Environmental Impact of Heavy Metals Contained in Fly Ash Emitted from the Thai Lignite-fired Power Plant
In this work, the highly hazardous heavy metals (HM) are the focus of an assessment of the environmental impact of the Mae Moh Power Plant (Northem Thailand) fired with Thai lignites. The synergetic environmental impacts associated with the high sulfur content in the fuel (average value of 3.3% and maximum up to 7.0%) and the presence of a large number of heavy metals (As, Ba, Ce, Co, Cr, CS, N...
متن کاملDistribution 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 کاملEnvironmental Assessment of Bottom Ash from Canadian Coal-Fired Power Plants
Bottom ashes collected from ESP and baghouse of seven pulverized coal-fired power plants using subbituminous and bituminous coal and a fluidized bed combustor using crushed bituminous coal were examined for their mineralogy and elemental composition. The results presented in this paper are based on the average of three samples collected from each power plant. The mineralogy of each sample was d...
متن کاملAssessment of direct radiological risk and indirect associated toxic risks originated by Coal-Fired Power Plants
Over the past few decades there has been some discussion concerning the increase of the natural background radiation originated by coal-fired power plants, due to the uranium and thorium content present in combustion ashes. The radioactive decay products of uranium and thorium, such as radium, radon, polonium, bismuth and lead, are also released in addition to a significant amount of 40K. Since...
متن کاملArsenic leachability and speciation in fly ashes from coal fired power plants
To determine dominant factors on arsenic leaching from the coal fly ash, arsenic leaching test under a constant pH was performed. Twelve fly ash samples were collected from two coal fired power plants (600 MWe) having different boiler types. Arsenic in the raw coal was almost all associated with the fly ash in both power plants; however arsenic leaching fraction was strongly differed in boiler ...
