This work reports on the separation of cenospheres from lignite fly ash through a wet separation process-the sink-float method. A better quality of cenospheres could be achieved through a physical–chemical approach using an acetone–water mixture as a medium. This work aimed to elucidate the correlation between the structure, morphology, and composition and medium fraction variables, with data for the freshly prepared and the reused mixtures presented for comparison. The work covers a study of the macrocomponent composition of an Fe2O3–SiO2–Al2O3 system, highlighting the pair dependences of SiO2–Al2O3, Al2O3–Fe2O3, and SiO2/Al2O3–Al2O3 and revealing an interesting result in terms of geochemical characteristics categorizing the collected cenosphere fractions separated from high-calcium class C fly ash produced from a lignite coal power plant in Thailand (as magnetic cenospheres). The CaO and SO3 contents increased monotonically with increased water content, particularly for the CaO composition profile, which was found to be similar to the increased carbonate concentration measured from the mixtures after use. The physicochemical properties in terms of the self-association ability of the acetone–water mixing phase is believed to have played an important role in determining the intermolecular interactions and reactivity of ions in the liquid phase, consequently affecting the separation efficiency, recovery yield, and quality of cenospheres.

The cenosphere is one becoming a focus of the power plant in terms of value addition and ash management. This study presents a systematic investigation and characterization of physical properties, morphological structures, and chemical composition of cenospheres separated from fly ash produced from the Mae Moh coal-fired power plant, Thailand. To our knowledge, this is the first report on cenospheres separation from Mae Moh class C fly ash, with high calcium content ~24 wt.%, by adopting the traditional wet separation method (using water as the medium) to separate the lightweight cenospheres. Various effects of process parameters (fly ash-to-water ratio, stirring method, ultrasonication, and size classification) were designed to examine the cenosphere recovery yield in comparison. The result has revealed the limit of physical stirring-settling effect associated with the cenospheres content by nature governing the percent recovery. The bulk cenospheres were subject to size sieving into different sized fractions, with the structure-chemical composition relationship established for more insight. The particle diameter/shell thickness ratio revealed its significant correlation with the aluminosilicate glass composition, with the relating cenosphere shell structures (single-ring and porous) mapped to compare for a better elucidation of their structure-property relationship. The phase composition was also studied.

Here the investigations are done while distillation of ethanol-water mixture for separating ethanol from fermentation process. Focus is to study reduction in time required and hence saving in energy for the distillation process of ethanol-water mixture under the influence of surface-active agents (Surfactants). This novelty is from observation of these surfactants to enhance heat transfer rate because of surface tension reduction in aqueous solutions. SDS (Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate), NH4Cl (Ammonium Chloride) and SLBS (Sodium lauryl benzene sulphonate) surfactants in different concentration are experimented. The concentration of these surfactant is varied from 1700 ppm to 2800 ppm. This range is decided by observing critical micelle concentration of used surfactants. Results showed that time is reduced and hence energy consumption is also reduced. Results shown by NH4Cl are found to be more useful as it is ecofriendly surfactant which is not affecting ethanol-water mixture. Use of ammonium chloride as surfactant in distillation is actually useful to reduce energy without hampering the quality of process is the novelty of this work.

Triboelectrostatic Separation

Background: The fly ash produced by coal-fired power plants is an industrial waste. The environmental pollution problems caused by fly ash have been widely of public environmental concern. As a waste of recoverable resources, it can be used in the field of building materials, agricultural fertilizers, environmental materials, new materials, etc. Unburned carbon content in fly ash has an influence on the performance of resource reuse products. Therefore, it is the key to remove unburned carbon from fly ash. As a physical method, triboelectrostatic separation technology has been widely used because of obvious advantages, such as high-efficiency, simple process, high reliability, without water resources consumption and secondary pollution. Objective: The related patents of fly ash triboelectrostatic separation had been reviewed. The structural characteristics and working principle of these patents are analyzed in detail. The results can provide some meaningful references for the improvement of separation efficiency and optimal design. Methods: Based on the comparative analysis for the latest patents related to fly ash triboelectrostatic separation, the future development is presented. Results: The patents focused on the charging efficiency and separation efficiency. Studies show that remarkable improvements have been achieved for the fly ash triboelectrostatic separation. Some patents have been used in industrial production. Conclusion: According to the current technology status, the researches related to process optimization and anti-interference ability will be beneficial to overcome the influence of operating conditions and complex environment, and meet system security requirements. The intelligent control can not only ensure the process continuity and stability, but also realize the efficient operation and management automatically. Meanwhile, the researchers should pay more attention to the resource utilization of fly ash processed by triboelectrostatic separation.

ABSTRACTThe physical and chemical properties of fly ash produced at Ottumwa Generating Station have been monitored since April, 1985. The fly ash is produced from burning a low sulfur, sub-bituminous coal obtained from the Powder River Basin near Gillette, Wyoming. One-hundred and sixty samples of fly ash were obtained during the two year period. All of the samples were subjected to physical testing as specified by ASTM C 311. About one-hundred of the samples were also subjected to a series of tests designed to monitor the self-cementing properties of the fly ash. Many of the fly ash samples were subjected to x-ray diffraction and fluorescence analysis to define the mineralogical and chemical composition of the bulk fly ash as a function of sampling date. Hydration products in selected hardened fly ash pastes, were studied by x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The studies indicated that power plant operating conditions influenced the compressive strength of the fly ash paste specimens. Mineralogical and morphological studies of the fly ash pastes indicated that stratlingite formation occurred in the highstrength specimens, while ettringite was the major hydration product evident in the low-strength specimens.

Growth And Reproduction

Fly ash is an amorphous ferroalumino silicate, an important solid waste around thermal power plants. It creates problems leading to environmental degradation due to improper utilization or disposal. However, fly ash is a useful ameliorant that may improve the physical, chemical and biological properties of soils and is a source of readily available plant macro and micronutrients when it is used with biosolids. Supply of nutrients from fly ash with biosolids may enhance their agricultural use. The growth and reproduction ofEisenia fetidawas studied during vermicomposting of fly ash with cowdung and pressmud in four different proportions (T1,T2,T3& T4) and one controli.e.,cow dung and pressmud alone. The growth, cocoon and hatchlings production were observed at the interval of 15 days over a period of 60 days. The maximum worm growth and reproduction was observed in bedding material alone. Next to that the T1was observed as the best mixture for vermiculture.
