The possibility of utilizing treated coal bottom ash as a partial replacement of Portland cement was examined through compressive strength test on mortar samples. A total of 16 batches of mortar mixtures with cement:sand ratio of 1:2.5 and 1:2.75 were prepared using two types of treated coal bottom ash. The chemical compositions including the unburned carbon of coal bottom ash were also analyzed. In order to remove the excess unburned carbon which will affect the potential pozzolanic properties, the coal bottom ash was heated at 550 ± 50oC and 700 ± 50°C for 60 min in an electrical furnace.The results showed that compressive strength of mortar mixtures with cement:sand ratio of 1:2.5 and 1:2.75 containing treated coal bottom ash which was heated at 550oC results in an increase in compressive strength. At 10% and 20% of treated coal bottom ash replacement levels to Portland cement, the compressive strength of the mortar mixture was significantly improved at the age of 28 days. The compressive strength of the mortar mixtures at early ages gives lower strength as compared to the plain Portland cement mortar. However, the effect of treated coal bottom ash that was heated at 700°C is to reduce the compressive strength of the mortar mixtures except for mixture with cement:sand ratio of 1:2.5 containing 10% coal bottom ash at 56 days.

Utilization and suitability of bottom ash in Portland cement have been increasing significantly in recent year. Bottom ash has substantial effects on mechanical properties with different composition of replacement in mixture of bottom ash and Portland cement. Bottom ash was used to determine the feasibility of the substitution as recycling product from industry depending on the percentage of the bottom ash. On the other hand, bottom ash offers a better solution for maintaining materials characteristic of Portland cement mortar and also provide beneficial mechanical performance. The result of using bottom ash in Portland cement mortar showed that it could make better the mechanical properties and hence disposed bottom ash wastes safely in technical, economic and environmental methods.

Concrete is produced increasingly worldwide and accounting 10-20% emission of carbon dioxide. The potential long term opposing cost of environmental effects need to recognize. Residue of coal combustion ashes especially bottom ash will use to develop reuse application. This study focused on compressive strength of several composition of bottom ash as cement replacement in mortar. Curing of cement mortar techniques and duration also plays an important role and effects on the strength. The objective of this research is to examine the compressive strength of bottom ash in Portland cement under various compositions and fineness of bottom ash.

Coal fly ash (CFA), coal bottom ash (CBA) are residues produced in thermo-electrical power stations as result of the coal combustion in the same boiler. Therefore, some characteristics of the coal fly ash (CFA) are comparable with those of the coal bottom ash (CBA). Nevertheless, coal bottom ash size is larger than coal fly ash one. Consequently, it was found that it is necessary to grind the coal bottom ash (CBA) to reach a similar size to that one of the CFA. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the performance of Portland cement mortars made with coal fly ash (CFA), coal bottom ash (CBA) or mixes (CFA+CBA), against sulphate attack. The methodology is based on the expansion of slender bars submerged in a sodium sulphate solution (5%) according to the ASTM C-1012/C1012-13 standard. It has been found that mortars elaborated with CEM I 42.5 N (without ashes) presented the largest expansion (0.09%) after a testing period of 330 days. Mortars made with CEM II/A-V exhibited lower expansion (0.03%). Summing up, it can be established that mortar expansion decreases when the coal ash amount increases, independently of the type of coal ash employed. The novelty of this paper relies on the comparison between the performances of Portland cement mortars made with coal fly ash (CFA) or coal bottom ash (CBA) exposed to external sulphate attack. Doi: 10.28991/cej-2021-03091640 Full Text: PDF
