Exploring "Beneficial Re-use" The EPA and industry professionals call recycling coal ash "beneficial re-use." In other words, coal ash can be recycled for other useful purposes that prevent mishaps and environmental concerns. Approximately 40% of all coal ash is used for beneficial re-use.
The majority of these coal by-products are produced at coal-fired electric utility generating stations, although considerable bottom ash and/or boiler slag are also produced from many smaller industrial or institutional coal-fired boilers and from coal-burning independent power production facilities.
tion, soil modification, and backfill. Fly ash that is produced in some coal-fired boilers may be suitable for use as a mineral admixture in concrete if it satisfies chemical and physical specification requirements established by the ASTM.11 Ash from certain coal combustion processes is also used in the manufacture of concrete masonry units.
Wood Ash – from boilers where wood (or bark) is used as a heating source Coal Ash – from coal powered electrical generating power plants, actually two forms, bottom ash and fly ash
Boiler types According to the type of fuel used or fuel-burning methods. Coal-fired boilers, oil fired boilers, gas-fired boilers, Biomass boilers, electric boilers Circulating Fluidized bed boiler (FBC Boiler), Pulverized coal boiler (PC Boiler), and Waste heat recovery boilers Nuclear Steam generators.
Fly ash is produced from the combustion of coal in electric utility or industrial boilers. There are four basic types of coal-fired boilers: pulverized coal (PC), stoker-fired or traveling grate, cyclone, and fluidized-bed combustion (FBC) boilers.
