Coal Ash Drying: Breakdown Processes For The Reuse Of Coal Ash
This white paper will break down the drying processes and equipment used for the beneficial reuse of coal ash.
Coal ash is a by-product of coal combustion and forms when coal is burned in boilers that generate steam for power generation and industrial applications. About 80-90 percent of CCRs are made up of basic non-radioactive minerals, such as silicon, iron, aluminum, and calcium. Unfortunately, it is the remaining arsenic, mercury, and lead that give coal ash its toxic reputation.
