In the present study, an attempt has been made to prepare and characterize geopolymer synthetic sand with effective utilization of fly ash by using alkaline solutions …

Synthesis experiments were first developed using 4 g of fly ash in 4744 Parr digestion bombs with Teflon reactors.The zeolite conversion was studied as a function of activation agent (KOH and NaOH), temperature (150 and 200°C), conversion time (3–48 h), solution concentration (0.5, 1, 2, 3 and 5 M), pressure (from 4.7 to 15.3 atm), and …

The rapidly increasing demand for energy in China leads to the construction of new power plants all over the country. Coal, as the main fuel resource of those power plants, results in increasing problems with the disposal of solid residues from combustion and off gas cleaning. This investigation describes chances for the utilization of fly ash …

Sand Using Fly Ash Pupalwad Arti Sudam 1 ; M. Heeralal 2 ; and Kadali Srinivas 3 Abstract: Sand is a naturally available resource that has numerous applications in civil engineering.

1. Introduction. Fly ash (FA) is defined by European standard EN 450-1 as a"fine-grained powder, which is mainly composed of spherical glassy particles, produced during the combustion of pulverised coal" (Querol, 2002).FA comprises between 60 and 88 wt.% of the solid residue; it is considered a pollutant if unused, and requires disposal.FA …

Zeolites can be extensively employed in agricultural activities because they improve soil properties such as infiltration rates, saturated hydraulic conductivity, water holding capacity, and cation exchange capacity. Natural and synthetic zeolites can efficiently hold water. Zeolites are also believed to have the ability to lose and gain water …

Large amounts of coal combustion products (as solid products of thermal power plants) with different chemical and physical properties cause serious environmental problems. Even though coal fly …

In addition to various pollutant gases, viz. SO x and NO x, fly ash forms a major part of the exhaust gases from coal-based thermal power plants and if not managed properly may result in significant environmental pollution (He et al. 2012).This is due to the presence of various heavy metals, e.g., As, Ba, Cr, Se, Hg, etc., and adsorbed or …

The high demand for energy production in countries where coal-fired and lignite-fired power plants are the main or only energy source (about 35.8 % of global electricity production [1]) implies ...

In this paper, we present the possibility of using fly ash to produce synthetic zeolites. The synthesis class F fly ash from the Stalowa Wola SA heat and power plant was subjected to 24 h hydrothermal reaction with sodium hydroxide. Depending on the reaction conditions, three types of synthetic zeolites were formed: Na …

The EU-funded SMARTSAND project developed Lypors™, an advanced engineered, artificial sand material manufactured from fly ash for use in the …

However, using fly ash in concrete does come with potential problems. Substituting fly ash for Portland cement in a concrete mixture leads to longer drying and curing times. When used in cold climates, mixtures with high levels of fly ash can also encounter issues with slow strength development.
