Leachate Chemistry of Mixtures of Fly Ash and Alkaline Coal Refuse
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the past, acid mine drainage (AMD) associated with coal mining operations and the disposal of coal refuse have been a driving force behind research efforts on the properties of coal combustion products (CCPs) [1]. The results from research over the last 15 years clearly indicate that bulk-blended CCP has the potential to ameliorate AMD production in coal refuse as long as acid-base balance concerns are met [1,2].

متن کاملEvaluation of Leaching Protocols for Testing of High-Carbon Coal Fly Ash–Soil Mixtures
Beneficial reuse of coal combustion byproducts, e.g., in highway construction, requires an evaluation of metal leaching potential. Metal leaching from high-carbon fly ash in soil mixes typical of highway embankment construction was evaluated using different soil-fly ash mixtures and three common leaching tests: the water leach test (WLT), the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP), a...

Abstract: A greenhouse study was conducted to assess growth and elemental uptake by canola (Brassica napus) on acidic soils amended with four chemically different unweathered fly ashes. The ashes were incorporated into the top 10 cm of 1 m long intact soil cores at the rates of 0, 12, 36 and 108 Mg ha. The objective of this study was to characterise growth responses and distribution of B, Mo an...

This study investigates the feasibility of using coal fly ash and fly ash-bentonite mixtures as a barrier material for mine waste. The hydraulic conductivity of the coal fly ash was measured to be in the order of 2 x 10 -9 m/s when it was permeated with deionized water, and this value decreased significantly when the permeant was switched to acid mine drainage (AMD). Addition of bentonite to co...
متن کاملPotential Use of Surfactant-Modified Zeolite for Attenuation of Trace Elements in Fly Ash Leachate
Large volumes of fly ash and other coal combustion products (CCPs) are produced every year by coal-fired power plants. About 50% of the CCPs produced in the U.S. is buried in impoundment lagoons or dry landfills. Fly ash is generally enriched in several potentially hazardous trace elements, such as As, B, Cd, Co, Cr, Mo, Se, Sr, and V, which can leach from older, unlined disposal sites. Therefo...
