In this study, fly ash was obtained from Matla power station and the physicochemical properties investigated. The fly ash was characterized by x-ray fluorescence, x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Surface area, particle size, ash and carbon contents, pH, and point of zero charge were also measured. The results showed that the fly ash is alkaline and consists mainly of mullite (Al6Si2O13) and quartz (SiO2). Highly toxic metals As, Sb, Cd, Cr, and Pb as well as metals that are essential to health in trace amounts were also present. The storage and disposal of coal fly ash can thus lead to the release of leached metals into soils, surface and ground waters, find way into the ecological systems and then cause harmful effect to man and its environments.

Fly ash particles entrained in the flue gas from boiler furnaces in coal-fired power stations can cause serious erosive wear on steel surfaces along the downstream flow path. This paper describes research into fly ash impingement erosion on such surfaces, with particular reference to the heat transfer plates in rotary regenerative air heaters. The effect of the ash particle impact velocity and impact angle on the erosive wear of mild steel surfaces was determined through experimental investigations, using three different power station ash types. The experimental data were used to calibrate a fundamentally-derived model for the prediction of erosion rates. This erosion model was incorporated into a particle-tracking CFD flow simulation of the ash-laden flue gas flow through the complex channels between corrugated air heater plates. The predicted erosion rates were compared with measured erosion rates obtained using a large accelerated-erosion test facility located at a power station. Good agreement was obtained, the predictions generally being within 20 percent of the measured values.

Diametral Tensile Strength

In the present research, the combined utilization of fly ash (FA), derived from a lignite-fed power station, along with scrap-soil (SS), a steel industry by-product, is investigated, for the development of eco-friendly ceramics, thus enhancing innovation and sustainability. The valorization of these low price and largely available industrial secondary resources as 100% the raw materials mixture in ceramic industry arises interesting technological, environmental and economical benefits. FA and SS were mixed in various proportions (0-70%wt. in SS), cold compacted at 20 tn load using an automated hydraulic press to form a series of 5 cm diameter disc-shaped specimens, and finally sintered at three different peak temperatures (1000oC, 1100oC and 1140oC) for 3h. Then, the specimen microstructure and physico-mechanical properties were characterized. According to the experimental results, a sintering temperature increase from 1000°C up to 1140oC significantly improves specimen densification, thus sharply enhancing the diametral tensile strength (DTS), from 0.5 MPa up to 12.8 MPa respectively for a 50-50%wt. FA-SS mixture. Mechanical strength also varies with the SS percentage in the raw materials. Physico-mechanical properties seem to be constant for specimens containing SS up to 60% at 1140oC.

Available Water Capacity

Fly ash from a coal-fired power station was incorporated with each of a 'fine' (0.2-0.5 mm) and 'coarse' (1.4-2.0 mm) sand fraction to give mixtures containing 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 75 and 100% fly ash by weight. The addition of 10% by weight of ash increased the available water capacity by factors of 7.2 (1.0-7.2% by weight) and 13.5 (0.4-5.4% by weight) for the 'fine' and 'coarse' sands respectively. Subsequent additional 10% increments of ash increased the capacity by smaller amounts. The saturated hydraulic conductivity of the sands decreased markedly with ash addition. The changes in available water capacity and hydraulic conductivity were associated with an increase in capillary pores at the expense of non-capillary pores. Addition of fly ash to both sand fractions resulted in a bilinear relationship between void ratio (volume voids/volume solids) and fly ash percentage in the mixes which was closely related to that theoretically predicted for binary mixtures. The measured void ratios of the mixes exhibited minimum values at 36% and 20% ash by volume for the 'fine' and 'coarse' sand mixes respectively, which compared with the theoretical void ratios for these mixes of 27% and 23% respectively.

Chemical Composition Analysis

Fly-ashes are non-combustible mineral residues which are produced from coal in thermal power plants. Four different types of fly ashes were collected from different power station in Gujarat. Characterization through SEM shows that fly ash contains cenosphere i.e. gas bubble containing ceramic particle independent of their bulk density. Floatation technique was used for the separation of cenosphere from fly ash. Two solvents with extremely different densities were used for the separation of cenospheres. All methods gave approximately yield of less than 1 % cenosphere in fly ash. Color of cenospheres varied from gray to almost white and the value of density range from 0.4 – 0.8 g/cc. Further, chemical composition analysis revealed that cenospheres do not contain any high concentration of hazardous elements.
