Coal fly ash (hereafter termed fly ash) is a by-product of the combustion of bituminous, sub-bituminous or lignite coals which are burnt in coal-fired thermal power plants to generate electricity (Gupta et al. 2004; Jala and Goyal 2006).Coal is still the most widely used source of energy for electricity generation in the world, making up around …

Gold (Au) is one of the most valuable metals known to man. ... Both coal fly ash and palm oil fuel ash are also abundant industrial wastes found in Mindanao, Philippines (Tigue et al., 2018). The development of Au mine tailings-based geopolymers is a sustainable way to recycle, repurpose and stabilize these wastes. In this study, ASGM …

The solid waste known as fly ash, which is produced when coal is burned in thermal power plants, is sustainably used in agriculture. It is an excellent soil supplement for plant growth and development since it contains some desired nutrients (macro and micro), as well as being porous. The present study was done to evaluate the effect of different …

The concern with using coal lies in producing by-products from burning coal. Various studies have shown that the disposal of by-products has become a burden to the environment because it disrupts environmental and economic cycles [13].CFA is generally a mixture of minerals consisting of various oxides, including SiO 2 (35–60 %), CaO (1–35 …

The U.S. Department of Energy is funding efforts to recover REEs from coal and coal combustion residuals. A promising source is coal fly ash, which is a byproduct from coal-fired power plants. This waste produced by burning coal for power can have concentrations of REEs similar to those found in raw ores.

The average unconfined compressive strengths (UCS) of tailings-based geopolymers at 14 days curing were 7.58 MPa and 7.7 MPa with fly ash and palm oil fuel ash, respectively.

Country totals may not add exactly to the world total because of rounding. U.S. Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey Fact Sheet 2019–3048 September 2019. Table 1. Rare-earth-element (REE) contents of fly ash samples investigated, basins where coals yielding the ash originated, and percentages of critical REEs of the total REE ...

Coal fly ash (CFA) is a coal ignition buildup at thermal power plants, which has been viewed as a hazardous waste globally. The major problems with CFA are the large volume of land needed for its disposal and poisonous weighty metal sifted to groundwater. CFA has been considered a waste and water pollutant until recently; …

Research into how to utilize coal and coal fly ash as sources of REEs is ongo­ing. Viable recovery of REEs from coal and coal ash requires identification of coals and ashes with …

The color of coal fly ash powders varies from dark brown to light gray, which is due to the presence of unburnt carbon presence after the coal combustion process. The fly ash powder also shows an alkaline, abrasive, and refractor nature. Table 1 shows the summarized physical properties of fly ash powder.

Shifeng Dai. China University of Mining and Technology-Beijing. Abstract and Figures. We present the first data on the mode of occurrence of Au in fly ashes from the Wulantuga and Lincang power...

Fly ash, produced during the burn ing of coal, is a fine grained solid derived from noncombustible constituents of coal, such as clay minerals and quartz. When coal is burned, REEs are retained and enriched in the fly ash and, as a result, fly ash has long been considered a potential resource for REEs (Goldschmidt, 1935; Seredin and Dai, …

Hydraulic liners are used to restrict hazardous leachates such as acid mine drainage (AMD) from entering the hydrogeological system. In this study, we hypothesized that: (1) a compacted mix ratio of natural clay and coal fly ash with a hydraulic conductivity of at most 1 × 10− 8 ms− 1 can be achieved, and (2) mixing clay and coal fly ash in the …
