- Fly ash is the finely
divided mineral residue resulting from the combustion of powdered coal
in electric generating plants. It is also called pulverized fuel ash.
Fly ash consists of inorganic, incombustible matter present in the coal
that has been fused during combustion into a glassy, amorphous
structure.
- Fly ash is used as a
component in the production of flowable fill (also called controlled low
strength material, or CLSM), which is used as self-leveling,
self-compacting backfill material in lieu of compacted earth or granular
fill. Flowable fill includes mixtures of Portland cement and filler
material and can contain mineral admixtures, such as fly ash.
- The color of fly ash
can vary from tan to gray to black, depending on the amount of unburned
carbon in the ash. The lighter the color, the lower the carbon content.
Lignite or subbituminous fly ashes are usually light tan to buff in
color, indicating relatively low amounts of carbon as well as the
presence of some lime or calcium.
- The fly ash produced
from the burning of pulverized coal in a coal-fired boiler is a
fine-grained, powdery particulate material that is carried off in the
flue gas and usually collected from the flue gas by means of
electrostatic precipitators, baghouses, or mechanical collection devices
such as cyclones.
- Fly ash improves
corrosion protection. By decreasing concrete permeability, fly ash can
reduce the rate of ingress of water and corrosive
chemicals;
therefore protecting steel reinforcements from corrosion.
- Fly ash fineness and
spherical shape make even of them an affective filler in improving the
rheologycal behaviour of fresh cementitious mixture, increasing its
workability (slump) and pumpability, while reducing the risk of bleeding
and component segregation during moulding.
- Dry ash is collected
from different rows of electrostatic precipitators. It is available in
two different grades of fineness in silos for use as resource material
by different users. Conditioned fly ash is also available in ash mound
for use in land fills and ash building products.
- Fly ash micronisation,
for the obtainment of a material entirely smaller than 10 microns, can
be operated by grinding it or by its aerodynamic classification. On the
contrary, the sieving separation is no more possible at these diameters
on an industrial scale. Grinding can be made adopting dry or wet milling
technologies.
- India at present
produces around 120 Million Tonnes of Ash per annum. The power
requirements of the country is rapidly increasing with increase in
growth of the industrial sectors.
- The annual demand of
fly ash for production of PPC is currently estimated to be 3 MT
including that of neighbouring states, and is likely to increase in the
near future.
- The western United
States flyash market is limited by the distance to market, a result of
relatively few large population centers and power plants that
are often located near coal sources, rather than near large
cities.
- Utilization of fly ash
in Israel took a while and most of it is related to the cement and the
concrete industry and has much to do, of
course, with the local
conditions, technical and regulatory aspects and economics.
- India has sufficient
coal reserves. In India almost 65-70% of electricity production is
dependent on coal which produces a huge quantity of Fly Ash as residue
which is allegedly a waste product in Thermal Power Stations.Presently
majority of the coal ash generated is being handled in wet form and
disposed off in ash ponds which is harmful for the environment and
moreover ashremains unutilized for gainful applications.
- Marketability of fly
ash, among other things, would largely depend on the power plant’s
proximity with markets like the cement plants and ports. Gujarat, for
example, has the unique advantage of having the longest coastline with
many major and minor ports for easy export of fly ash.
- Coal-fired power plant
fly ash represents a potentially significant source for certain types of
commercial carbon products from coal. In analyzing the fly ash from
Reliant Energy’s Niles power plant, PMET engineers noted that the unique
high carbon fly ash produced from combustion in a cyclone burner (CB)
seems to be suitable for utilization in certain carbon markets with some
process upgrading.
- At present, nearly 90
million tonnes of flyash is being generated annually in India and nearly
65,000 acres of land is presently occupied by ash ponds. Fly ash as a
material is siliceous or aluminous with pozzolanic properties. It is
refractory and alkaline in nature, having fineness in the range of
3000-6000 sq.cm/gm.
- The annual demand of
bricks by 2010 studied under different scenarios is expected to vary
between 1275 million to 1495 million, while demand for fly ash bricks
would be around 318 million to 373 million. This average daily demand
for fly ash bricks is likely to increase from 0.4 million units in 2004
to anywhere between 0.87 to 1.2 million units by 2010. This calls for
strengthening of current fly ash brick production levels by 1.5 to 2
times
