Chemical composition of indoor ash residues
Authors
Abstract:
The ash content formed after burning of materials in indoor may be harmful to environment on dumping due to high ionic and metallic concentration. Therefore, the chemical composition of various indoor ash residues derived from burning of the biomass (BM), coal (C), cow dung (CD), incense (IS) and mosquito coil (MC) materials is described in this study. Three samples each of BM, coal, CD, IS and MC materials were burnt. The ash residues were collected and sieved out the particles of mesh size £0.1 mm size. The Cl–, NO3–, SO42–, Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+ content (n = 15) was ranged from 0.12-8.27, 0.01-0.64, 0.74-12.53, 0.06-4.47, 0.29-15.45, 0.30-2.51 and 0.68-19.05% with mean value of 1.81 ± 1.18, 0.10 ± 0.08, 3.31 ± 1.66, 1.05 ± 0.70, 4.92 ± 2.04, 1.27 ± 0.36 and 7.68 ± 2.94%, respectively. The composition of metals, that is, Fe, Cr, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn and Pb (n = 15) was ranged from 1100-24,600, 12-211, 109-1102, 5-142, 21-145, 25-244 and 5-42 mg/kg with mean value of 95 ± 31, 474 ± 152, 43 ± 23, 75 ± 23, 107 ± 32 and 16 ± 6 mg/kg, respectively. The enrichment and fluxes of ions and metals of indoor ash residues are described.

Ash Melting Temperature Prediction from Chemical Composition of Biomass Ash
Solid fuels, including biomass, consist of combustible, ash and water. Ash in fuel is result of reaction of minerals presented in the biomass. Minerals and other different substances which form ash got into biomass during growth. Ash is solid residue resulted from the perfect laboratory combustion of fuel. It is composed of minerals that are present in the fuel. Some species of biomass ash have...
full textChemical Reaction of Fly Ash
In a previous paper, Brouwers and Van Eijk [1] presented a theoretical study on the dissolution (reaction) of pulverised powder coal fly ash. This fly ash was modelled as hollow spheres, and a shrinking core model was derived for these hollow spheres that contain two regions (an outer hull and an inner region). The obtained analytical equations were applied to the dissolution experiments by Pie...

Short-term effects of different doses (0.25 and 0.5 kg m) of wood ash fertilization in a field experiment in a 20-year-old Scots pine stand on a nutrient-poor sandy soil (Arenosol) was studied in North Estonia. Soil chemical properties, nutrient accumulation, soluble carbohydrates, starch, hemicellulose, cellulose, and lignin were used as biochemical indicators for the assessment of the state o...

The extraction of sulphur produces a hematite-rich waste, known as roasted pyrite ash, which contains significant amounts of environmentally sensitive elements in variable concentrations and modes of occurrence. Whilst the mineralogy of roasted pyrite ash associated with iron or copper mining has been studied, as this is the main source of sulphur worldwide, the mineralogy, and more importantly...

The indoor and outdoor particulate concentration and its chemical composition in six monitoring stations and selected residential dwellings were studied in May 2010 in Kathmandu valley. The six stations were strategically located to measure the air quality of the valley viz. -urban roadside, urban hospital, urban residential, urban background and valley background. Particulate concentration was...
