Significance and Use4.1 GeneralCCPs can effectively be used to reclaimsurface mines (5-10). First, CCPs are ideally suited f

32、or use innumerous reclamation applications. Any type of CCP may beevaluated for use in mine reclamation. Project specific testingis necessary to ensure that the CCPs selected for use on a givenproject will meet the project objectives. Second, the use ofCCPs can save money because they are available

33、in bulkquantities and reduce expenditures for the manufacture andpurchase of Portland cement or quicklime. Third, large-scale3The boldface numbers in parentheses refer to the list of references at the end ofthis standard.E2278042use of CCPs for mine reclamation conserves valuable landfillspace by re

34、cycling a valuable product to abate acid minedrainage and reduce the potential for mine subsidence, pro-vided that the CCP is environmentally and technically suitablefor the desired use. The availability of CCPs makes it possibleto reclaim abandoned mineland that could not otherwise bereclaimed.4.2

35、Physical and Chemical Properties and Behavior ofCCPsFly ash, bottom ash, boiler slag, FGD material andFBC ash, or combinations thereof, can be used for minereclamation. Each of these materials typically exhibits generalphysical and chemical properties that must be considered in thedesign of a mine r

36、eclamation project using CCPs. The specificproperties of these materials vary from source to source soenvironmental and engineering performance testing is recom-mended for the material(s) or combinations to be used in minereclamation projects.4.2.1 Physical Properties:4.2.1.1 Unit WeightUnit weight

37、is the weight per unitvolume of material. Fly ash has a low dry unit weight, typicallyabout 50 to 100 pcf (8 to 16 kN/m3). Bottom ash is alsotypically lighter than coarse grained soils of similar gradation.Stabilized FGD material from a wet scrubber and FGDmaterial from a dry scrubber are also relat

38、ively lightweight,with unit weights similar to fly ash.4.2.1.2 StrengthShear strength is the maximum resistanceof a material to shearing stresses. The relatively high shearstrength of fly ash is beneficial for CCP flowable fill formula-tions requiring strengths sufficient to prevent mine subsidence.

39、The shear strength of non-self-hardening fly ash is primarilythe result of internal friction. Cementitious CCPs experience acementing action that is measured as cohesion and increasesover time, which results in high compressive strength. Uncon-fined compressive strengths in excess of 1000 psi can be

40、achieved for cementitious CCPs.4.2.1.3 Specific GravitySpecific gravity is the ratio of theweight in air of a given volume of solids at a stated temperatureto the weight in air of an equal volume of distilled water at astated temperature. The particle specific gravity of fly ash isrelatively low com

41、pared to that of natural materials, andgenerally ranges from 2.1 to 2.6.4.2.1.4 Grain-Size DistributionGrain-size distribution de-scribes the proportion of various particle sizes present in amaterial. Fly ash is a uniformly-graded product with spherical,very fine grained particles.4.2.1.5 Moisture C

42、ontentMoisture content is the ratio ofthe mass of water contained in the pore spaces of soil or rockmaterial to the solid mass of particles in that material,expressed as a percentage. CCPs have almost no moisturewhen first collected after the combustion of coal. Power plantoperators sometimes add mo

43、isture to facilitate transport andhandling, a process termed “conditioning.”4.2.1.6 Coeffcient of PermeabilityPermeability is the ca-pacity of a material to transmit a liquid. When compacted to itsmaximum dry density, fly ash can have permeabilities rangingfrom 10 to 10-3gpd/ft2(10-4to 10-7cm/s). Th

44、ese permeabili-ties are comparable to natural silty soils.4.2.2 Chemical Properties:4.2.2.1 Elemental CompositionThe major elemental com-ponents of CCPs are silica, aluminum, iron, calcium, magne-sium, sodium, potassium, and sulfur. These elements arepresent in various amounts and combinations depen

45、dent pri-marily on the coal and type of CCP. The elements combine toform amorphous (glassy) or crystalline phases. Trace constitu-ents may include elements such as arsenic, boron, cadmium,chromium, copper, chlorine, mercury, manganese, molybde-num, selenium, or zinc.4.2.2.2 Phase AssociationsThe pri

46、mary elemental con-stituents of CCPs are present either as amorphous (glassy)phases or crystalline phases. Coal combustion fly ash istypically 70+ % amorphous material. FGD and FBC productsare primarily crystalline, and the crystalline phases typicallyinclude lime (CaO), portlandite (Ca(OH)2), hanne

47、bachite(CaSO312 H2O), and forms of calcium sulfate.4.2.2.3 Free Lime ContentFree lime content varies amongCCP sources and other potential activators (for example, limekiln dust, cement kiln dust, quicklime, or Portland cement).Variability of free lime content in CCP sources is due to thetype and eff

48、iciency of the emissions control technology that isused. FBC products typically contain up to 10 % free lime,while most Class F fly ash has no free lime content. The freelime content of other potential activators is also variable. Forexample, cement kiln dust typically ranges from 20 to 30 %free lim

49、e whereas quicklime contains 100 % free lime.4.2.2.4 Pozzolanic ActivityMost CCPs, with the exceptionof FGD material, are characterized as pozzolans due to thepresence of siliceous or siliceous and aluminous materials thatin themselves possess little or no cementitious value but will,in finely divided form and in the presence of moisture,chemically react with calcium hydroxide at ordinary tempera-tures to form compounds possessing cementitious properties.4.2.2.5 Buffer CapacityThe buffer capacity of the CCP isimportant in maintaining the high pH that
