Adsorption/Desorption Capability of Potassium-Type Zeolite Prepared from Coal Fly Ash for Removing of Hg2+

Characterization of X-type Zeolite Prepared from Coal Fly Ash

This study presents experimental results dealing with the possibility of transforming F-class fly ash into a zeolitic material. Two types of synthesis methods were used in the research: hydrothermal and low-temperature synthesis. As a result of alkaline reaction of fly ash with NaOH, all experimental cases yielded zeolitic material that are rich in a Na-X phase. The mineralogical composition (d...

Removing Ammonia from Fly Ash

Zeolite Synthesis Strategies from Coal Fly Ash: A Comprehensive Review of Literature

The ever increasing energy demand in developing world will result in sustainable increase in the fly ash generation, which will remain a cause of concern as far as its management is concerned. However, technological advance may prove to be effective in fly ash management as well as its possible utilization through the zeolites. The zeolites are known to possess many beneficial properties (such ...

Formation of linde F zeolite by KOH treatment of coal fly ash

Zeolitic products formed by hydrothermal treatment of coal fly ash (FA) with KOH aqueous solution under various reaction conditions were examined. Only linde F-type zeolite (K2Al2Si2O8·3H2O) was newly formed at atmospheric pressure, except formation of a small amount of kalsilite (KAlSiO4) at longer reaction time. The yield of the linde F zeolite was highest when reaction time, temperature, KOH...

The respiratory toxicity of coal fly ash

The aim of this study was to compare the relative respiratory toxicity of CFA samples obtained from three Chinese coal-burning power stations to CFA obtained from a UK coal-burning power station; both bulk and respirable PM10 samples were tested. In order to elucidate CFA toxicity, a multi-disciplinary approach was taken, thereby considering geochemical aspects of the fly ash as well as biochem...
