Coal Combustion Products (CCPs): Their Nature, Utilization and
Beneficiation is a valuable resource for engineers and scientists
from the coal, cement, concrete, and construction industries
seeking an in-depth guide to the characteristics, utilization,
beneficiation, and environmental impacts of coal combustion
by-products. Researchers in universities working in this area will
also find much to expand their knowledge. The book provides a
detailed overview of the different waste materials produced during
power generation from coal, exploring their nature, beneficiation
techniques, applications, and environmental impacts. Strong focus
is placed on coal fly ash, bottom ash, and flue gas desulfurization
materials, and their employment in cement, concrete, gypsum
products, aggregates, road construction, geotechnics, and
agriculture, among other products and industries. Part 1 focuses on
the nature of coal ashes, with chapters on their origin,
generation, and storage, both in ponds and landfill. The coal
combustion by-products produced as a result of clean coal
technologies are the focus of the final chapter in the section. The
next group of chapters in Part 2 considers the utilization of
different waste materials, including the key products coal fly ash,
bottom ash, and flue gas desulfurization materials. This is
followed by a contribution reviewing the latest research into
innovative and advanced uses for coal ash. After an introduction to
ash quality problems and quality monitoring, Part 3 concentrates on
the essential area of by-product beneficiation techniques, in other
words how to maximize the quality of materials for the end user.
Topics covered include separation methods, thermal processing, and
chemical passivation. The final section of the book addresses
environmental issues, including the use of coal combustion
by-products in green construction materials and the essential
health and safety considerations associated with their use.
