Effect of High-Carbon Fly Ash on the Electrical Resistivity of Fly Ash Concrete Containing Carbon Fibers

Two series, each consisting of seven high-volume fly ash concrete mixtures with conductive carbon fibers, were used in this investigation. The first series of the concrete mixtures contained ASTM Class C fly ash and 0, 1, 3, 5, 7.5, 10, and 20 lbs. carbon fibers per cubic yard of concrete. The second series of concrete mixtures contained high-carbon fly ash in addition to the materials used in ...

High temperature behavior of electrostatic precipitator ash from municipal solid waste combustors.

Municipal solid waste (MSW) flue gas residues require further treatment prior to disposal or reuse, and vitrification is one of the main solidification-stabilization processes. This paper investigates the high temperature behavior of MSW flue gas residues, performed in laboratory experiments up to 1400 degrees C, and coupled with thermogravimetric analyses, X-ray diffraction, chemical and elect...

Role of Electrostatic Precipitator in Industry

Electrostatic Precipitators (ESP) are most important device used to control the pollution by collecting dust particles present on flue gases. In power plants, Coal used in Indian thermal power stations is of inferior grade, at power plant flue gas is often treated with a series of chemical process and scrubbers, having low calorific value (3500-4500)kcal/kg and high ash content due to drift ori...
