO 2 addition. Microscopic morphology and chemical analysis confirmed that the modified TiO 2 significantly enhanced the structural integrity of gold tailings-based no-fire bricks.","PeriodicalId":11709,"journal":{"name":"Environment Protection Engineering","volume":"51 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://doi.org/10.37190/epe250207","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147916307","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through the calculation of the mass balance, the quantitative distribution of antibiotics in the water phase, sediment, Microcystis aeruginosa, and plant tissues, and the total elimination efficiency of the antibiotics were determined. The results showed that higher concentrations of sulfathiazole (STZ) and sulfamethoxazole (SMZ) were detected in the water phase of the non-plant group, which were 52.81% and 56.88%, respectively, and ciprofloxacin (CIP) and tetracycline (TCY) were detected higher in the sediment, up to 1562 ng/g and 1829 ng/g, respectively. The antibiotic removal rates have been greatly improved, and those in the system containing Microcystis aeruginosa were higher than that in the system without aquatic plants or algae. The calculation of the mass balance showed that the removal effect of algae combined with Juncus effusus was the best, and the removal rates (azithromycin (AZM) and clarithromycin (CLM)) were the highest, reaching 68.88% and 61.96%. It seems that algae and plants play an important role in the removal of antibiotics.","PeriodicalId":11709,"journal":{"name":"Environment Protection Engineering","volume":"49 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://doi.org/10.37190/epe230101","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147894166","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The model was formulated and validated on experimental data and CFD simulations. The standard gas (air) to liquid (sewage) volumetric ratio is roughly equal to the ratio of subsequent admittance times of these two phases, provided that the liquid plug is not fully sucked from the service lateral to the vacuum main during the valve open time. A longer air suction time is needed only when the service lateral is too short to provide enough air to transport the sewage past the nearest downstream lift on the vacuum main. Sizing properly the active sump volume and valve open time for a given service lateral length, one can provide the required air to liquid ratios along the vacuum main, thus minimizing the energy consumption by the vacuum pumps.","PeriodicalId":11709,"journal":{"name":"Environment Protection Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70006366","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The initial 34 (PO -P) − concentration was reduced by 90% after 90 min of reactor operation time. Additionally, a three-dimensional numerical model for 34 PO -P − removal via the electrocoagulation process is devel-oped that includes the processes of phosphate adsorption and desorption on coagulated/flocculated particles, along with particles settling.
