At present high temperature fly ashes are already quite widely used as a secondary raw material in building materials. Fly ashes are usually able to fully replace classical materials. FBC ashes also gradually finding their place for example in production of autoclaved aerated concrete, in binders or solidification of hazardous waste. However, the coarser types of energy by-products are relatively difficult to use. Therefore, this part of the work focused on the study of usability of bottom ashes for artificial sintered aggregates. The article will focus on results of laboratory firing in muffle furnace, dedicated to testing of maximum bottom ash content in the mixture with the fly ash and special type of clay.

Today the disposal of various by-product materials is a concern against the environment, these are producing due to rapid industrial growth in our country. Most of the researchers are focused on the utilization of these by-products in the civil engineering construction industry. By using these by-products, on one hand, will protect the environment and other hands the disposal problem will be solved. Day by day the requirement of building materials increased due to urbanization, due to this more raw materials are required and depleted the natural resources. In this contest, environmental protection is need to protect incremental temperature in nature. To avoid these problems of the modern era, aggregation of these by-products can be used as one of building material and to overcome this situation, Aerated concrete is one of the solutions by reducing the raw material quantity in concrete like sand and cement by introducing air without compromising in the volume. Day to day aerated concrete has become popular due to lightweight and high insulation against temperature and sound. This concrete is using in high raised buildings to reduce the self-weight of building to protect during earthquake situations. In this experimental study mainly performed the compressive strength of aerated concrete with replacement of sand by quarry dust. Also reducing the cement content with replacement of fly ash, GGBS and lime powder at various percentages that is ranging. the performance of aerated concrete was observed more satisfactory when compared with and without replacement of above-saided materials.

In a world is of ever-increasing pressure on the use of fly ash in building materials. Despite these efforts the majority of produced energy by-products end up as reclamation material and only small part as high-quality materials. Technology of sintered artificial aggregate is fully based on the fly ashes and allows processing a high percentage of this raw material. The work is devoted to assessing the impact of fly ash character on the quality artificial aggregate. There were selected three fly ashes from high-temperature combustion technology and two from the FBC combustion. The results clearly show that the FBC ashes are not too useful for sintered aggregate technology. For fly ashes is determined primarily by their fineness and the amount of amorphous silica phase.

Concrete is the most widely used building material and due to its use, water tightness is one of the factors essential for many constructions. Materials applied on concrete surface as secondary protection can have various forms. One of the material group with waterproofing ability, are materials on so called "crystalline technology base". As this material is cement-based its wide world production brings significant effect on environment. To bring on building materials market new materials should be considered its environmental friendlier production. One of the ways for this group of materials with crystalline abilities is replacing cement by other substituent, at best by secondary raw material. This would bring double advantage, lowering usage of cement and on the other hand use of already produced secondary raw material. This article deals with new developed materials based on "crystalline technology" with cement partly replaced by fly-ash substituent. At this article are presented results of new developed screed and coating modifications and its effectiveness on concrete waterproofing.

In this paper, compared with common fly ash, the low-silicon coal gangue fly ash is used to produce fly ash autoclaved aerated concrete. The influences of water binder ratio, coal gangue fly ash content, calcareous content and conditioning agents on the compressive strength of the autoclaved aerated concrete are investigated. The results indicate the coal gangue fly ash has different properties from the common fly ash such as its granule appearance and the activity as AAC siliceous raw material. It is noting that the coal gangue fly ash can also be used to prepare AAC blocks by optimizing the raw material formulation and procedure and its B05 product can reach the China top industrial standard.

The high carbon content of coal bottom ashes collected from several textile manufacturing plants in the Bandung area is indicative of an opportunity for energy utilization efficiency improvement by re-combustion of the bottom ashes. This research examines the technical feasibility of bottom ash utilization as a raw material for solid fuel briquette manufacturing. This paper discusses the measurement of the impact of bottom ash content on ignition time and crushing strength of the briquette. Bottom ash content is varied in the 0-50 %-weight range (binder and moisture-free basis). The ignition time of the briquette varies in the 4.4 – 9.9 minutes range. The ignition time of the briquette is proportional to its bottom ash content, due to the decrease in its volatile matter content. The crushing strength of the briquette varies in the 13.4 – 27.1 kgf/cm2 range, which is comparable to that of typical bulk sub-bituminous coals. A 10 %-weight addition of fresh coal powder to the briquette significantly increases its crushing strength, while further adition of coal powder does not significantly increase the crushing strength.Keywords : bottom ash, briquette, coal, energy efficiencyAbstrakTingginya kadar karbon dalam abu bawah batubara yang dihasilkan oleh boiler unggun tetap di sejumlah pabrik tekstil di wilayah Bandung mengisyaratkan peluang untuk meningkatkan efisiensi pembangkitan energi melalui pembakaran ulang abu bawah tersebut. Penelitian ini mengkaji kelayakan teknis pemanfaatan abu bawah sebagai bahan baku briket bahan bakar padat. Percobaan yang dilaksanakan bertujuan mengukur pengaruh kadar abu bawah dalam briket terhadap waktu penyalaan dan kekuatan mekanik produk briket. Kadar abu bawah divariasikan pada rentang 0-50 %-berat (basis bebas aditif perekat dan air). Waktu penyalaan briket berkisar pada 4,4 – 9,9 menit. Waktu penyalaan berbanding lurus dengan  kadar abu bawah  karena berkurangnya kadar zat terbang briket. Kuat remuk (crushing strength) briket berkisar pada  13,4-27,1 kgf/cm2, yang sepadan dengan kuat remuk batubara sub-bituminus bongkahan. Penambahan serbuk batubara segar sebesar 10 %-berat memberikan peningkatan kuat remuk yang signifikan, sementara penambahan lebih lanjut serbuk batubara segar tidak meningkatkan kuat remuk briket.Kata kunci : abu bawah, briket, batubara, efisiensi energi

Cold-bonded pelletizing technique is frequently used in aggregate manufacturing process as it can minimise the energy consumption. It has contributed to both economical and environmental advantages because it helps to reduce the gas emissions problems. Bottom ash collected from municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) plant was selected as raw material in this study and was utilised as a partial replacement for cement for artificial aggregate production. Several percentage of ash replacement was selected ranged from 10 to 50%. Aggregate pellets were subjected to different types of curing condition which is room-water (RW), room-room (RR), oven-room (OR) and oven-water (OW) condition. Properties of aggregate pellets were examined to obtain its density, water absorption, aggregate impact value (AIV) and specific gravity (SG). The results indicated that the most efficient curing regime is by exposing the aggregate in RW condition. The optimum aggregate was selected at 20% where it has satisfied the required density of 739.5kg/m3, and classified as strong aggregate with AIV 14. However, the water absorption of aggregate increased proportionately with the increment of ash content.

Due to its large mineral fraction, incineration bottom ash (IBA) from municipal solid waste incineration is an interesting raw material that can be used for road construction or to produce secondary building materials. However, leaching chloride, sulfate, and potentially harmful heavy metals may cause problems in using IBA in civil engineering. Investigating leaching behavior is crucial for the assessment of the environmental compatibility of IBA applications. Various test procedures are available for that purpose. In the present study, a long-term leaching test of a wet-mechanically treated IBA was performed in a lysimeter for almost six years. While concentrations of chloride, sulfate and the majority of the heavy metals started to decrease rapidly with advancing liquid-to-solid ratio (L/S), antimony (Sb) and vanadium (V) behaved differently. At the beginning of the lysimeter test, the Sb and V concentrations were low, but after approximately one year of operation at an L/S ratio of around 0.8 L/kg, a steady increase was observed. It was shown that this increase is the result of low Ca concentrations due to the formation of CaCO3. With the data, the solubility products from Ca-antimonate and Ca-vanadate were calculated. The unusual leaching behavior of Sb and V should be kept in mind when considering field scenarios and evaluating the impact on the environment.

Treatments to reduce the leaching of contaminants (chloride, sulfate, heavy metals) into the environment from bottom ash (BA) are investigated, as a function of the ash’s particle size (s). The aim is to make BA suitable for reuse as secondary raw material, in accordance with the legal requirements. Such treatments must be economically feasible and, possibly, have to use by-products of the plant (in this case, steam in excess from the turbine). For the sake of completeness and comparison, carbonation is performed on those BA particle size classes that are not positively responsive to steam washing. BA is partitioned into four different particle size classes (s ≥ 4.75, 4.75 > s ≥ 2, 2 > s ≥ 1 and s < 1 mm, corresponding to 36, 24, 13 and 27 wt%, respectively). In the case of s ≥ 2 mm (60 wt%), steam washing is effective in reducing to under the legal limits the leaching of chlorides, sulfate and heavy metals (Zn, Cu, Cd, Pb). It has been observed that steam washing causes both removal and dissolution of thin dust adherent to the BA’s surface. BA with 2 > s ≥ 1 (~13 wt% of total BA) requires a combination of steam washing and carbonation to achieve a leaching below the legal limits. The finest BA fraction, s < 1 mm (~27 wt% of total BA), is treated by carbonation, which reduces heavy metals leaching by 85%, but it fails to sufficiently curb chlorides and sulfates.
