First, CCPs are ideally suited for use innumerous reclamation applications. Any type of CCP may beevaluated for use in mine reclam

34、ation. 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 in bulkquantities and reduce expenditures for the manufacture andpurchase of Portland cement or qu

35、icklime. Third, large-scaleuse of CCPs for mine reclamation conserves valuable landfillspace by recycling 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 availabilit

36、y of CCPs makes it possibleto reclaim abandoned mineland that could not otherwise bereclaimed. The potential for leaching constituents contained inCCPs should be evaluated to ensure that there is no adverseenvironmental impact.4.2 Physical and Chemical Properties and Behavior ofCCPsFly ash, bottom a

37、sh, 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 reclamation project using CCPs. The specificproperties of these materi

38、als 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 is the weight per unitvolume of material. Fly ash has a low dry unit

39、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 relatively lightweight,with unit weights similar to fly ash.4.2.1.2 Streng

40、thShear 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.The shear strength of non-self-hardening fly ash is primarilythe resu

41、lt 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 beachieved for cementitious CCPs.4.2.1.3 Specific GravitySpecific gravi

42、ty 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 compared to that of natural materials, andgenerally ranges from 2.1 to 2

43、.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 ContentMoisture content is the ratio ofthe mass of water contained in

44、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 moisture to facilitate transport andhandling, a process termed “conditi

45、oning.”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). These permeabili-ties are comparable to natural silty soils.4.2.2 Chemi

46、cal Properties:4.2.2.1 Elemental CompositionThe major elemental com-ponents of CCPs are silica, aluminum, iron, calcium,magnesium, sodium, potassium, and sulfur. These elements arepresent in various amounts and combinations dependent pri-marily on the coal and type of CCP. The elements combine tofor

47、m amorphous (glassy) or crystalline phases. Trace constitu-ents may include elements such as arsenic, boron, cadmium,chromium, copper, chlorine, mercury, manganese,molybdenum, selenium, or zinc.4.2.2.2 Phase AssociationsThe primary elemental con-stituents of CCPs are present either as amorphous (gla

48、ssy)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), hannebachite(CaSO312 H2O), and forms of calcium sulfate.4.2.2.3 Free Lime Cont

49、entFree 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 efficiency 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 lime whereas quicklime contains 1
