Abstract—Fly ash is a waste material of coal firing thermal plants that is released from thermal power plants. It was defined as very fine particles that are drifted upward which are taken up by the flue gases. The emerging amount of fly ash in the world is approximately 600 million tons per year. In our country, it is expected that will be occurred 50 million tons of waste ash per year until 2...

20 The aim of this paper is to assess the Zn isotopic variabilty in feed materials and in 21 combustion by-products collected from three different coal-fired power plants and to 22 develop a generalized model that accounts for the Zn isotopic fractionation occuring 23 during coal combustion processes. Partitioning of Zn between combustion residues and 24 the isotopic composition of feed materia...

Chloride content is a critical problem for the reuse of fly ash as a raw material in cement, and the method used by recyclers to reduce the fly ash chloride content depends on the chemical form of the chlorides. However, limited information is available on the quantitative distribution of chlorides and the identity of some chlorides such as Friedel's salt. We examined chloride forms and percent...

Adsorption is an effective remediation technique for petroleum hydrocarbons because of its ease of use and high efficiency. The utilization of high-carbon content industrial by-products in such applications can present significant economic and environmental advantages. In this study, batch adsorption tests and petrographic analyses were used to investigate the adsorption of two nonpolar petrole...

Bricks whose solid ingredient is 100% fly ash have been manufactured. The manufacturing process uses techniques and equipment similar to those used in clay brick factories. The bricks produced were about 28% lighter than clay bricks. The bricks manufactured from fly ash possessed compressive strength higher than 40 MPa. This exceeds some of the best of load carrying clay bricks available by mor...

This paper deals with the state-of-the-art information on high-calcium, ASTM Class C fly ash use in cement-based construction materials, such as high-performance concrete, ready-mixed concrete, etc. The major topics included are: properties of fly ash, effects of fly ash inclusion on fresh and hardened concrete, and future research needs. The fresh concrete properties include workability, water...

Experiments have been conducted to study the effect of addition of fly ash, copper slag, and steel and polypropylene fibres on compressive strength of concrete and to determine the hierarchical order of influence of the mix variables in affecting the strength using cluster analysis experimentally. While fly ash and copper slag are used for partial replacement of cement and fine aggregate, respe...

Bottom and fly ashes streams collected along a year in several biomass thermal plants were studied. The bulk composition of ashes and other chemical characteristics that may impact soil application showed a high variability depending on the ash stream, combustion technology and ash management practice at the power plants. The acid neutralization capacity (ANC) and metal's availability for leach...

This paper focuses on testing performed onmixtures that would be consistent with themortar portion of a concrete bridge deck mixture for many state departments of transportation. In this work a relatively large percentage of cement (40%, 60%, or 80% by volume) is replaced with Class C fly ash. To overcome concerns associated with slow set and early-age strength development that are often expres...
