Coal fly ash (FA) is an abundantly generated incombustible product produced during coal combustion in a thermal power plant [ 1, 2 ]. High ash content (30–45%) in the Indian coal and increasing coal demand leads to massive accumulation of FA waste. Improper disposal of FA requires significant space, causing water and air pollution and is …

Boron has the nature to adsorb in soil particles. It causes phytotoxicity leading to undesirable and stunted growth in plants growing in fly ash amended soils. The concentration of Boron in soil decreases gradually with the occurrence of leaching of fly ash (Haynes, 2009). 4. Impact of fly ash on crop health and productivity

Hydrogeochemical modeling of the speciation and leaching of fly ash co-disposed with water, brines and organics : a case study of -Eskom coal ash disposal, South …

Mercury (Hg)-laden coal fly ash is an environmental concern when it is exposed to precipitation or surface/groundwater under natural conditions. In this study, fly ash samples collected from fifteen coal-fired power plants in Guizhou province of southwest China were subjected to examine the different Hg binding forms. The results showed that …

Fly ash samples from two South African coal-fired power stations were subjected to different leaching tests under alkaline and acidic conditions in an attempt to …

Mining alters the natural landscape and discharges large volumes of wastes that pose serious pollution hazards to the environment, to human health and to agriculture. As a result, the recent 2 decades have witnessed a global surge in research on post-mining landscape restoration, yielding a suite of techniques including physical, chemical, …

Biological leaching methods for the treatment of electronic waste can be divided into three types according to the type of biomass exposure to the waste: one-step, two-step, and spent-medium [].In the study of biological leaching of heavy metals from tailings, the operation steps are generally as follows (Figure 2): first, the tailing samples …

The mineralogy and potential for acid leaching is discussed. 2. Study Area. The UCG pilot plant near Majuba Power Station in Mpumalanga Province, South Africa, completed Phase 1 of the gasification trial in 2010 (Pershad, Pistorius, and van der Riet 2018). This is the first power plant in Africa to utilize UCG-generated syngas.

Abstract. The combustion of coal in South Africa produces approximately 22 million tons of fly ash annually. This fly ash has to be handled and stored on ash dumps, which in turn …

Knowledge of the leaching behavior from soil–fly ash mixtures as a function of pH will help elucidate the mobility of trace elements in different types of soil and fly ash used in geotechnical applications. Several leaching studies have identified two key mechanisms controlling the release of constituents from pure coal combustion residues ...

Some of the mines in South Africa on their own account have established treatment plants to treat AMD more satisfactorily (e.g. the GYP-CIX process at the Western Areas Gold Mine). Apart from current treatment methods, two exciting developments are highlighted which indicate that this may be turned into a remarkable opportunity.
