Vast quantities of ash are produced in coal combustion power stations annually. Including aluminosilicate matrix, all ashes also contain unburned carbon (UC) of varying amounts; in some ashes it can exceed 10% (or even 45% in stoker boilers). High UC levels in ash does not only constitute an energy loss during combustion, it can also …

The major commercial technology for the production of smelter grade alumina has conventionally been the Bayer process which converts bauxite ore, an aluminum containing ore which typically contains about 50 % Al2O3, into smelter grade alumina that contains over 99.0 % Al2O3. Another potential source of aluminum that is …
As mentioned above, the moisture content in biomass is high compared with coal. Biomass usually has less fixed carbon (FC) and more VM than coal, and it also has a lower ash content. Biomass typically has a VM/FC ratio of >4.0, whereas the VM/FC ratio for coal is almost always <1.0 ( Tillman, 2000).
The effect of moisture content and enriched air is also presented. The cold gas efficiency with air varies from 71.3 to 76.3%, whereas it ranges from 78.63 to 84.2% when gasified with O 2. Such high efficiency values show that gasification can be an alternative to exploit the energy content of low-rank coals.
What is beneficial use? Beneficial use is the recycling or reuse of coal ash in lieu of disposal. For example, coal ash is an important ingredient in the manufacture of concrete and wallboard (also known as drywall), and EPA supports the responsible use of coal ash in this manner. This final rule supports the responsible recycling of coal ash ...
This paper explores the link between the coal mineralogy and the mineralogy of the corresponding clinkers/coarse ash. CCSEM and XRD results indicate that kaolinite (Al2 Si 2 O 5 (OH) 4) and to a lesser extent quartz (SiO 2) are the major coal minerals. Minor minerals are calcite (CaCO3 ), dolomite (CaMg (CO 3) 2) and pyrite (FeS 2).
At a heating temperature of 700 °C, the biomass yield of biochar from stems was 28.4 ± 0.5% and from seed husks was 30.6 ± 0.6%. At that time, the carbon concentration in fiber hemp stems ...
Coal's non-gaseous remnants, coal ash, contain arsenic, lead, mercury, and other heavy metals that are known to cause cancer, developmental disorders, and reproductive issues. The American Coal ...
The real-time ash content measurement is the fundamental condition for the timely adjustment and intelligent control of operation parameters in coal production and …
To determine the content of unburned carbon in fly ash, 15% of HCl solution was used to remove the inorganic carbon within the ash [4], [46], after which the residues were dried and analyzed by an elemental analyzer. The petrographic components in coal and ash samples were examined following the methods as reported by Hower [16], [47]. …
Tukey's test was used to determine if a significant difference (p < 0.05) existed in the PM emission factor (Fig. 1) analysis within the same raw and carbonized material of each feedstock or in the K and Na content analysis (Table 3) in the ash and heated ash samples of the RH, RS, and DM. A correlation test between the PM emission …
Purpose: This study evaluates the potential of biomass ash as raw clinker material and the influence of biomass feedstock and thermal conversion technology on biomass ash properties.Methods: A set of criteria for biomass feedstock and ash properties (i.e. CaO/SiO 2 ratio and burnability) are established. A large dataset was …
