Coal ash is a residual waste product primarily produced by coal combustion for electric power generation. Coal ash includes fly ash, bottom ash, and flue-gas desulfurization products (at powerplants equipped with flue-gas desulfurization systems). Fly ash, the most common form of coal ash, is used in a range of products, especially construction materials.

Coal fly ash has potential applications in the management of reactive mine tailings. The shear stress versus shear rate curves obtained during viscometer tests are presented to describe the rheological behaviors of tailings slurries mixed with fly ash. The investigation was conducted on specimens prepared with different fly ash additions as well as prepared at …
Previous studies have discussed the technical feasibility of direct CO 2 mineral carbonation with fly ash in both gas-solid and aqueous routes [10, 15].Mineral carbonation processes conducted by the aqueous route are more effective than those by dry gas-solid methods [24, 25].Extensive studies have investigated carbonation capacities and carbonation …
Distribution of minerals. The XRD patterns of coal fly ash with different particle sizes are consistent, indicating that the mineral compositions are the same, including mullite, quartz, corundum, hematite, and amorphous glass (Fig. 3 b). The mullite content in the coal fly ash is between 51.2% and 75.9%, with an average of 66.64% (Table 3 ...
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 …
