A new electrostatic separator has been developed for the removal of unburned carbon from fly ash. In this separator, a flowing film of fly ash is created on the surface of a vibrating electrode. Conducting particles such as unburned carbon acquire electrostatic charges and jump out of the flowing film so that they can be removed from the non-conducting fly ash particles moving forward. The new separator has been tested successfully using a pilot-scale test unit at 0.5 tons/hr capacity. Based on the successful test results, a larger unit is being constructed at the present time.

Coal power plants produce electricity for the nation's power grid, but they also produce more hazardous air emissions than any other industrial pollution sources. The quantity is staggering, over 386,000 tons of 84 separate hazardous air pollutants spew from over 400 plants in 46 states. In South Korea also, annual coal ash generation from coal-fired power plants were about 6 million tons in 2015. Pollutants containing particulate matter 10, 2.5 (PM10, PM2.5), heavy metals and dioxins from coal-fired power plant. The emissions threaten the health of people who live near these power plants, as well as those who live hundreds of miles away. These pollutants that have long-term impacts on the environment because they accumulate in soil, water and animals. The present study is to investigate the physical and chemical characteristics of coal-fired power plant fly ash and bottom ash contains particulate matter, whose particulate sizes are lower than $PM_{10}$ and $PM_{2.5}$ and heavy metals. There are wide commercial technologies were available for monitoring the PM 2.5 and ultra-fine particles, among those carbonation technology is a good tool for stabilizing the alkaline waste materials. We collected the coal ash samples from different coal power plants and the chemical composition of coal fly ash was characterized by XRF. In the present laboratory research approach reveals that potential application of carbonation technology for particulate matter $PM_{10}$, $PM_{2.5}$ and stabilization of heavy metals. The significance of this emerging carbonation technology was improving the chemical and physical properties of fly ash and bottom ash samples can facilitate wide re use in construction applications.

This paper indicates the investigation about the development of ET (Environmental Technology) industrial geopolymeric materials from mixture silica mine waste, coal fly ash and alkali activator solution (sodium silicate) by the geopolymer technique at ambient temperature. The results showed that higher compressive strength of geopolymeric mortar increased with a reduce of L/S ratio and increased along with an increase of coal fly ash content. The compressive strengths of geopolymer mortar on low silica of C Silica Mine and K Silica Mine are 18.7 MPa, 20.4 MPa, respectively. Compressive strength of geopolymeric mortar depends on L/S ratio and coal fly ash content added.. Additionally, scanning electron microscope (SEM) techniques are used to characterize the microstructure of the geopolymeric mortars. SEM observation shows that it is possible to have amorphous aluminosilicate gel within mortar. XRD patterns indicate the fact that geopolymeric mortar is composed of amorphous aluminosilicate phase, calcite and quartz.

The aim of the research is to investigate the fundamental properties and heat of hydration reducing performance of the fly ash incorporated concrete mixture when the coal gas slag (CGS) from integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) is used as fine aggregate. From the results of the experiment, the workability was generally increased and the air content was decreased up to one to four percent with increasing the replacing ratio of CGS to fine aggregate. The compressive strength was similar or increased within five percent to the Plain mixture when the CGS was used as a fine aggregate. When the CGS and fly ash were used same time, the heat of hydration reducing performance was improved than single using cases either CGS or fly ash. Based on the results, for the concrete mixture using CSG as a portion of the combined fine aggregate, the general properties were improved and heat of hydration was decreased approximately 16 % when the fly ash was replaced 30 % to cement and the CGS was replaced less than 50 % to fine aggregate.

The importance of waste treatments is increasing because of the lack of resources and environmental problems resulted from economic growth policy. Especially, the pollutant dust which is one of the wastes should be treated considerately because it could cause secondary damages on the human health as well as environmental systems. Recently, massive amount of coal fly-ash is being produced in thermoelectric power plants. In this study, we compared two general methods used in estimating the amount of unburned carbon in fly-ashes to categorize the coal fly-ashes into several groups following their carbon contents. One is the "loss on ignition(KS L 5405) method" which estimates the change of mass after combustion, and it is generally used. Another one is measuring $CO_2$ gas content by burning solid carbon in the fly-ash, and it is called "$CO_2$ analysis method."

Coal ash, which is generated as a byproduct at a coal thermal power plant, can be classified into fly ash and bottom ash. Most of fly ash is recycled as an admixture for concrete, while bottom ash is not recycled but dumped into an ash landfill disposal site. So, if a technology for recycling bottom ash efficiently, which is increasingly generated year by year, is not developed, environmental problems will take place as a matter course and further an enormous economical cost will be required for construction of additional ash landfill disposal sites. In this study an optimum mix proportion design and a quality control method for utilizing the reclamation coal ash as an aggregate for secondary concrete products such as an artificial reef was successfully developed.

The purpose of this study was to examine a possibility that fly ash could be used as raw material for carbonation by conducting the experiment on magnetic separation and hydration of fly ash that contained a large amount of CaO composite. Wet magnetic separation experiment was performed to remove the component of magnetic substance that contained fly ash, which aimed at increasing the content of CaO in the non-magnetic domain. The selected fly ash was used for hydration experiment before the TG-DTA, XRF and XRD analyses were made to confirm the Ca component that could be carbonated. Then, the fly ash was turned to a hydrate that was favorable to dissociation of $Ca^{2+}$ ion. As a result, the magnetic separation enabled detecting the content of CaO component by up to 61 wt% in the non-magnetic domain. Since the hydrate was confirmed, it is believed that the fly ash can be used as raw material for carbonation.

대부분의 화력발전소에서 전기집진기의 각각의 호파에서 포집된 fly ash는 하나의 라인으로 수송되어 fly ash 원분 사이로에 저장된다. 필요량은 분급장치에 공급되어 기류식 분급기에 의해 정제회와 조분으로 분리되어 각각의 사이로 등에 저장된다. 그러나 전기집진기의 호파에 포집된 fly ash는 전기집진기의 후단 호파일수록 비표면적이 커지는 등 fly ash의 성질이 다르므로 전기집진기 호파 위치 자체가 분급 효과가 있는 것으로 생각할 수 있다. 본 연구는 화력발전소의 전기집진기 각각의 호파에서 채취한 fly ash의 물리적, 화학적, 광물학적 성질을 조사하여 전기집진기가 분급기로서의 가능성을 검토하였다. 그 결과 새로운 fly ash 분급 프로세스로 전기집진기의 호파의 위치별 채취를 제안하고 분급능력이 있다는 것을 확인하였다. 그리고 기류식 분급기로는 얻을 수 없는 고품질 fly ash를 획득하는 것도 가능하였다.

본 연구는 비회와 저회를 5:5 또는 6:4 까지의 적정비로 혼합한 석탄회를 도로 성토 및 노상재로서 도로 축조에 사용하기 위하여 다짐할 경우의 강도 및 내구성에 대해 검토한 것이다. 다짐한 직후의 강도는 유연탄 석탄회가 무연탄 석탄회보다 다소 크다. 재령에 따른 현저한 일축압축강도 증가는 유리된 석회의 양이 많이 함유된 호남 화력발전소의 석탄회에서만 관찰될 수 있었고, 나머지 4개 화력발전소의 석탄회에서는 강도 증가가 없거나 매우 적었다. 수침에 대한 내구성에 있어서도 호남석탄회의 경우는 만족한 결과를 보였으나, 나머지 4개 화력발전소의 석탄회는 2% 정도의 시멘트를 첨가함으로서 만족할 수 있었다. 또한, 비회와 저회를 별도로 사용하는 것보다 적정비율로 혼합하여 사용하는 것이 시멘트 첨가에 의한 강도 증대효과가 크다는 사실을 알 수 있었다.

Fly ash is the most common artificial pozzolan, which is a material precipitated electrostatically from the exhaust gases of coal-fired power stations. Fly ash can be used as the supplementary material as well as the material for high performance concrete and hence, the development of high-volume fly ash concrete is imperative. In this study, the characteristics of drying shrinkage of high volume fly ash concrete is investigated. It is found from test results that as the replaced amount of fly ash in concrete is increased, drying shrinkage of concrete is reduced.
