Characteristics Anthracite contains a high amount of fixed carbon80 to 95 percentand very low sulfur and nitrogenless than 1 percent each Volatile matter is low at approximately 5 percent with 10 to 20 percent ash possible Moisture content is roughly 5 to 15 percent
Because coal fly ash is the primary constituent of the ash ponds that are the subject of this report and is a material with a high economic value when replacing Portland Cement in concrete mixtures it is used as an additional term in this report to refer specifically to that material

Fixed carbon is calculated by subtracting the percentage of ash moisture and volatile matter from 100 Ash is the residue left after all the combustible material in the coal is burned Ash is an undesirable part of the coal Ash increases maintenance costs and can reduce plant reliability
Coal one of the most important primary fossil fuels a solid carbonrich material usually brown or black that most often occurs in stratified sedimentary deposits which may later be subjected to high temperatures and pressures during mountain building resulting in
Ash samples were tested from the three major coal ranks lignite subbituminous and bituminous Investigations over a range of inlet gas temperatures from 900°C to 1120°C showed that deposition increased with temperature though the threshold for deposition varied with ash type
Coal ash is the waste that is left after coal is combusted burned It includes fly ash fine powdery particles that are carried up the smoke stack and captured by pollution control devices as well as coarser materials that fall to the bottom of

Subbituminous coal combustion can lead to hazardous emissions that include particulate matter PM sulfur oxides SOx nitrogen oxides NOx and mercury Hg It also produces ash that has higher alkaline content than other coal ash This characteristic can help reduce acid rain typically caused by coalfired power plant emissions
The type of byproduct ie bottom ash or boiler slag produced depends on the type of furnace used to burn the coal Bottom Ash The most common type of coalburning furnace in the electric utility industry is the dry bottom pulverized coal boiler When pulverized coal is burned in a dry bottom boiler about 80 percent of the unburned
Coal ash recycling poses health risks especially where the ash is exposed to water for example when sprinkled as cinders on snowy roads spread as agricultural fertilizer or used as a landfill or to fill abandoned mines These uses risk leaching into ground water or surface water
