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 ...

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 ...

Commercial Demonstration of a PEM Fuel Cell for Power Generation
The chlor-alkali industry, one of the largest chemical industries in India and growing at an annual rate of 3.3%, is expected to grow along with the growing Indian economy. This MW size proton-exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell product captures hydrogen produced in the chlor-alkali industry to create on site electricity and provide plant operators up to 20% of electricity savings. The electricity ...

Environment impact from ash disposal of the thermal power plant 'Kosova A'
Mining activities impact on environment is as old as these activities themselves. It is estimated that thermal power plants in Kosova produce about 1.6 million tons of ash per year, and all ash produced is disposed as waste material. The main problems for environment pollution are the ash dumps containing more than 40 million tons of ash cover about 150 ha of land. The ash dumps sites of the ...

Cenospheres - Case Study
The problem: A cenosphere is a lightweight, inert, hollow sphere made largely of silica and alumina and filled with air or inert gas, typically produced as a byproduct of coal combustion at thermal power plants. On average 0.5% of the fly ash generated in a coal fired power station boiler are Cenospheres. When fly ash is wet discharged in to ash ponds/lagoons cenospheres float on the water ...

Lightweight concrete mix profitable using heavyweight batch mixer
To increase production of concrete mixes containing coal fired power generation plant ash products, Charah Inc. opened a new manufacturing plant in Emporia, VA, which also serves as a warehouse and distribution center for other concrete industry products. Profit margins are slim in this high volume business, so management placed great emphasis on the capital and operational costs of the equipment ...

Case study - Fly ash concrete design for Chicago’s 100-year road structure
After years of heavy use, Wacker Drive, a major two-level viaduct in downtown Chicago, Illinois needed to be rebuilt. The Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT) set ambitious goals for the $200 million concrete structure because of its central location and importance to downtown traffic flow. The end result is a more durable roadway with a service life of 75 to 100 years. Originally built ...

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 ...

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), ...
