Ash Disposal

A main problem related to coal ash disposal is the heavy metal content of the residue. In this regard, experimental results of numerous studies have indicated that toxic trace metals may leach when fly ash and bottom ash contacts with water. In this study, fly ash and bottom ash samples obtained from Kemerköy thermal power plant, located on the south-western coast of Turkey, were subjected to toxicity tests such as the extraction procedures (EP) and toxicity characteristic leaching procedures (TCLP) of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA), the so-called Method A extraction procedure of the American Society of Testing and Material (ASTM). When Pb and Cd concentrations, analysed according to EP and TCLP, were considered, Kemerköy fly and bottom ash can be classified as a hazardous waste under the principles of the Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). Based on the geochemical analyses carried out, it was also determined that several toxic trace elements, such as Pb, Zn, Cd, Cu and Co were enriched at the fly and bottom ash of Kemerköy thermal power plant.

The study involves evaluation of quality of groundwater and soil near the Thermal power plant located in Udupi District, Karnataka, India based on seasonal variation. 24 samples of ground water and soil were collected during Pre-Monsoon, Post- Monsoon and Monsoon Seasons from the places which are surrounding the Thermal Power plant. Collected Ground water samples were tested for detection of various heavy metal concentrations such as Ni, Fe, Mn, Cr, and Pb and soil samples were detected for Ni, Fe, Mn, Cr, Pb, Cd and Co. Collected soil samples were sieved according to different Standard sieve size. After sieving, soil samples were digested using tri-acids (Nitric Acid, Hydrogen peroxide and Concentrated Hydrochloric acid). Both Ground water and Soil samples were analysed for heavy metal contamination by using Atomic Absorptive Spectrometry. From the results obtained for Pre-Monsoon, Post-Monsoon and Monsoon Season it showed that concentration of heavy metals in the samples were exceeding the permissible limit prescribed by WHO and BIS. Hence preliminary treatment should be done before discharging in to Ash ponds.

Ash Disposal

Thermal power plant generates a huge amount of fly ash on combustion of coal which is becoming a major environmental issue. Thermal power plants are greatly facing a fly ash management problem. Open dumping of fly ash can deteriorate the groundwater quality by runoff. In the present investigation, the ground water samples were collected from nearby areas of Parichha Thermal Power Plant at six locations during the period of Jan 2014 to May 2014. The samples were taken to the laboratory and analyzed for physico-chemical properties and heavy metal content. The physico-chemical analysis was done for the parameters like pH, Turbidity, Temperature, Electrical Conductivity, Alkalinity, Total Dissolved Solids, Total Hardness, Calcium Hardness and Magnesium Hardness. The concentration of Turbidity, EC and Alkalinity was exceeding the standard at all locations and shows that the groundwater of the area is not fit for drinking. The ground water samples were also analyzed for the presence of lead and cadmium and it was found that lead was exceeding the limit although cadmium was found within the limit.

The present study focused on the groundwater contamination due to fly ash disposal of coal-fired thermal power plant into a non-liner ash pond. Tendubhata were selected as study site around ash pond of Marwa thermal power plant. Groundwater samples were collected on random basis using composite sampling method. Ten heavy metals (Ca, Cu, Cd, Cl, Zn, Pb, Ni, Cr, Mn, and Fe) were detected in coal, fly ash, and groundwater samples. Heavy metal concentration in coal and fly ash was assessed by Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence, while AAS was used for groundwater assessment. The observed results revealed the exceeding value of heavy metals prescribed by WHO for groundwater.
