Clays fly ash

The choice of selected raw materials is very wide, but they must provide calcium oxide (lime), iron oxide [1309-37-1/, siHca, and aluminum oxide (alumina). Examples of the calcereous (calcium oxide) sources are calcium carbonate minerals (aragonite [14791-73-2] calcite [13397-26-7] limestone [1317-65-3] or mad), seasheUs, or shale. Examples of argillaceous (siHca and alumina) sources are clays, fly ash, mad, shale, and sand. The iron oxide commonly comes from iron ore, clays, or mill scale. Some raw matedals supply more than one ingredient, and the mixture of raw matedals is a function of their chemical composition, as deterrnined by cost and availabiHty. 

The clay content and the type of clay in soils also affected the hydrolysis of atrazine (Solinas et al., 1983). Hydrolysis occurred following adsorption of atrazine to the surface of the clay. After several months, a portion of the resulting hydroxyatrazine became irreversibly bound (that is, unextractable) to the clay. Fly ash, added to aqueous suspensions of soil, increased atrazine hydrolysis (Albanis et al., 1989).

A high early strength calcium sulfoaluminate cement can be formed from the raw materials slag, clay, fly ash, silica, etc.I Hydration of the system C4 A3S-CS-C4AF was carried out by DTA to investigate the rate of conversion of ettringite (high calcium sulfoaluminate phase) to the monosulfoaluminate phase.

Po22olans iaclude natural materials such as diatomaceous earths (see Diatomite), opaline cherts, and shales, tuffs, and volcanic ashes or pumicites, and calciaed materials such as some clays and shales. By-products such as fly ashes and siUca fume are also employed. In the United States the proportion of po22olan iaterground with clinker has varied from 15 to over 30%, whereas ia Italy, cements with a 30—40% po22olan content are produced. 

It is assumed that the moisture content of the soil has been determined to be approximately 50% under worst-case conditions. Using this information and the results from vendor tests, it has been determined that a minimum dose of one part solidification reagent to two parts soil is required for the migration control of lead. Testing has shown that the optimum solidification reagent mixture would comprise ca. 50% fly ash and ca. 50% kiln dust. Thus, ca. 7000 t (6364 T) each of fly ash and cement kiln dust would be required. The reagents would be added in situ with a backhoe. As one area of the soil is fixed, the equipment could be moved onto the fixed soil to blend the next section. It may be anticipated that the soil volume would expand by ca. 20% as a result of the fixation process. This additional volume would be used to achieve the required slope for the cap. An RCRA soil/clay cap placed over the solidified material is necessary to prevent infiltration and additional hydraulic stress on the fixed soil. It is estimated that the fixation would reduce lead migration by 40% and that the fixed soil may pass the U.S. EPA levels for lead. 

Mullite is almost twice as abundant in low-Ca fly ash when compared to high-Ca fly ash, mainly due to differences in the Al content of the clay minerals associated with the coal (McCarthy et al. 1990). Using atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and scanning electron microscopy /electron microprobe analyses (SEM/ EMPA) Stevenson Huber (1987) found a correlation between the elemental composition of ash particles and the clay mineral species in the raw coal. They concluded that the geologic origin of the coal had a significant impact on the microchemical composition of the ash.

Chemical analyses by INAA were conducted at the Archaeometry Laboratory at the Missouri University Research Reactor Center (MURR). Aliquots of sample were oven-dried at 100 °C for 24 h. Amounts of approximately 150 mg were weighed into small polyvials used for short irradiations. At the same time, 200 mg of each sample was weighed into high-purity quartz vials used for long irradiations. Along with the majolica samples, reference standards of SRM-I633a (coal fly ash) and SRM-688 (basalt rock) were similarly prepared, as well as quality control samples of SRM-278 (obsidian rock) and Ohio Red Clay (standards treated as unknowns). 

Solidification/stabilization Refers to reducing the mobility of a contaminant in soils, other solids, or even liquid wastes by mixing them with Portland cement, lime, cement kiln dust, clays, slags, polymers, water treatment sludges, iron-rich gypsum, fly ash, and/or other binders. The process decreases the mobility of contaminants through physical encapsulation (solidification) and chemical bonding between the contaminants and the binders (stabilization). 

The first comprehensive study of fluoride adsorption onto minerals and soils was published in 1967 [57], Since that time, several workers have investigated the adsorption of fluoride on various substrates. These studies include the use of Ando soils of Kenya [58], Illinois soils of USA [59], Alberta soil Luther [60], il-lite-goethite soils in China [2] clay pottery [61,62], fired clay [63], fired clay chips in Ethiopia [12], kaolinite [64], bentonite and kaolinite [65,66] and fly ash [17],...
