Abstract: Fly ash, a waste by-product obtained in a thermal power plant has been a generated problem of the disposal all over the world. Morphological characteristics, physicochemical properties and pozzolanic activity make this waste potential material for production of ceramics. In this study high density ceramics compacts were produced by using fly ash from the power plant REK Bitola, Republic of Macedonia. In order to increase geometrical factor of activity, the mechanical activation of the fly ash was applied. The process of optimization of the main process parameters is conducted, such as time of mechanical activation, sintering temperature and heating rate and their interactions on the properties of obtained dense ceramic porosity and bending strength as a response function. The optimization was performed through application of 3D surface method and the obtained results are presented in the graphical and analytical form using “Statgraphics Centurion” software package.

A main problem related to coal ash disposal is the heavy metal content of the residue. In this regard, experimental results of numerous studies have indicated that toxic trace metals may leach when fly ash and bottom ash contacts with water. In this study, fly ash and bottom ash samples obtained from Kemerköy thermal power plant, located on the south-western coast of Turkey, were subjected to toxicity tests such as the extraction procedures (EP) and toxicity characteristic leaching procedures (TCLP) of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA), the so-called Method A extraction procedure of the American Society of Testing and Material (ASTM). When Pb and Cd concentrations, analysed according to EP and TCLP, were considered, Kemerköy fly and bottom ash can be classified as a hazardous waste under the principles of the Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). Based on the geochemical analyses carried out, it was also determined that several toxic trace elements, such as Pb, Zn, Cd, Cu and Co were enriched at the fly and bottom ash of Kemerköy thermal power plant.

The problems of increasing the reactivity of fly ash of the Apatity thermal power plant in the reactions of geopolymerization occurring under the influence of mechanical activation were considered. The effect of the normal and hydrothermal curing of fly ash activated with sodium hydroxide solution on the strength of the resulting geopolymers was studied.

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.

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.

Millions tons of coal ash which constitute of fly ash and bottom ash were produced annually throughout the world. They were significant to be developed as masonry brick to substitute the existing widely used traditional material such as clay and sand brick which were produced from depleting and dwindling natural resources. In the present study, the coal ash from coal-fired thermal power plant was used as the main raw material for the fabrication of cementless unfired lightweight brick. The binder comprising of Hydrated Lime (HL)-activated Ground Granulated Blastfurnace Slag (GGBS) system at binding ratio 30:70, 50:50 and 70:30 were used to stabilize the coal ash in the fabrication process of the brick. Foam was used to lightweight the brick. The compressive strength and ambient density were evaluated on the brick. The results indicated that the brick incorporating HL-GGBS system achieved higher strength of 20.84N/mm2 at 28 days compare to the HL system with strength of 13.98N/mm2 at 28 days. However, as the quantity of foam increase at 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%, the strength and density for the brick decreased.

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
