The present application relates to a porous material and preparation methods thereof, and anodes and devices including the same. The porous material provided by the present application includes a material of the formula Si.sub.aM.sub.bO.sub.x, wherein the ratio of x to a is about 0.6 to about 1.5, and the ratio of a to b is about 8 to about 10,000, wherein M includes at least one selected from the group consisting of Al, Si, P, Mg, Ti and Zr. The anode and an electrochemical device including the porous material exhibit higher rate performance, higher first coulombic efficiency, higher cycle stability and lower cycle expansion ratio.

The present invention belongs to the field of material preparation, and particularly relates to a two-dimensional clay based composite phosphorus removing agent and a preparation method. The two-dimensional clay based composite phosphorus removing agent provided by the present invention takes two-dimensional clay, hydroxide (such as lanthanum hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide) and urea as raw materials, and the composite phosphorus removing agent with high property is prepared by a roasting method. Through a combined physical and chemical method, phosphorus in the phosphorus-containing wastewater is effectively removed by the synergic interaction between components of the composite phosphorus removing agent. The invention overcomes the defects of large consumption and secondary pollution easily caused by using metal hydroxides, metal oxides and metal salts separately as chemical phosphorus removing agents, and simultaneously expands the application fields of the two-dimensional clay.

A process for the isolation and purification of substantially pure chemicals, including silica gel, sodium silicate, aluminum silicate, iron oxide, and rare earth elements (or rare earth metals, REEs), from massive industrial waste coal ash including a plurality of caustic extractions of coal ash at an elevated temperature, followed by an acidic treatment to dissolve aluminum silicate and REEs. Dissolved aluminum silicate is precipitated out by pH adjustment as a solid product while REEs remain in the solution. REEs are captured and enriched using an ion exchange column. Alternatively, the solution containing aluminum silicate and REEs is heated to produce silica gel, which is separated from the enriched REEs solution. REEs are then isolated and purified from the enriched solution to afford substantially pure individual REE by a ligand-assisted chromatography.
