Morphology and chemistry of size-classified fly ash collected from the stack of a coal-fired power plant

Creators

Description

The physical and chemical properties of size-classified fly ash collected from the stack of a coal-fired power plant presently are being evaluated. Light and scanning electron microscopic evaluation of four sized fractions with volume median diameters of 2.2, 3.2, 6.3 and 20 μm demonstrate morphological heterogeneity and provide the basis for development of a particle genesis scheme. Chemical analyses of the fly ash fractions indicate increased concentrations of many trace elements with decreasing particle size
