Production of citrate-soluble potassium silicate fertilizer from fly ash.

Production of glass-ceramic from incinerator fly ash

Vitrification is one of the technological options for treating toxic waste. This paper reports the results of the feasibility study of utilizing fly ash from municipal waste incinerators by powder sintering technology. This process was used to transform vitrified incinerated fly ash into a CaO–Al2O3–SiO2 system of glass ceramic products. The major phase exhibited is gehlenite (Ca2Al2SiO7), whic...

Glass-ceramic frits from fly ash in terracotta production.

Preliminary results of an investigation into the possible use of glass-ceramic frits from fly ash and glass cullet in terracotta (stoneware) tile manufacture are reported. Two new ceramics were studied and compared with a plant composition, containing 45 wt.% sodium feldspar. In the first ceramic batch 20% of the feldspar was substituted by frits and in the second the whole amount of feldspar w...

Production geopolymer materials by coal fly ash

Coal ash is the main waste from power plant. It is estimated that the consumption of the coal for power plant will increase to 240 million tons each year and the coal ash wastes will produce more than 2 million tons per year. Although the utilization of coal fly ash can be reached 74.1%, large amount of coal fly ash and bottom ash still cannot be utilized. The purpose of this research is to dev...

Removing Ammonia from Fly Ash

Characterization of Fly Ash for the Production of Geopolymer Cements

Current ASTM standards can be used to provide a degree of characterization of geopolymeric materials, yet the researcher must be aware of differences between hydraulic and geopolymer cementitious materials. The current study assessed the applicability of available ASTM standards that analyze the insoluble content and oxide content of cementitious materials (ASTM C114 and C311), compressive stre...
