Coal Combustion Byproducts and Their Usage – Water Field

Field Testing of Arsenic and Mercury Bioavailability Model from Land- Applied Coal Combustion Byproducts Final Report

The objective of the study was to provide a model to predict the uptake of arsenic and mercury by plants in response to coal combustion byproducts (CCB) application rates to soil, based on CCB/soil characteristics as determined by sequential extraction of the amended soil. Two greenhouse studies were conducted. The first study consisted of sorghum sudan grass, sunflower, and brake fern, an arse...

Coal Combustion and Combustion Products

Notes on Contributions to the Science of Rare Earth Element Enrichment in Coal and Coal Combustion Byproducts

Coal and coal combustion byproducts can have significant concentrations of lanthanides (rare earth elements). Rare earths are vital in the production of modern electronics and optics, among other uses. Enrichment in coals may have been a function of a number of processes, with contributions from volcanic ash falls being among the most significant mechanisms. In this paper, we discuss some of th...

Evaluation of Leaching Protocols for the Testing of Coal Combustion Byproducts

Title of Document: EVALUATION OF LEACHING PROTOCOLS FOR THE TESTING OF COAL COMBUSTION BYPRODUCTS Jason Louis Becker, Master of Science, 2010 Directed By: Associate Professor Ahmet Aydilek, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering Beneficial reuse of coal combustion byproducts requires an evaluation of metal leaching potential. Reuse of high carbon fly ash in highway embankment constru...

Fish and their Byproducts

Fish is a unique source of micro-nutrients. However, many parts of larger fish, such as the head and the bones, are discarded during fish processing despite the high levels of nutrients, and particularly micronutrients found in these parts. Thus the promotion and use of fish byproducts to create low-cost, high-quality food could help reduce malnutrition. This practice illustrates the nutritiona...
