The influence of fly ash adittion (90 % fraction [ 100 mm) on the cement mortar characteristics was studied. The XRD, XRF, SEM and FTIR determinations indicated that fly ash used has a hollow microstructure of microsphere and cenosphere whose total content in SiO2, Al2O3 and Fe2O3 is 88.63 % and that of CaO and MgO of 8.55 %. The mechanical, thermal and dielectric determinations made on mortar samples with content of fly ash in the 0-40 % range have highlighted fact that the mechanical strength of cement mortars is maximal at 20 %, the increase in fly ash content leads to a decrease in relative density and thermal conductivity as well as and to increased dielectric losses tgd.

In this work, the physical & chemical properties of bottom ash generated from power plant are analyzed. Characteristic mortar property and thermal conductivity for building material were investigated with content of added bottom ash. According to the analytic result of bottom ash, chemical compositions of bottom ash is similar to those of fly ash and compressive strength after 7days related to pozzolanic activity shows 2.5N/cm2 and it is confirmed that bottom ash possess a certain amount of moisture activity. Although the fluidity of cement mortar is rapidly decreased with increasing addition of bottom ash, compressive strength for 3 and 7days is increased. The thermal conductivity is not sensitive to the addition of bottom ash.

Abstract Combustion of coal in thermal power plants generates Ash as a residue, which depends on the quality of coal, specific to its ash content and calorific value. In a typical Indian scenario, a standard 210 MW thermal plant produces ~57 T hr−1total ash, which has 80:20 fly and bottom ash share, considering coal with 40% ash content. This study aims to harness the waste heat of fly ash collected at the bottom of the Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP) by coupling Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) with 210 MW subcritical coal-fired thermal power plant works on R134a. Thermodynamic properties of R134a are taken from the PYroMAT library (PYTHON 3.6) to develop a computer-based program that estimates the variability of key parameters with respect to Log Mean Temperature Difference (LMTD). The main plant's efficiency was 28.714%, with main steam pressure, reheat pressure, and temperature being about 134.35 bar, 24.02 bar, and 540oC, respectively, and combustion of coal is about 141.5 T hr−1. The study shows additional generation from fly ash waste heat is about 30.5 kW with an increase in net power output (0.0145%) and net energy efficiency (0.0146%). The Optimum value of LMTD for the Evaporator, Condenser and Recuperator is 40, 7, and 16 K, which yields the optimum energy efficiency and developed cost-effective design. The proposed system is economically analyzed, considering 25 years of equipment life and 14% of loan interest. The study shows that the payback period and the generation cost of electricity of ORC is about 6.22 years and INR 3.14 per kWh, respectively.

This work reports on the incorporation of Flint and Kaolin rocks powders in the cement mortar in an attempt to improve its mechanical properties and produce an eco-friendly mortar. Flint and Kaolin powders are prepared by dry mechanical milling. The two powders are added separately to the mortars substituting cement partially. The two powders are found to improve the mechanical properties of the mortars. Hardness and compressive strength are found to increase with the increase of powders constituents in the cement mortars. In addition, the two powders affect water absorption and thermal conductivity of the mortar specimens which are desirable for construction applications. Kaolin is found to have a greater effect on the mechanical properties, water absorption, and thermal conductivity of the mortars than Flint. This behavior is discussed and analyzed based on the compositional and structural properties of the rocks powders.

Given the amount of industrial waste produced and collected in the world today, a recycling and recovery process is needed. The study carried out on this subject focuses on the valorization of one of these industrial wastes, namely the fly ash produced by an ultra-supercritical coal power plant. This paper describes the use and recovery of fly ash as a high percentage reinforcement for the development of a new high-performance composite material for use in various fields. The raw material, fly ash, comes from the staged combustion of coal, which occurs in the furnace of an ultra-supercritical boiler of a coal-fired power plant. Mechanical compression, thermal conductivity, and erosion tests are used to study the mechanical, thermal, and erosion behavior of this new composite material. The mineralogical and textural analyses of samples were characterized using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). SEM confirmed the formation of a new composite by a polymerization reaction. The results obtained are very remarkable, with a high Young’s modulus and a criterion of insulation, which approves the presence of a potential to be exploited in the different fields of materials. In conclusion, the composite material presented in this study has great potential for building material and could represent interesting candidates for the smart city.

This research studies the potential for using waste ash from industrial and agricultural by-products as a pozzolanic material. Classified fly ash (FA) and ground rice husk ash (RA) were the materials used. Water requirement, compressive strength and porosity of cement mortar were investigated. Test results indicated that FA and RA (waste ash) have a high potential to be used as a good pozzolanic material. The water requirement of mortar mix decreases with the increases in fly ash content. For ground rice husk ash (RA), the water requirement of mortar mix increases with the increases in rice husk ash content. In addition, the reduction in porosity was associated with the increase in compressive strength.

The article considers a technical solution for the introduction of pozzolan additives into the cement after grinding clinker. Such additives are the fly ash of the CHP and ash from the ash dump. The use of ash in the composition of cement reduces its cost and energy intensity of its production
