The present disclosure provides a method for transforming an arsenic sulfide slag and curing and stabilizing the resulting compound by means of microencapsulation, comprising the following steps: (1) preparing arsenic trioxide from the arsenic sulfide slag as a raw material; (2) preparing 4-hydroxy-3-nitrophenylarsonic acid from the arsenic trioxide as a raw material; (3) preparing an iron-manganese dinuclear cluster metal arsenate compound having a porous structure; (4) subjecting the iron-manganese dinuclear cluster metal arsenate compound having a porous structure to surface coating with silicon; (5) synthesizing an Fe(0)/Al-SBA-15 mesoporous composite stabilizer by a hydrothermal reaction; and (6) subjecting the silicon coated iron-manganese dinuclear cluster metal arsenate compound to curing and stabilizing treatment by means of microencapsulation. The present disclosure involves transforming the arsenic sulfide slag into 4-hydroxy-3-nitrophenylarsonic acid and finally into a metal arsenate compound having a porous structure, which has the characteristics of good stability and low toxicity in comparison to conventional arsenic compounds. Thus, the toxicity associated with arsenic compounds can be greatly reduced.

A method is presented for producing hollow microspheres of metal oxides (HMOMS) and/or hollow metal silicates microspheres (HMSMS) in a transforming solution. The transforming solution contains an atom M, or an M-ion, or a radical containing M. M in the transforming solution has the thermodynamic ability to replace silicon atoms in hollow silica microspheres (HSMS) and/or hollow glass microspheres (HGMS). The maximum temperature for transformation is set by the chemical physical properties of the transforming solution, and the viscosity of the silica in the walls of the HSMS and/or the glass in the walls of the HGMS. Viscosity, of enough magnitude, helps retain the desired shape of the hollow sphere as it is transformed to HMOMS and/or HMSMS. Non-spherical shapes can be produced by increasing the transformation temperature whereby the viscosity of the walls of the HSMS and/or the HGMS is reduced. Transformation can take place at a single temperature or at several temperatures, each temperature for a separate hold time.

Methods are presented for: 1. production of micro composite castings and continuous production of sheets of micro composites, both consisting of hollow spheres in a matrix, 2. harvesting of HMOMS and HMSMS, and 3. specialty castings for anisotropic properties using 3-dimensional printing

Commercially beneficial carbon-containing fractions can be recovered from hydrothermal liquefaction reactions in various types of processors. Feedstock slurry from waste solids is placed into a pressurized processor where it is maintained at temperature and pressure for a predetermined period. On discharge from the processor the processed discharge is separated into liquid and solid fractions. Gaseous fractions including carbon dioxide can also be removed or off-taken from the processor. New molecular structures are created in this reaction, resulting in fractions including biogas, biofuels, biosolids and biocrude. Silica, phosphates, potash and low concentration nitrogen based fertilizer, along with carbonaceous material can also be recovered.

The present invention relates to a porous silicon-silicon oxide-carbon composite comprising a silicon oxide-carbon structure and silicon particles, wherein the silicon oxide-carbon structure comprises a plurality of micropores, and the silicon particles are uniformly distributed in the silicon oxide-carbon structure. The porous silicon-silicon oxide-carbon composite of the present invention shows decreased volume expansion due to the intercalation of lithium ions and improved electric conductivity, and has a porous structure. Accordingly, an electrolyte easily penetrates into the porous structure, and output properties may be improved. When the composite is included in a negative electrode active material, the performance of a lithium secondary battery may be further improved.
