Utilization of Biomineralization Processes with Fly Ash for Carbon Sequestration
نویسنده
چکیده
Introduction The Department of Energy (DOE) Energy Information Administration estimates atmospheric greenhouse gas releases may exceed 8 billion metric tons by the year 2010 heightening its international environmental concern. Carbon dioxide will dominate the greenhouse gases (Kane and Klein, 1997) and the majority of these results from the use of fossil fuels. With viable replacement of fossil fuels remaining decades away, alternatives for reducing the impacts of atmospheric CO2 accumulations will surely include carbon sequestration and carbon management.

Distribution of trace elements in coal and coal fly ash and their recovery with mineral processing practices: A review
Today coal is among the most important energy sources. In order to meet the world's energy demands, low-calorie lignite with a high ash content is generally used in the large capacity coal-fired thermal power plants. As a result of coal firing, wastes such as fly ash, slag, and flue gas are also produced. Subsequently, toxic trace elements within coal are transferred to wastes such as slag, fl...
متن کاملEffect of carbon black and fly ash co-fillers content on mechanical and thermal behaviors of styrene butadiene rubber compounds
Fly ash (FA) is produced as a waste byproduct during the burning process of coal in thermal power plants whose cost is primarily associated to cleaning and transportation. It possesses mechanical properties on account of its constituents like silica and alumina. The use of FA as filler in styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) was of researchers’ interest to reinforce and/or to reduce product cost. In ...

This project consisted of performance testing and evaluation of concrete and Controlled LowStrength Materials (CLSM) containing high-carbon fly ash. One of the aims of this project was to determine the feasibility of incorporating carbon fibers into CLSM and concrete mixtures to lower electrical resistance of these two construction materials. This is continuing work performed by the UWM Center ...
متن کاملPotential for Metal Leaching and Toxicity from Fly Ash Applied for Increasing Carbon Sequestration in Soil
Previous work with leaching of metals from several fly ashes (both class F and class C) indicated minimal potential of leaching of toxic levels of metals from most fly ashes tested. Also, mixing fly ash with soil and other amendments (phosphate fertilizer) significantly decreases Cr, Li, Pb, and Cd in the leachate. One concern is that the characteristics of fly ash may be changed by the additio...
