粉煤灰和二灰对桂林红黏土力学性质的影响

为了研究粉煤灰和二灰掺量及养护时间对桂林红黏土的改良效果,进行了直剪试验、固结试验以及电镜扫描试验。试验结果表明,粉煤灰的掺入提高了红黏土的抗剪强度,但超过一定量（18%粉煤灰掺量）反而会降低红黏土黏聚力,各掺量粉煤灰红黏土随养护龄期的延长,抗剪强度呈先增后缓趋势。二灰改良红黏土,在早期强度剧增,且强度随养护时间增长而大幅增加,一定龄期内,二灰红黏土黏聚力随二灰掺量呈先增后减趋势。粉煤灰和二灰的掺入均增大了红黏土的压缩模量,且随养护时间的延长而逐渐增大。红黏土中随粉煤灰、石灰的加入,发生一系列物理化学反应,从微观结构分析得知土中孔隙减少,结构性较素红黏土好。     

粉煤灰、粘土、膨润土等对Zn2+的吸附试验研究

研究了粉煤灰、粘土、膨润土等从溶液中去除有毒金属离子Zn2+的吸附过程。动态试验显示吸附过程是快速的。吸附试验结果表明,粉煤灰、膨润土对Zn2+的吸附能力相当,但远大于粘土、粉质粘土。平衡吸附模型充分说明,在高浓度下Zn2+在粉煤灰、粘土、粉质粘土上的吸附符合Langmuir等温线。试验结果亦表明,随着吸附剂中Zn2+含量的增加,粉煤灰等吸附剂对Zn2+吸附的百分率均呈减小的趋势。

Relative performance of lime stabilized amended clay liners in different pore fluids

Successful design of soil liner and covers for landfills and waste impoundments involves selection of liner material and assessment of chemical compatibility of the liner material. In this work locally available materials with different mineralogy have been evaluated from the viewpoint of liner application. Many local soils may not meet the requirements of liner material; often it is necessary to amend these soils with commercially available processed bentonite. Clay liners may be attacked by chemical waste or leachate, concentrated organic chemicals can attack compacted clay effectively destroying the characteristics of liner material. Thus the main aim of this work has been to assess the suitability of different types of locally available materials for their potential use as liners for waste containment facilities. The materials studied are kaolinitic red earth, illite and fly ash. Based on literature survey and experimental work in this laboratory, 20% by weight of bentonite has been chosen for amending selected materials. Addition of 20% bentonite to selected liner material improved the hydraulic conductivity and adsorption capacity of the amended mixture but, reduced the volume stability. To improve the volume stability of the amended material and to have better resistance towards chemicals attack, stabilizing the amended mixture with 1% by weight of lime has been considered. The relative advantages and disadvantages of four materials namely; red earth with 20% bentonite, illite with 20% bentonite, fly ash with 20% bentonite and illite alone, stabilized with 1% by weight of lime were brought out. The chemical compatibility of the materials to electrolyte solution (0.5 N NaCl), alkaline solution (0.5 N NaOH), acid (0.5 N HCl) and organic fluid (CCl₄) has been studied. The relative efficiency of the selected materials with selected pore fluids was compared.

Utilization of lime,slag and fly ash for improvement of a colluvial soil in New South Wales,Australia

In Australia, colluvial soils form large terrains which are often subjected to considerable erosion and mass movement. This study presents a laboratory evaluation of the improvement effected by hydrated lime, milled blast furnace slag and fly ash on a fine grained (erosive) colluvial soil in New South Wales, Australia. Geotechnical tests were conducted to determine the compaction and consolidation characteristics and the compressive and shear strength properties of the blended and natural soil specimens. The effect of these additives on the Atterberg limits and pH levels is also investigated. As large amounts of fly ash and steel slag are produced in New South Wales, it is economically attractive to utilize these industrial by-products for ground improvement rather than employing conventional methods such as lime treatment. This study demonstrates that for the colluvial soil tested, milled slag is the most effective in terms of improving the internal friction angle of the treated soil, while lime is the most suitable for achieving the optimum compressive strength. Non-pozzolanic fly ash is found to be inappropriate as a soil improving agent. The cost of ground treatment using the various additives is also estimated and compared.     

Synthesis of cordierite using industrial waste fly ash

Fly ash is a product arising from coal combustion in thermal power plants. It represents a major source of environmental pollution. It is well known by its chemical composition rich of SiO₂ and Al₂O₃. With the aim of preserving the environment against this contamination, fly ash was used along with the starting materials for producing glass cordierite (2MgO, 2Al₂O₃, 5SiO₂). Four formulations were developed by mixing the silica gel, magnesium chloride (MgCl₂.6H₂O) and fly ash in the percentages enclosing the stoichiometry of cordierite (2MgO, 2Al₂O₃, 5SiO₂). Different experimental techniques (DTA/TGA, X-ray diffraction, FTIR and SEM) were used to characterise the prepared formulations. The results shown that for all formulations, a cordierite phase was obtained at 1200 °C along with several secondary phases such as mullite, cristobalite, silicon oxide, enstatite and spinel. At 1300 °C, pure indialite (α-cordierite) was obtained along with a small amount of spinel. The four formulations sintered at 1200 °C exhibit a homogenous morphology and high porosity. The acicular-shaped indialite grains were observed in both formulations with excess of alumina and excess of magnesia.     

Effect of lime and fly ash on swell,consolidation and shear strength characteristics of expansive clays: a comparative study

Expansive soils swell on absorbing water and shrink on evaporation thereof. Because of this alternate swelling and shrinkage, civil engineering structures founded in them are severely damaged. For counteracting the problems of expansive soils, different innovative techniques were suggested. Stabilization of expansive clays with various additives has also met with considerable success. This paper presents, by comparison, the effect of lime and fly ash on free swell index (FSI), swell potential, swelling pressure, coefficient of consolidation, compression index, secondary consolidation characteristics and shear strength. Lime content (weight of lime/weight of dry soil) was varied as 0%, 2%, 4%?and 6%?and fly ash content (weight of fly ash/weight of dry soil) as 0%, 10%?and 20%. A fly ash content of 20%?showed significant reduction in swell potential, swelling pressure, compression index and secondary consolidation characteristics and resulted in increase in maximum dry density and shear strength. Swell potential and swelling pressure decreased with increase in lime content also. Further, consolidation characteristics improved. Compaction characteristics and unconfined compression strength improved at 4%?lime and reduced at 6%?lime.     

冻融循环对二灰和改性聚乙烯醇固化盐渍土力学性能的影响

随季节性变化的冻融循环作用对土体结构有显著的影响。为降低盐渍土对环境温度的敏感性并将其应用于工程中,提出以石灰、粉煤灰和改性聚乙烯醇(MPA)为固化材料的联合固化方法。先通过无侧限抗压强度(UCS)和微观扫描试验评价固化效果,构建固化材料的参数范围,再将抗剪强度(黏聚力和内摩擦角)与正交试验相结合,分析各因素的影响,明确最佳组合参数。结果表明:石灰+粉煤灰+MPA联合固化有助于提高盐渍土的强度,联合固化盐渍土的UCS为1 130.25 kPa,是盐渍土(218 k Pa)的5.18倍;联合固化盐渍土的冻融强度满足工程规范(JTG 3430-2020)要求。冻融循环作用下联合固化盐渍土的UCS稳定值为700k Pa,且3次循环后的波动范围在5%左右。适宜配比下联合固化盐渍土的抗剪强度(黏聚力和内摩擦角)在3次冻融循环后为208.2 kPa和38.56°。各因素的敏感性由高到低依次为养护时间、石灰掺量、MPA掺量、干密度、含盐量和冻融循环次数,随石灰、粉煤灰和MPA掺量的增加,联合固化盐渍土强度增大并趋于稳定,固化参数的优化可有效弱化冻融作用对滨海盐渍土的影响。结合抗压及抗剪强度试验结果,...

在动扭剪三轴仪上对不同黄土掺量的粉煤灰试样进行动力学试验,根据试验结果对掺土粉煤灰的动强度及孔压发展规律进行了分析。试验表明:随着掺土量的增加,掺土粉煤灰的动强度值有所下降,在同一固结比条件下,掺土量越大,产生破坏所需的动剪应力和破坏振次就越小;掺土粉煤灰的动强度指标中粘聚力随掺土量的增大而提高,而内摩擦角随掺土量的增加呈略微减小的趋势;随着掺土量的增加,孔隙水压力随振次比及轴向变形的增长速度逐渐变缓,在纯粉煤灰中掺入一定量的黄土,有助于提高粉煤灰的抗液化性能。     

Mercury capture by selected Bulgarian fly ashes: Influence of coal rank and fly ash carbon pore structure on capture efficiency

Mercury capture by fly ash C was investigated at five lignite- and subbituminous-coal-burning Bulgarian power plants (Republika, Bobov Dol, Maritza East 2, Maritza East 3, and Sliven). Although the C content of the ashes is low, never exceeding 1.6%, the Hg capture on a unit C basis demonstrates that the low-rank-coal-derived fly ash carbons are more efficient in capturing Hg than fly ash carbons from bituminous-fired power plants. While some low-C and low-Hg fly ashes do not reveal any trends of Hg versus C, the 2nd and, in particular, the 3rd electrostatic precipitator (ESP) rows at the Republika power plant do have sufficient fly ash C range and experience flue gas sufficiently cool to capture measurable amounts of Hg. The Republika 3rd ESP row exhibits an increase in Hg with increasing C, as observed in other power plants, for example, in Kentucky power plants burning Appalachian-sourced bituminous coals. Mercury/C decreases with an increase in fly ash C, suggesting that some of the C is isolated from the flue gas stream and does not contribute to Hg capture. Mercury capture increases with an increase in Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area and micropore surface area. The differences in Hg capture between the Bulgarian plants burning low-rank coal and high volatile bituminous-fed Kentucky power plants suggests that the variations in C forms resulting from the combustion of the different ranks also influence the efficiency of Hg capture.     

Influence of using rice husk ash in soil stabilization method with lime

In clayey lands, swelling problem causes vertical displacements on road subbase, and finally, failure in pavement occurs due to lack of appropriate drainage systems. One popular and inexpensive method of soil stabilization is using lime. Investigations indicate that based on environmental and atmospheric conditions, the chemical reaction of lime and clayey soil is not accomplished well, owning to low temperature and high humidity. This paper aims to investigate the influence of adding rice husk ash on the reaction between soil and lime and lime reaction and determine soil physical and mechanical characteristics. Therefore, sufficient laboratory soil tests, such as Atterberg limits, compaction, California bearing ratio (CBR), and direct shear test are carried out, and the results are analyzed. The results generally indicate that adding lime and rice husk ash (RHA) causes a decrease in dry density and an increase in optimum water content. Increasing lime and RHA causes a decreasing rate in soil liquid limit and plastic limit. Adding lime and RHA to the soil causes a decrease in deformability of soil samples and gives more brittle materials. Also, this action causes an increase in shear strength. Moreover, increasing in CBR amount under the influence of increasing RHA is one of the main results of this paper.     

Phosphate removal using compounds prepared from paper sludge and fly ash

Using waste as a resource to control phosphate pollution is a rising trend. This study describes the use of paper sludge (PS) and fly ash (FA), industrial solid wastes, to prepare materials with high phosphate uptake efficiency. The process consisted of pretreatment (mechanical milling), calcination, acidification (HCl), and post-treatment (aging, drying and grinding). The maximal phosphate uptake (>92 %) was achieved using PS together with FA either at PS/FA = 0.5 g/g or at PS/FA = 2.0 g/g, both calcined at 900 °C for 2 h and stirred with HCl (HCl/FA = 3 mL/g) for 1 h. With increasing calcination temperature and decreasing acid, the crystallinity of samples declined, and phosphate uptake (PU) increased. The PU process could be well described by the pseudo-second order kinetic model, while equilibrium state could be reasonably modeled by Langmuir isotherm. Neutral and weak alkaline pH promoted the PU efficiency, and 0.3 g sample/100 mL was the cost-effective dosage under the experimental conditions. The enhanced phosphate uptake of PS and FA provides alternative materials for phosphate removal from wastewater by the use of solid wastes in paper-making industries.     

Effect of the alkaline industrial residues fly ash,green liquor dregs,and lime mud on mine tailings oxidation when used as covering material

The potential to use the alkaline residue products fly ash, green liquor dregs, and lime mud originating from paper mills as dry cover materials to seal tailings has been investigated. Metals concentration in lime mud and fly ash had the lowest and highest contents, respectively. The tailings (<1 % sulfur content, primarily pyrite) were disposed about 50 years ago and originated from the former Rönnskär mine site in Sweden. The results of chemical composition analysis show that the raw unoxidized tailings are active toward oxidation, while the components of the adjacent oxidized tailings are not. To quantify the release of metals from the tailings and to evaluate the effect of a sealing layer on oxidation and weathering of the tailings, batch leaching tests were conducted in which leachate from alkaline residue materials was fed to the tailings. The results show that a higher concentration of most trace elements is leached from the unoxidized tailings than from the oxidized tailings. Except As and Cr, the rest of analyzed metals (Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb) became immobilized in response to the increased pH as a consequence of the amendment. The three tested alkaline amendments show a similar potential for preventing the release of metals (with the exception of As and Cr) from the tailings. Under either aerobic or anaerobic conditions, microbial activity was found to be of minor importance. XRD analysis of the field samples revealed that it was feasible to use alkaline residue products in covering tailings, and that it was advantageous to use ash as a cover material more than dregs.     

Evolution of acidity of hydrothermal fluids related to hydrolysis of chlorides

Composition of magmatogene fluids in respect of main components in a wide P-T range can be approximated by a system NaCl (± KCl)-CO₂-H₂O. The influence of H₂CO₃, H₃BO₃, H₂S and such rare component as NH₃ on fluids acidity appears to be insignificant. Therefore the acidity of supercritical fluids should be completely defined by dissociation constants of chloride hydrolysis products:

Stability and leaching of cobalt smelter fly ash

The leaching behaviour of fly ash from a Co smelter situated in the Zambian Copperbelt was studied as a function of pH (5–12) using the pH-static leaching test (CEN/TS 14997). Various experimental time intervals (48 h and 168 h) were evaluated. The leaching results were combined with the ORCHESTRA modelling framework and a detailed mineralogical investigation was performed on the original FA and leached solid residues. The largest amounts of Co, Cu, Pb and Zn were leached at pH 5, generally with the lowest concentrations between pH 9 and 11 and slightly increased concentrations at pH 12. For most elements, the released concentrations were very similar after 48 h and 168 h, indicating near-equilibrium conditions in the system. Calcite, clinopyroxenes, quartz and amorphous phases predominated in the fly ash. Various metallic sulfides, alloys and the presence of Cu, Co and Zn in silicates and glass were detected using SEM/EDS and/or TEM/EDS. The leaching of metals was mainly attributed to the dissolution of metallic particles. Partial dissolution of silicate and glass fractions was assumed to significantly influence the release of Ca, Mg, Fe, K, Al and Si as well as Cu, Co and Zn. The formation of illite was suggested by the ORCHESTRA modelling to be one of the main solubility-controlling phases for major elements, whereas Co and Zn were controlled by CoO and zincite, respectively. Sorption of metals on hydrous ferric oxides was assumed to be an important attenuation mechanism, especially for the release of Pb and Cu. However, there is a high risk of Co, Cu, Pb and Zn mobility in the acidic soils around the smelter facility. Therefore, potential local options for “stabilisation” of the fly ash were evaluated on the basis of the modelling results using the PHREEQC code.
