Fly ash (FA) and bottom ash (BA) from coal combustion give environmental impacts and health problems. As the demand for coal increases, FABA quantity and environmental impacts will also increase. Thus, to reduce the environmental impact, the utilisation of FABA is key. To properly utilise FABA as a sustainable material, FABA’s life cycle in Indonesian power plants needs to be studied. For initial work and comparison, this study conducted a literature review related to Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of FABA from coal-fired power plants. The literature review used descriptive method, with the criteria for the main articles’ selection are published papers within the last ten years. This paper discusses system boundary, inventory, environmental impact, improvement efforts, and challenges. The main beneficiaries of FABA are construction and geotechnical industries, other studies have also shown a wider range of uses in various fields. The wide utilisation of FABA faces challenges from the intrinsic character variation, non-technical issues, standards, and knowledge for proper utilisation in composite materials.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
