Description
- Fly ash is a complex mixture of metallic oxides, unburnt carbon compounds, and other particulate which are a byproduct of the industrial burning of coal or biofuels for power production.
- Environmental contaminants including arsenic, lead, cadmium, chromium, and mercury are known to be found in fly ash, prompting EPA regulation and government action in the event of spills.
- Ash composition and morphology are closely related to the composition and processing of its parent fuel. [1,2] Subsequently, the extent to which environmental contaminants are concentrated in fly ash is know to vary.
- Sieving processes are used in many industries as an inexpensive and expeditious method to sort granular materials. Characterization of particulate size-related differences in fly ash may be useful to industry.
