This paper presents results of investigation the possibility of replacing the mineral filler with fly ash from power plant “Gacko” in the bituminous aggregate mixture BNS 22A. The most important physical-mechanical properties of bituminous aggregate mixture with fly ash from power plant “Gacko” used as filler were investigated. Based on the results obtained it was concluded that fly ash from po...

Due to the clinkerization process during Portland cement production, large amounts of CO2 are emitted, increasing effects related climate change (approximately 5-10% global emissions come from production), consequently, seek for alternatives mitigate these high necessary. The use supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) partial replace Portand clinker/cement has been subject different researc...

Rapid industrialization results in increased use of natural resources bring along serious ecological and environmental imbalance due to the dumping of industrial wastes. Principles of sustainable construction have to be accepted with regard to the consumption of natural resources and the production of harmful emissions. Cement is a great importance raw material in the building industry and toda...

The market for mats and blankets made from natural fibers is a rapidly growing segment of the erosion control industry. In south Louisiana, bagasse is a local, readily available material with properties that make it suitable for erosion control products. In the framework of work towards diversifying the sugarcane industry, a prototype of a simple continuous device to produce erosion control mat...

Fly ash resistivity is a single parameter which has got significant impact over sizing and performance of Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP) in coal based thermal power plants. A fly ash resistivity measurement facility has been set up at IIT Delhi with the support of National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), USA and USAID-India. The fly ash samples from different power plant are being collec...

Basic properties of fly ash samples from different urban waste combustion facilities in China were analyzed using as X-ray fluorescence (XRF), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD). The leaching toxicity procedure and some factors influencing heavy metals distribution in fly ash were further investigated. Experimental results indicate that the fly ash structures are comple...

UNLABELLED Disruptions to the microbiome can impact host health as can exposure to environmental contaminants. However, few studies have addressed how environmental contaminants impact the microbiome. We explored this question for frogs that breed in wetlands contaminated with fly ash, a by-product of coal combustion that is enriched in trace elements. We found differences in the bacterial comm...

~. Generation of electricity by coal-f~ed power plants produces large quantities of bottom ash and fly ash. New power plants commonly use fluidized bed combustion (FBC) boilers, which create ashes with high neutralization potential (NP). These ashes, due to their alkaline nature, are often used in surface mine reclamation projects to neutralize acidity and reduce hydraulic conductivity of distu...

luminium based composite are getting a vast scope nowadays because of its properties and availability. In the present work, fly ash and AL2O3 reinforced composite are prepared using stir casting technique for varying wt.% (fly ash 3% and AL2O3 3%, 6% & 9%). Hardness and tensile properties were determined, with the addition of reinforcement the properties are improved compared to the parent meta...

Fly ash generated from low NOx burners at American Electric Power's Glen Lyn facility was beneficiated to remove residual carbon, magnetic particles, and cenospheres. The clean fly ash had a mean particle size of about 30 microns, which is coarser than typical commercial fillers used in plastics. To obtain a finer sized fly ash, air classification was used to separate the clean fly ash into its...
