Application of bio-fuel by-product sugarcane bagasse ash SBA as. Including sugarcane bagasse ash SBA13, recycled paper mill waste4.as bagassios. In this paper, Bagasse ash can be utilized by replacing it with fly ash and lime in fly ash bricks. Trial bricks of size 230x100x75 mm were tested.bagasse ash SCBA, several trials were conducted to define optimum burning time and temperatures. SCBA use...

Surface transportation networks are critical infrastructure that are frequently affected by volcanic ash fall. Disruption to surface transportation from volcanic ash is often complex with the severity of impacts influenced by a vast array of parameters including, among others, ash properties such as particle size and deposit thickness, meteorological conditions, pavement characteristics, and mi...

Previous laboratory studies indicate that coal combustion wastes (a mixture composed of fly ash and other lower volume wastes such as bottom ash; hereafter collectively referred to as ash) adversely affect the health of benthic fish (Erimyzon sucetta; lake chubsucker), but fish in these studies were provided with ample uncontaminated food resources. Because aquatic disposal of ash can also adve...

The study presents the behaviour of wood ash / OPC concrete. Chemical analysis of wood ash, bulk density, sieve analysis and specific gravity of wood ash and aggregates, consistency, setting time and slump test of the fresh paste were conducted to determine the suitability of the materials for concrete making. Mix ratio of 1:2:4 and percentage replacement level of 0, 10, 20, 30 and 40 percents ...

An estimated 229,000 m(3) of coal fly ash remains in the river system after dredging to clean-up the 2008 Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) spill in Kingston, Tennessee. The ash is heterogeneous with clear, orange and black spheres and non-spherical amorphous particles. Combustion produces iron oxides that allow low field magnetic susceptibility (χ(LF)) and percent frequency dependent susceptibi...

Emerald ash borer, Agrilus planipennis (Fairmaire) (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), plays a significant role in the health and extent of management of native North American ash species in urban forests. An economic analysis of management options was performed to aid decision makers in preparing for likely future infestations. Separate ash tree population valuations were derived from the i-Tree Street...

Coal fly ash and effluent from coal ash settling basins negatively affects metabolism and reproduction in a variety of organisms, including a number of fish species. Some species, most notably the eastern mosquitofish (Gambusia holbrooki), are known to maintain viable populations in areas contaminated by coal ash. While eastern mosquitofish are present in these systems, their degree of toleranc...

Introduction: Bone graft is harvested from bone and used to stimulate bone healing due to its properties. The aims of the study were to compare the quantity of graft harvested from proximal tibia and iliac crest, and the complications at these donor sites. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective study carried out on all consecutive patients who had orthopaedic procedures that required bon...

Characteristics of biomass used as fuel and distinct ash flows in a thermal power plant with BFBC (bubbling fluidised bed combustion) technology were studied. An integrated approach involving chemical composition, microscopy analysis, mineralogy, and thermal behaviour were used to characterize the ash. The ashes have a low unburned content, typically below 3 wt.% (dry basis), with higher values...
