Furnace ashing

Coarse residue with grain sizes 45 pun-1 mm, or slag, from the EPP constitutes the major fraction in the furnace ash and the ash from the superheater, economizer, and cyclone (locations 1-4 Fig. 6, Table 10). The grain size distribution of the gas duct ashes varies widely, being coarser in the economizer adjacent to the major cyclone (Table 10). Some of the coarse ash from the major cyclone carries over into the ash from the electrostatic precipitator, but is reduced from Field I through IV. 

Overfeed Stoker Boilers. Coal combusted in overfeed stoker boilers is fed from above onto a traveling or chain grate, and bums on the fuel bed as it progresses through the furnace. Ash falls into a pit at the rear of the stoker.6 The same TDF issues apply as were mentioned under spreader stoker boilers.

Tf you have a fireplace or furnace ashes are no problem- otherwise you might ask someone to let you remove their ashes. You will not be refused. Of course, you could always go to some vacant lot pile up a lot of scrap wood and burn it. Ashes should be no problem. 

Transfer 2-5 mL of the fresh specimen into a clean quartz dish/crucible and slowly heat to dryness at a temperature of 90-105°C. Alternatively weigh 0.2 g of the freeze dried specimen into a quartz dish. Transfer the dish to the muffle furnace (heated to a temperature of 450°C) or into a low temperature oxygen plasma asher. Ash the sample for 6-8 h, cool, add 0.2 mL of 6N nitric acid and 0.1 mL of 1% Mg(N03)2 solution. Again dry on a hot plate (90°C) and transfer to the furnace. Ash to a white colorless residue, cool and dissolve the ash in 2 mL of 1 N nitric acid. Dilute to volume with deionised water. 

Transfer a weighed quantity of the specimen (10-50 g) into a quartz dish or crucible. Slowly evaporate at a low heat (80-105°C) in case the specimen is not already available in dry state. Transfer the crucible to a muffle furnace (or LTA). Ash at a temperature of 350°C for 4 h. Cool and add 2 mL of 6N nitric acid followed by 1 mL of 2% magnesium nitrate solution (only for classical ashing in the muffle furnace). Evaporate to dryness at a temperature of 80-90°C and transfer to the furnace. Ash for 6-8 h at an elevated temperature of 450°C. Dissolve the residual colourless ash In 2 mL of 3N nitric acid and dilute to volume with ultrapure water. Low temperature ashing in the oxygen plasma is to be... 

Metal is separated from the drosses on a drum screen and is recycled to the furnace. Ashes are utilized in the production of Zn compounds. The BOLESLAW Electrolytic Zinc Plant produces zinc with the analysis shown in Table V.

The other technique commonly used for the quantification and isolation of inorganic materials (both fillers and additives such as glass fibres) is furnace ashing. This method is described in ISO 345-1 (1997) and a temperature of 500-600 °C is usually used.
