Separation of unburned carbon from coal fly ash: A review

Separation of unburned carbon from coal fly ash: A review

Abstract Coal fly ash, the main industrial waste in coalfired power plants generated during the coal combustion, usually reutilized as raw materials in construction industry. However, a lot of unburned carbons are contained in raw fly ash, which not only decreasing the strength of fly ash concrete but also causing a huge waste of the resources.

Effect of Prestirring Time on Carbon Removal from Coal Fly Ash in the ...

Coal fly ash (CFA) is one of the industrial byproducts of burning coal for energy production and has unburned carbon, which negatively affects its full potential use. The flotation technology can be effective in separating unburned carbon from CFA, and the prestirring time is crucial for the ideal initial conditions during the flotation process. To find the suitable prestirring time, eight ...
