Chemical and physical transformations of coal ash during combustion and deposition in gas turbine environments have been studied. Extensive characterization of the coal-water mixture fuel and deposits obtained on deposition pins and turbine nozzle vanes has been performed. The behavior of alkali metals has been found to be much different from that for petroleum fuels, resulting in lower than expected deposition and probable reduced corrosion rates.

INTRODUCTION Environmental calamities such as tanker truck crashes and pipeline leaks do not always occur in well populated areas. Tanker truck crashes can occur on remote mountain passes or lonely stretches of highway. Pipeline leaks can occur in distant areas of open range or other isolated locations. Treatment of these spills requires the ability to clean up the contamination with very few standard resources. Often these sites will not have access to electricity or cellular service and just getting to the location of the spill can require a long drive from the nearest town. These restrictions can often limit treatment options to those that can be completed quickly and without needing long term access to the site. The remediation of petroleum fuels spilled during several tanker truck roll-overs will be discussed below, along with the obstacles presented by each site and the innovations needed to complete the remediation.
