“…Revegetation with high biomass production is hardly to be expected in actual cover substrates. Compost amendments improved the fertility of the ash substrates with respect to N, P and K and the microbial activity of the ashes (Dellantonio et al, 2008). To address dust dispersion from active disposal sites -second important issuewind barriers are proposed as effective measure.…”

“…Landfill is the traditional CGCC disposal method [2][3], which was not environmental friendly due to the release of heavy metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) into soils and groundwater [3][4]. Long-term contamination consequently decreases soil quality and threatens human health [5][6].…”

Coal gasification coarse cinder (CGCC) is the main waste in the coal gasification industry, containing low calorific value but high heavy metal residuals. To achieve environmental toxicity stabilization and waste recycling, we developed a manufacturing method of multiple-functional ceramsite from CGCC by pelletizing and sintering. By altering key parameters during the manufacturing process (including CGCC content, sintering temperature, and time), the physical properties and leaching toxicity of ceramsite were evaluated. Sintering temperature was identified with a significantly positive relationship with ceramsite's compressive strength, whereas CGCC content was negatively correlated with water adsorption. The highest compressive strength (24.00 MPa) and relatively lower water absorption (21.36%) was achieved at 50% CGCC content and 1,150ºC sintering for 30 min. The toxicity tests showed acceptable leaching heavy metals with minimal environmental impact. Considering the energy conservation and the maximal recycling of CGCC, optimal ceramsite manufacturing is suggested as 50% CGCC content and 1,150ºC/10 min sintering temperature/time. Our results indicated that multiple-functional ceramsite manufacturing is a low-cost and environmentally friendly approach for CGCC recycling.

“…CFA is considered a highly contaminating medium because the toxic trace elements in coal are accumulated in higher concentrations in the combustion by product [5]. Thus, various environmental risks may be linked to the disposal of CFA air, soil, surface-and groundwater [6][7][8].…”

Abstract:Epithermal neutron activation analysis along with ICP-OES, LA ICP-MS, and XRF were used to determine the elemental composition of coal fly ash from the Malta coal power station in the Mpumalanga province of South Africa. A total of 54 major, trace and rare earth elements were obtained by the four analytical techniques. The results were compared and the discrepancies discussed to show the merits and drawbacks of each of the techniques. It was shown that the elemental content of this particular coal fly ash are of the same order as the NIST standard reference material Coal Fly Ash 1633b.
