Management of Solid Waste Containing Fluoride—A Review
Abstract Technological and economic development have influenced the amount of post-production waste. Post-industrial waste, generated in the most considerable amount, includes, among others, waste related to the mining, metallurgical, and energy industries. Various non-hazardous or hazardous wastes can be used to produce new construction materials after the “solidification/stabilization” processes. They can be used as admixtures […]

Transformation and migration mechanism of fluorine-containing pollutants in the pyrolysis process of spent lithium-ion battery.
Highlights Adsorption of electrodes to electrolyte can lead to fluorine-containing residues. Melting PVDF prevents the deep removal of fluorine-containing pollutants. A synergistic transformation mechanism of fluorine during pyrolysis is proposed. Abstract Pyrolysis is an effective method to remove organics (e.g. electrolytes and binders) from spent lithium-ion battery (LIB). In this study, the co-pyrolysis characteristics of […]

Study the Use of Activated Carbon and Bone Char on the Performance of Gravity Sand-Bag Water Filter
Abstract In this study, granulated activated charcoal (GAC) and bio charcoal (BC) is used as a filler in P3 biosand bag filter to study their filtration performance against a range of fluoride impurities from 1-1400 mg/L. A set of experiments are done to analyze the filtration efficiency of the sandbag filter against fluoride impurities after […]

Astronomers find the farthest evidence of fluoride to date, in a distant galaxy
This will teach us a lot about how the element forms in the Universe. An international team of astronomers reports on a new sighting of fluorine in another galaxy. This is the farthest the element has ever been detected and will help us better understand the stellar processes that lead to its creation. This artist’s […]
