An immobilisation mechanism for lead in fly ash subjected to mechanochemical treatment
Mechanochemical (MC) processes immobilise heavy metals in fly ash, a desirable outcome because recycled fly ash is commonly used in the synthesis of inorganic materials. We investigate the extent of immobilisation and the mechanism of lead (Pb) leaching during MC treatment of fly ash, using lead oxide (PbO) and lead dichloride (PbCl2) as model compounds. MC treatment of the fly ash inhibited Pb ...

Utilisation of pulverised coal fly-ash as filler and rice straw as fibrous raw material for manufacturing of special grade paper
This innovative research study is based on utilisation of two solid waste materials, pulverised coal fly-ash and rice straw for manufacturing of laminate base paper. Fly-ash can prove to be a very good filler for laminate grade coloured base papers and other specialty papers where very high opacity is sought but whiteness is not important. The paper samples with 22% filler have opacity of 99.6% ...

Relationships among loss-on-ignition and unburned carbons, and the FTIR photoacoustic spectra of fly ashes
Loss-on-ignition (LOI) and unburned carbon (UC) concentrations of fly ash are two very important indices for evaluating combustion efficiencies of boilers. They are also very important factors affecting the utilisation of fly ashes. The LOI and UC of five fly ash samples collected from different power plants were analysed. The Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) photoacoustic spectra (PAS) of these ...

Case study - Fly ash for California’s Olivenhain dam
The Olivenhain Dam will be the first roller compacted concrete (RCC) gravity dam in California and the tallest in North America. At 308 feet tall and 2,552 feet long, the dam used almost 1.5 million cubic yards of RCC and over 152,000 tons of fly ash. As the centerpiece of the San Diego County Water Authority (SDCWA) Emergency Storage Project, the dam is designed to survive a major earthquake and ...

Laboratory investigation of hydraulic characteristics of fly ash as a fill material from the aspects of pollutant transport
Depending on the usage of fly ash, it is necessary to determine its environmental parameters, such as the potential for pollutant transport/leaching after its built-in. This study presents a methodology for determination of transport parameters (filtration coefficient, effective porosity, longitudinal dispersivity, and the mean residence time) from experimental data collected from column ...

Modified Testing Device to Evaluate MR Properties on Fly Ash Treated Subgrade Soil
The need to obtain reliable resilient modulus (MR) for fly ash treated subgrade soil in pavement thickness design in Taiwan prompted the modification of the existing standard testing device. In the modified device, a load cell and two linear variable differential transformers (LVDTs), conforming to TAI and AASHTO methods, were used to measure the axial load and deformation of specimen. To control ...

Pyrolysis of low-density polyethylene using synthetic catalysts produced from fly ash
Catalytic pyrolysis of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) was investigated using various fly ash-derived silica–alumina catalysts (FSAs). FSAs were prepared by a simple activation method that basically includes NaOH treatment of fly ash by a fusion method, followed by an aging process. A series of LDPE pyrolysis experiments was conducted and the catalytic performance of FSAs was assessed in terms of ...

Case study - High volume fly ash for the 2 Folsom project
High Volume Fly Ash (HVFA) concrete was successfully used as the cornerstone of this project’s sustainability program. HVFA concrete was aggressively pursued because of its environmental benefits. When fly ash is used in place of cement, energy and landfill space is conserved and greenhouse gas emissions are reduced. During this HVFA project, roughly 2,800 tons of CO2 emissions were ...

Utilization of fly ash in construction industries for environment management
Abstract Fly ash is naturally cementations coal combustion by-product. A fine glass powder recovered from the gases of burning coal during the production of electricity is fly ash. The combustion of powdered coal in thermal power plants produces fly ash. Disposal of high amount of fly ash from thermal power plants absorb huge amount of water, energy and land area by ash ponds. Generation of ...

Fly Ash & the Lightweight Aggregate Market
In 2015, the global fly ash market was estimated to be valued at 40 billion USD. A recent industry analysis by Research Nester anticipates the market will reach an estimated 70 billion USD by the end of 2023 – a 7.1% CAGR owing to increasing urbanization and a boost in construction projects. Along with bottom ash (BA) and flue gas desulfurization gypsum (FGD gypsum, or synthetic gypsum), ...

Improved understanding of the pozzolanic behaviour of MSWI fly ash with Ca(OH)
2solutionThe study aims at investigating pozzolanic behaviour of MSWI fly ash in a saturated Ca(OH)2 solution at various times. The raw and water–washed fly ashes were selected for the pozzolanic solidification experiment to which mass ratios of the solution to ash (ml/g) were adjusted to be 3 and 10, whereas the solidification times were set from 7 to 28 days and from one to three months. From the XRD ...

A Pilot Study of Mercury Liberation and Capture from Coal-Fired Power Plant Fly Ash
The coal-fired electric utility generation industry has been identified as the largest anthropogenic source of mercury (Hg) emissions in the United States. One of the promising techniques for Hg removal from flue gas is activated carbon injection (ACI). The aim of this project was to liberate Hg bound to fly ash and activated carbon after ACI and provide high-quality coal combustion ...
