Introduction. Asphalt mixtures are one of the most widely used materials in the construction of roads. For the production of these mixtures, mainly conditioned mineral materials are used — coarse aggregate, fine aggregate and filler, and bitumen is used as a binder. Problem statement. In Ukraine, the filler is mainly used material obtained by grinding the carbonate rocks, which is established in DSTU B V.2.7-119 and DSTU B V.2.7-121. At the same time, as a result of coal combustion, millions of tons of dusty waste are generated at power generating plants of Ukraine - fly ashes and ashes from the hydraulic mine dump. These materials are close by grading to the requirements for the filler in accordance with DSTU B V.2.7-121 and probably can be used for the production of asphalt mixtures. Purpose. Determination of the possibility of using the fly ashes for the production of asphalt mixtures. Materials and methods. Type B asphalt concrete and mineral fillers of different origins were used during the research. Results. Test results showed that the studied fly ashes can be used for the production of asphalt mixtures, because the complete replacement of limestone filler with fly ashes from the thermal power plants does not lead to the deterioration of asphalt mixtures properties.

Individual Particles

The properties of fly ashes vary because of the differences in the properties of their individual particles, and the determination of variation in these properties is of interest to the industries which use pulverized raw fly ash in applications, such as in cementitious materials and in the recovery of certain rare elements from raw fly ash. To investigate the differences in individual particles, four pulverized raw fly ashes from thermal power plants of the Czech Republic were used in this research. It was observed from FE-SEM that all four fly ashes consist of glassy hollow spherical, solid spherical, porous spherical, bright spherical, porous slaggy and compact slaggy particles. Box and whisker diagrams were plotted from the data of EDX individual particle analyses, which showed that the data of percentages for the Si, Al, and Fe elements is more scattered as compared to other elements. It was further observed from ternary phase diagrams and pseudo coloured images, that nature of fly ash particles changes from alumino silicate glassy to alumino silicate calcite metallic to pure ferro-metallic,where glassy particles showed high percentages and pure calcite particles were absent in fly ashes. Furthermore, a comparison between the XRF, the EDX total area analyses, showed that the EDX individual particle analysis gives more realistic and reliable data with median, mean, and the standard deviation for percentages of each element present in the fly ashes.

AbstractFly ashes of high magnetic content taken from two midwestern power plants were examined to determine the mineralogy of the magnetic and nonmagnetic fractions. Fly ash spheres from the magnetic fraction are predominantly composed of ferrite spinel, hematite and silicate glass. The hematite appears to be a replacement product of the original ferrite spinel. Nonmagnetic phases include mullite, lime, small amounts of hematite and silicate glass. Quartz morphology indicates that it did not fuse in the furnace. Mullite and lime have morphologies indicative of crystallization in the furnace. Hematite is bonded to the nonmagnetic particles or as a complete replacement of ferrite spinel spheres.

The Impact

The by-products of energy industry are nowadays often affected by new limits governing the production of harmful gases discharged into the air. These stricter and stricter criteria are often met by electricity producers by changing the combustion process in thermal power plants itself. Nowadays, the SNCR (selective non-catalytic reduction) application is quite common in the combustion process in order to help reduce the nitrogen oxide emission. This article deals with the primary measures of thermal power plants, which in particular consist of a modified treatment of raw materials (coal) entering the combustion process. These primary measures then often cause the formation of fly ash with unsuitable fineness for the use in concrete according to EN 450. The paper presents the comparison of the physico-mechanical parameters of several fly ashes with a different fineness values. The primary task is to assess the impact of non-suitable granulometry in terms of EN 450 on the other physico-mechanical parameters of fly ashes sampled within the same thermal power plant. Several fly ashes produced in the Czech Republic and surrounding countries were evaluated in this way.

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.

Day By Day

Since  the  construction  industry  is  developing  very  fast  the  requirement  of  concrete  and  their constituent  materials are also increasing day by day. Hence the need becomes in evitable to find various alternate means for the aggregate and accordingly the researchers are going on in this way. But the availability of fine aggregate becomes difficult day by day.  Hence the need arises to find alternative for the fine aggregate. The material which is known as bottom ash is available ash waste by-product material from the thermal power plants.  In  India  most  of  the  thermal  power plants  use  wet  system  for disposal of ash. Bottom ash will be generated as a residue after burning pulverised coal at boiler cyclone and collected from bottom ash hopper located under boiler structure. In this project work the material bottom ash is experimentally analysed and studied for its suitability as replacement as fine aggregate up to (0% to 50%). So far few researchers analysed its suitability as FA by finding the compressive strength of concrete. But  in  this  project  work the  split  tensile  strength  of  concrete  and  flexural  strength  of concrete were analysed by replacing bottom ash as fine aggregate.

 Experimental studies were carried out on fly ashes from two Indian thermal power plants, namely Rajghat and Dadri, with the aim of improving the utilization of fly ash in geotechnical engineering applications. It was attempted to improve the engineering performance of fly ash by several means such as by mixing fly ash with soils, cement, and polyester fibers. The research program included the study of: a) physical properties, chemical composition and morphology of the fly ashes; b) compaction, strength, and permeability characteristics of the fly ashes and fly ash-soil mixtures; c) compaction and strength characteristics of fly ash-soil mixtures stabilized with fibers alone, with cement alone, and with both cement and fibers. Results showed that addition of fly ash to soils would result in lighter and stronger fills. Fiber inclusions increased the strength of fly ash-soil specimens significantly and altered their behaviour from brittle to ductile. Even small cement contents increased the strength of the fly ash-soil mixtures significantly. With higher cement contents of up to 18% it was possible to prepare fly ash-cement design mixes that satisfied the strength criteria for pavement base courses.

The results of the detailed investigations of behavior of lignites Kolubara and Kovin, in fluidized bed combustion are presented in the paper. Investigation was carried out due to the interest of the Serbian Electric Power Production Company to use CFBC boilers in the process of refurbishment of old pulverized coal combustion boilers. As a part of a feasibility study for CFBC use in power plants in Serbia, investigation of combustion characteristics of lignites was performed using original methodology introduced many years ago by Laboratory for Thermal Engineering and Energy. Methodology was approved by numerous investigations of more than 20 Yugoslav coals for FBC combustion, with the aim to determine design data for bubbling FBC boilers. The main attention in present investigation was paid to the problem of using methodology developed for bubbling FBC in the conditions present in CFBC boilers. Four samples of Kolubara lignite, with heat capacity from 2.5 to 8.5 MJ/kg, and different ash contents were investigated, and also lignite Kovin in the same range of heat capacity. Investigations were performed in three phases: (1) ultimate and proximate analysis, determination of ash sintering temperature by standard method and in fluidized bed laboratory oven, (2) investigations in laboratory fluidized bed furnace and determination of coal particle fragmentation, burning rate, start-up temperature and self-sulfure-capture and (3) investigation of combustion in pilot-plant in stationary combustion conditions. In conclusion, suitability of results obtained in BFBC conditions is approved, and earlier statement that lignites are suitable for BFBC is confirmed by the statement that lignites are even more suitable for burning in CFBC boilers. Considering differences between combustion and flow conditions in bubbling and circulating FBC boilers, behavior of the lignites in CFBC is discussed in details and optimal regime parameters of the CFBC boilers are determined. The results obtained will be used by Serbian Electric Power Production Company for evaluation of bid for CFBC boiler implementation in refurbishment of old thermal power plants.
