In recent years, Coal Fly Ash (CFA), a significant industrial by-product of burning coal, has become a viable, affordable, and sustainable material for treating AMD. This review critically analyses current developments in the use of CFA for AMD remediation, emphasizing its physicochemical characteristics, pollutant removal methods, and performance-enhancing changes. Key findings from experimental and pilot-scale studies show that CFA can effectively neutralize acidic pH, remove up to 99 % of heavy metals, and precipitate sulphates through adsorption and co-precipitation processes. Modified CFA materials, including those treated with acids, bases, or nanomaterials, further enhance removal efficiencies and broaden application potential. Challenges related to CFA variability, long-term stability of treated effluents, and potential secondary pollution are critically discussed. The integration of CFA into sustainable AMD management frameworks is also explored, along with emerging innovations such as CFA-based composites and combined treatment systems. A bibliometric analysis highlighted important authors and nations that contribute to this topic and identified key trends in research production. These insights highlight the growing global interest and collaboration in developing sustainable, circular solutions for mine water remediation using industrial by-products.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":9749,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Engineering Journal Advances","volume":"25 ","pages":"Article 101047"},"PeriodicalIF":7.1,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146034398","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their extreme chemical stability primarily due to the strong carbon–fluorine (C–F) bond, the strongest bond in organic chemistry makes them highly resistant to degradation, even under harsh oxidative conditions. This study examines the degradation and defluorination of PFAS using a catalyst-free and chemical-additive-free orifice-based hydrodynamic cavitation (HC) treatment system. In HC, the rapid formation and subsequent collapse of cavitation bubbles generate intense shockwaves, localized high pressures, and elevated temperatures. These extreme conditions create a highly reactive physicochemical environment capable of initiating PFAS breakdown and promoting effective defluorination. In this study, perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), a representative long-chain PFAS, was selected at initial concentrations of 1 mg/L and 5 mg/L. Treatments were conducted under intense HC conditions (inlet orifice pressure of 48 bar; cavitation number of 0.03) with varying treatment durations. The results demonstrated increased PFOS degradation with treatment time along with detection of released fluoride ions indicating effective cleavage of C–F bonds. PFOS degradation reached 37%, and the degree of defluorination was 20% related to initial PFOS, respectively.

One of the major cost factors is the extensive gas cleaning necessary for the methanation of biogenic syngas. A scaled-up version of a 3D-printed reactor system is proposed in order to reduce such gas cleaning costs. The ADDmeth reactor system can operate tolerating the use of tar-laden syngas, as it is specifically designed to reform tar components in-situ within the reactor. A scale-up of the reactor concept is realized by running several of the triangular reactor cells in parallel. The 15 kW reactor ADDmeth4 consists of three ADDmeth3 reactor cells, that are adapted and optimized for the scale-up. The new reactor design aims at a more efficient use of the space within the reactor. A new improved steam generator design is used to overcome limitations in cooling. The structural stability is validated using finite elements analysis with a resulting minimum safety factor of 4.43. In ADDmeth4 experiments the total tar content of the syngas was reduced by 95 % in a part load setting at 5 kW. However, this reduction potential decreases at full load. Residual tar is likely removed in the condensation step. The transient behavior of the reactor’s scale-up approach allows for a use of the reactor in fluctuating operating modes. The reactor concept can also be used in Power-to-Gas or biogas upgrading scenarios, reaching a high methane yield in just one step. The results indicate that the reactor scale-up will increase its performance. Both the temperature profile and efficiency improve, the latter due to the decrease in outer surface area through which potential losses occur.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":9749,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Engineering Journal Advances","volume":"25 ","pages":"Article 101027"},"PeriodicalIF":7.1,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145938745","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
