Correlations of Chemistry and Mineralogy of Western U.S. Fly Ash
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 February 2011
Extract
Fly ashes derived from low-rank coals mined principally in Montana, Wyoming and North Dakota are being studied by the Western Fly Ash Research, Development and Data Center [1]. Previous studies of the mineralogy of western U.S. fly ash by McCarthy et al. [1–3] using x-ray diffraction (XRD) form the framework of the present study. A database of chemical, mineralogical and physical properties, along with precursor coal characteristics, is being assembled. Based on studies to date of several hundred fly ash samples derived from lignite and subbituminous coals, as well as from several bituminous ashes, correlations of chemistry and mineralogy have been hypothesized and are being tested. These correlations are discussed below.
