High-calcium fly ash (FH) is the combustion residue from electric power plants burning lignite or sub-bituminous coal. As a mineral admixture, FH can be used to produce high-strength concrete and high-performance concrete. The development of chemical and mechanical properties is a crucial factor for appropriately using FH in the concrete industry. To achieve sustainable development in the concr...

The cold in-place recycling (CIPR) is a process where the existing bituminous pavement is recycled without application of heat. In CIPR process the scarified material from the existing pavement is crushed to the required gradation and binder in cold form (emulsion or cutback or foamed bitumen) is added. Externally acquired Reclaimed Bituminous Pavement (RBP) or fresh aggregates are also added d...

The fate of char-N (nitrogen removed from the coal matrix during char oxidation) has been widely studied at fluidized bed conditions. This work extends the study of char-N to pulverized coal conditions. Coal chars from five parent coals were prepared and burned in a laboratory-scale pulverized coal combustor in experiments designed to identify the parameters controlling the fate of char-N. The ...

Coal fly ash obtained from a local power station was used as an adsorbent in the removal of sulphates aqueous solution. The coal characterised using x-ray fluorescence (XRF) which revealed that it class C and sub-bituminous type ash, x—ray diffractometer (XRD) dominance large amorphous phase Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) showed presence both organic inorganic functional groups....

The non-isothermal thermogravimetric method (TGA) was applied to a bituminous coal (PT), two types of biomass, chestnut residues (CH) and olive stones (OS), and coalbiomass blends in order to investigate their thermal reactivity under steam. Fuel chars were obtained by pyrolysis in a fixed-bed reactor at a final temperature of 1373 K for 30 min. The gasification tests were carried out by thermo...
