The article analyses the influence of SiO2 and Al2O3 nanopowders on properties of ceramics consisting of fly ash from thermal power plants, glass waste, and clay binder. Based on studies of physical and mechanical properties of the obtained ceramics (ultimate compressive strength, ultimate three-point bending strength, wear resistance, and water absorption), the paper shows the positive influence of the nanoadditives. The optimal number of SiO2 and Al2O3 nanopowders in the formulation is 0.5 wt. % that has the strongest effect on ultimate compressive strength and water absorption of the fly ash ceramics samples. The direction of further research on improving the properties of ceramic products is an application of the Al2O3 nanopowder as more perspective nanoadditive using clay dispersant.

This research investigates the physical and mechanical properties of mortar incorporating fly ash (FA), which is by-product of Duyen Hai thermal power plant. Six mixtures of mortar are produced with FA at level of 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50% (by volume) as cement replacement and at water-to-binder (W/B) of 0.5. The flow, density, compressive strength, flexural strength, and water absorption tests are made under relevant standard in this study. The results have shown that the higher FA content increases the flow of mortar but significantly decreases the density of mixtures. The water absorption and setting time increases as the samples incorporating FA. Compressive strength of specimen with 10% FA is approximately equal to control specimen at the 91-day age. The flexural strength of specimen ranges from 7.97 MPa to 8.94 MPa at the 91-day age with the best result for samples containing 10% and 20% FA.

This paper deals with the evaluation of a partial replacement of cement by Czech fly ash in high strength floor screed in dosage of 10, 20, 30 and 40% and the assessment of the physical-mechanical properties such as compressive strength, water absorption and bulk density. Used fly ashes are from power plants Počerady, Opatovice and Tušimice. The experimental study showed that the use of Czech fly ash improves the compressive strength. The bulk density decreases and therefore water absorption increases. Reference samples become clearly the lowest compressive strength at age of 28 days (fc28). A significant increase in compressive strength (fc28) was observed in case of mix design with addition of 10% and 20% of fly ash Tušimice (10%ETU, 20%ETU) and 20% and 30% of fly ash Počerady (20%EPC, 30%EPC). The addition of 20% of fly ash Počerady (20%EPC) has noticeable influence on short-term compressive strength (measured at the age of 24 hours).

Bottom ash has been presented as a major problem of disposal throughout the world, since it is produced from the process of coal combustion in thermal power plants. However, its physical and chemical properties make the bottom ash an adequate potential construction material in variety of applications.The aim of the study was to investigate the possibility of utilization of bottom ash for production of ceramics compacts and to analyse the influence of the main process parameters and their interaction on the physical and mechanical properties of the final product. Consolidation of the powders was conducted on two bottom ash samples with particle size (S) -0.250+0.125 mm and -0.500+0.250 mm, pressing pressure (P) of 100 and 150 MPa and sintering temperature (T) of 1100 and 1150 oC. The density (r) and bending strength (s) of the dense bottom ash compacts were the response function. The optimization was performed through implementation of main effect plots, Pareto charts and 3D surface method using “Statgraphics Centurion” software package. The obtained model equations of the density and bending strength dependence from the main process parameters are solid basic data for modeling the process of ceramic production.

The technological properties of polymer-cement mixtures and the physical and mechanical properties of polymer-cement waterproofing coatings, depending on their quantitative and qualitative composition: the ratio of cement:sand (C:S), water-cement ratio (W/C) and the content of modifying additives, have been investigated using the method of experimental-statistical modeling. As a result of the implementation of B3 plan and the processing of experimental data, experimental statistical models were obtained that express the effect of the recipy on the properties of polymer-cement waterproofing mixtures and coatings: mobility, compressive strength, bending strength, adhesion and impact strength and water absorption. It was found that having the constant values of C:S and W/C modifying additives, namely redispersing polymer powder, powder polycarboxylate superplasticizer and microsilica are an important factor in the formation of the structure and properties of waterproofing coatings. The analysis of the models showed that the redispersing polymer powder and superplasticizer have a positive effect on he mobility of polymer-cement waterproofing mixtures, while silica fume has a negative effect on this indicator. The effect of modifiers on the physical and mechanical properties of waterproofing coatings is following: redispersing polymer powder and superplasticizer have a negative effect on the compressive strength, while microsilica increases this indicator; redispersing polymer powder and microsilica increase the flexural strength, while the superplasticizer has a negative effect on this indicator; all investigated modifiers increase adhesion and impact strength and decrease water absorption. Based on experimental-statistical models, diagrams were constructed, which are a graphical representation of the effect of the recipe on the properties of polymer-cement waterproofing mixtures, which enables to determine the areas of the recipe use with specified properties.

Due to rapid industrialization extensive quantity of waste materials like fly ash, silica fume, rice ash husk, and ferrochrome ash etc. are generated. Ferrochrome ash is generated from Ferro-alloy industry and fly-ash is produced in thermal power plants are alternative materials which have the potential of being utilized in concrete as a mineral admixture. The present investigation considers the combined influence on strength of concrete using various percentage fly ash and ferrochrome ash as partial replacement of cement. Experiments are carried out to get mechanical properties of ordinary Portland cement by replacement of fly ash by 10%, 20%, 30 % and 3% by ferrochrome ash. Mechanical properties are measured by determining compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength. It can be inferred from the study that a small amount of ferrochrome ash mixed with 30 % fly-ash gives higher compressive strength as compared to fly ash alone. Addition of ferrochrome ash also increases the split tensile strength of concrete. Since ferrochrome ash and fly-ash are both industrial waste, utilization of these waste materials reduced the burden of dumping and greenhouse gas and thereby produce sustainable concrete.

With a geological reserve of over 170 billion tons, coal is the most abundant energy source in Mongolia with six operating thermal power stations. Moreover, in Ulaanbaatar city over 210000 families live in the Ger district and use over 800000 tons of coal as a fuel. The three thermal power plants in Ulaanbaatar burn about 5 million tons of coal, resulting in more than 500000 tons of coal combustion by-products per year. Globally, the ashes produced by thermal power plants, boilers, and single ovens pose serious environmental problems. The utilization of various types of waste is one of the factors determining the sustainability of cities. Therefore, the processing of wastes for re-use or disposal is a critical topic in waste management and materials research. According to research, the Mongolian capital city's air and soil quality has reached a disastrous level. The main reasons for air pollution in Ulaanbaatar are reported as being coal-fired stoves of the Ger residential district, thermal power stations, small and medium-sized low-pressure furnaces, and motor vehicles. Previously, coal ashes have been used to prepare advanced materials such as glass-ceramics with the hardness of 6.35 GPa, geopolymer concrete with compressive strength of over 30 MPa and zeolite A with a Cr (III) removal capacity of 35.8 mg/g. Here we discuss our latest results on the utilization of fly ash for preparation of a cement stabilized base layer for paved roads, mechanically activated fly ash for use in concrete production, and coal ash from the Ger district for preparation of an adsorbent. An addition of 20% fly ash to 5-8% cement made from a mixture of road base gave a compressive strength of ~ 4MPa, which exceeds the standard. Using coal ashes from Ger district prepared a new type of adsorbent material capable of removing various organic pollutants from tannery water was developed. This ash also showed weak leaching characteristics in water and acidic environment, which opens up an excellent opportunity to utilize.

Modification of the composition and structure of heavy concrete with the use of a complex chemical-mineral additive consisting of fly ash from thermal power plants, a superplasticizer, a high-valence hardening accelerator AC and a fine-dispersed clinker component is considered. Modified concrete is characterized by an increase in compressive strength at a brand age by 67%, a decrease in the water content of a concrete mixture by 13.6% and an improvement in its workability by 11-12 cm. With the combined use of a superplasticizer and a high-valence hardening accelerator AC a significant synergistic effect is observed in the format of enhancing their plasticizing effect. The high efficiency of the application of the mixed-dispersed clinker component has been established.

An attempt to use „Tetra Pak” waste material in particleboard technology. The study investigates the effect of addition Tetra Pak waste material in the core layer on physical and mechanical properties of chipboard. Three-layer chipboards with a thickness of 16 mm and a density of 650 kg / m3 were manufactured. The share of Tetra Pak waste material in the boards was varied: 0%, 5%, 10% and 25%. The density profile was measured to determine the impact of Tetra Pak share on the density distribution. In addition, the manufactured boards were tested for strength (MOR, MOE, IB), thickness swelling and water absorption after immersion in water for 2 and 24 hours. The tests revealed that Tetra Pak share does not affect significantly the value of static bending strength and modulus of elasticity of the chipboard, but it significantly decreases IB. Also, it has been found that Tetra Pak insignificantly decreases the value of swelling and water absorption of the chipboards.

Major infrastructure projects require significant amount of natural materials, often followed by the soft soil stabilization using hydraulic binders. This paper presents the results of a laboratory study of alternative waste materials (fly ash and slag) that can be used for earthworks. Results of high plasticity clay stabilization using fly ash from Serbian power plants are presented in the first part. In the second part of the paper, engineering properties of ash and ash-slag mixtures are discussed with the emphasis on the application in road subgrade and embankment construction. Physical and mechanical properties were determined via following laboratory tests: Specific gravity, grain size distribution, the moisture–density relationship (Proctor compaction test), unconfined compressive strength (UCS), oedometer and swell tests, direct shear and the California bearing ratio (CBR). The results indicate the positive effects of the clay stabilization using fly ash, in terms of increasing strength and stiffness and reducing expansivity. Fly ashes and ash-slag mixtures have also comparable mechanical properties with sands, which in combination with multiple other benefits (lower energy consumption and CO2 emission, saving of natural materials and smaller waste landfill areas), make them suitable fill materials for embankments, especially considering the necessity for sustainable development.
