Disposal of flying ash from thermal power plants
Abstract
The problem of fly ash as a by-product of thermal power plants is an actual issue. This ash is extremely hazardous to the environment. It contains particles of extremely small diameter that are easily carried by the wind, and have many toxic elements and heavy metals. The scattered particles reach the water and soil, thus causing environmental contamination. Multiple solutions have been offered to remedy this serious problem, which relates not only to the environment (land, air and water) but also significantly affects the health of people living close to the thermal power plants. Remediation of ultra-fine particles spread by aeolian erosion reduces the potential for water and soil contamination as well as crops used by the population for nutrition, and thus for acute and chronic diseases found to be caused by fly ash pollution. The use of elemental sulfur, which is a secondary product of the oil refining process, in order to bind fly ash, manages waste, thus solving two environmental ...problems.
