Materials | Special Issue : Current State of Coal Fly Ash
Coal fly ash (CFA) is the main solid waste from coal-fired power plants. The world's annual growth of this type of waste is about 700–800 million tons. CFA contains oxides of non-ferrous metals (SiO 2, Al 2 O 3, Fe 2 O 3, CaO), as well as unburned carbon and rare earth elements. So, CFA can be used as feedstock in metallurgy, chemical and ...

Bottom ash, economizer ash, and fly ash. Bottom ash is the residue that accumulates at the bottom of the furnace. Economizer in hoppers ash accumulates in hoppers under the economizer section of the boiler. Fly ash is carried in the flue gas stream. A typical breakdown is 20% bottom ash, 4% economizer ash, and 76% fly ash.

The percentage of ash in the coal varies from about 5% in good quantity coals to about 40% in poor quantity coals. Generally poor quality coal is used in steam power plants and, therefore, a system power plant produces hundreds of tonnes of ash daily (a modern 2,000 MW steam power plant produces about 5,000 tonnes of ash daily).
