The increase in the number of coal-fired power plants with the increase in coal production and its consumption has caused the problem of the treatment of a large amount of coal ash in Indonesia. In the past studies, coal ash was applied to postmine land with the aim of improving soil conditions for plant growth; however, heavy rain in the tropical climate may cause soil erosion with the change in soil conditions. This study presents the effects of application of coal ash to postmine land on soil erosion by performing the artificial rainfall test as well as physical testing. The results indicate that the risk of soil erosion can be reduced significantly by applying the coal ash which consists of more than 85% of sand to topsoil in the postmine land at the mixing ratio of over 30%. Additionally, they reveal that not only fine fractions but also microporous structures in coal ash enhance water retention capacity by retaining water in the structure, leading to the prevention of soil erosion. Thus, the risk of soil erosion can be reduced by applying coal ash to topsoil in consideration of soil composition and microporous structure of coal ash.

Soil erosion is one of the major environmental problems in open-cut mines in tropical regions. It causes negative impacts including the removal of nutrient-rich topsoil, destroys aquatic habitat, dam and pond siltation, clogs river by deposition of sediment, and causes water pollution in the rehabilitation process. Soil texture is an important factor to affect soil erosion. In this study, artificial rainfall experiment in the laboratory scale was conducted to clarify the mechanism of soil erosion under the different soil composition and to discuss the methods for minimizing soil erosion. The obtained results showed that the soil seal generated due to the presence of fine particle under high rainfall intensity is the main contributor to accelerate the soil erosion. Additionally, the surface coverage by the cover crops is the most effective measure to reduce soil erosion because both the coarse and fine contents runoff can be minimized while arranging of the slope angle is effective for reducing the runoff of coarse contents and the soil compaction is effective to reduce that of fine contents. Soil erosion can be minimized by selecting prevention method considering the type of soil because the prevention effect on soil erosion is different depending on the type of soil.

Circulating Fluidized Bed Combustion

Coal-derived power comprises over 39% of the world’s power production. Therefore, a mass volume of coal combustion byproducts are generated and shifted the extra burden onto the economy and environment. Circulating fluidized bed combustion (CFBC) has been found to be a clean and ultimate technology for Korea’s coal-fired power plants to have effective power generation from low-grade imported coal with reduced emissions. Efforts have been made to broaden the utilization of CFBC coal ash, and to promote sustainable development of CFBC technology. Investigations provided numerous evidences for coal ash to be a potential deposit for rare earths reclamation. However, the basic characteristics and the methods of rare earth mining from the CFBC bottom ash lack detailed understanding and are poorly reported. This study highlighted an insight of the CBFC bottom ash with respect to REEs concentration. Moreover, agents were tested as a means for leaching REEs from Samcheok CFBC bottom ash. The leaching tests were performed in relation to variations in concentration, time and temperature. The results were applied to identify suitable processes to leach REEs from the ash and clarify the potential valuation of CFBC bottom ash. The leaching conditions attained by ANOVA analysis for hydrochloric concentration, temperature, and time of 2 mol L−1, 80 °C, and 12 h, were found to provide a maximum extraction of yttrium, neodymium and dysprosium of 62.1%, 55.5% and 65.2%, respectively.

The growing demand for electricity resulted in the construction of many coal fired power plants. The increment of the consumption of coal by power plants lead up to production of coal ash. Coal ash contains a range of toxic elements that may have negative effects to human and environmental health. Fly ash (FA) and bottom ash (BA) are the solid residues and mostly arise from coal combustion that being disposed in large quantities every year. The focus of the study is to determine the leachability of Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) incorporated with FA and BA by using Static Leachate Test (SLT) method. In this study, FA and BA were collected from Kapar Energy Ventures Coal Power Plant in Selangor. The characteristics of Ordinary Portland cement (OPC), FA and BA were determined by using X-Ray Fluorescent (XRF) technique. The different percentages of FA (replace cement) and BA (replace sand) which is 0%, 10%, 20% and 30% were incorporated respectively into SCC. Ten reactors were set up for the leachability test for each solid specimen by using SLT method. The concentrations of leachate samples were analyzed for selected heavy metals content by using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) method. After 40 days conducting the test, the concentrations of selected heavy metals (As, Mn, Cu, Cr, Zn, Ni, Fe and Pb) in the synthetic acid rain leachates from the SCC specimens were significantly lower than the limit specified by the USEPA and EPAV. Therefore, incorporating of FA and BA up to 30% into SCC is potentially feasible.

Merapi Volcano Eruption in 2010 led to physical changes in the Opak Sub Watershed in Sleman Regency. They include changes in land use/cover and soil conditions which consequently change the watershed response to rainfall, as well as the nature of generated flood. This research aimed to (1) determine land use/cover change in the upstream area of Opak Watershed after Merapi Volcano eruption in 2010, and (2) assess the changes in water retention capacity of the soil after the eruption of Merapi Volcano in 2010 and its impact on the environment. Land use change was analyzed with temporal remote sensing imagery with high resolution. Retention capacity was assessed using SCS-CN method. The results of both assessments were, then, used to formulate recommendations for management in Opak Sub Watershed. The analysis showed that Merapi Volcano eruption in 2010 caused 63% of land use/cover to become vacant and changes in surface material and watershed boundaries. In addition, it was determined that the post-eruption retention capacity had been increasing. This indicates that changes in material are likely to affect retention capacity much more than changes in land use/cover.

This research on the utilization of coal-ash that is wasted at the coal-fired power plant is conducted with the intention to become an effort to alleviate environmental impact of the power plant. The by-production of such waste in coal-fired power plants is a direct consequence of the rising demand on electricity as one of human basic needs in modern lifestyle. Endeavor to save the environment is a manifestation of the good culture of environmental awareness; indeed, human being shall act responsibly for the soundness of the environment. Some sufficient amounts in different composition of coal bottom-ash from a coal-fired power plant mixed with another medium were implemented toward a variety of plants, i.e. a certain type of Orchid (“Moon” Orchid or Phalaenopsis amabilis), Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) , and Sansevieria. A series of mixed medium with different composition (each particular composition is in triplicate), is prepared consisting of 0%, 25%, 50%. 75%, and 100% of Bottom Ash, consecutively. The observed result shows that Bottom Ash is not suitable for the orchid plant as its medium. This more probably results from the fact that the pH of Bottom Ash tends to be more alkaline, while the Orchid plant would only be growing optimally in acidic - normal condition. In the case of Tomato plant, Bottom Ash is usable to be the plant growing medium; in fact an increase of Bottom Ash percentage expedites the plant growth from its seed to become small plants. Another plant under observation is Sansivieria. Bottom Ash turns out to be suitable as a medium for this plant. In fact, this type of plant remains growing steadily and normally in media with variable percentage of Bottom Ash, all along the research procedure. Bottom Ash contains some nutrient that are beneficial to plants, such as Boron (B), Phosphorus (P) and among other elements are Cu, Zn, Mn, Mo dan Se. Most of coal-ashes tend to be alkaline with pH ranging from 8 to12.

AbstractThroughout the world, coal is responsible for generating approximately 38% of power. Coal ash, a waste product, generated from the combustion of coal, consists of fly ash, bottom ash, boiler slag, and flue gas desulfurization material. Fly ash, which is the main component of coal ash, is composed of spherical particulate matter with diameters that range from 0.1 μm to >100 μm. Fly ash is predominately composed of silica, aluminum, iron, calcium, and oxygen, but the particles may also contain heavy metals such as arsenic and lead at trace levels. Most nations throughout the world do not consider fly ash a hazardous waste and therefore regulations on its disposal and storage are lacking. Fly ash that is not beneficially reused in products such as concrete is stored in landfills and surface impoundments. Fugitive dust emissions and leaching of metals into groundwater from landfills and surface impoundments may put people at risk for exposure. There are limited epidemiological studies regarding the health effects of fly ash exposure. In this article, the authors provide an overview of fly ash, its chemical composition, the regulations from nations generating the greatest amount of fly ash, and epidemiological evidence regarding the health impacts associated with exposure to fly ash.

Sandy soil has limitations factor in supporting plant growth such as low soil organic carbon (SOC), cation exchange capacity (CEC), macro-micro nutrient content, water retention capacity, and high permeability rate. To improve soil conditions, it can be done by adding mycorrhizae and soil amendments. This study aimed to determine the effect of mycorrhizae application and soil amendments on the P availability and P uptake of plants in sandy soil. The research was conducted in a greenhouse of Agricultural Faculty, Sebelas Maret University. Used a completely randomized design consisting of 2 factors. The first factor was mycorrhizae with 2 levels, namely without mycorrhizae (M0) and mycorrhizae with 6 spores/plants (M1). The second factor was soil amendments; without amendment (P0), cow manure 60 tons/ha (P1), rock phosphate 150 kg/ha (P2), and combination of cow manure 60 tons/ha and rock phosphate 150 kg/ha (P3). The results showed that the application of mycorrhizae and soil amendments significantly increased available P, SOC, CEC, P concentration, and P uptake. Interaction of mycorrhizae 6 spores/plant and rock phosphate 150 kg/ha was able to increase the availability of soil P up to 12.8 times, plant tissue P concentration up to 1.4 times, and P uptake up to 2.27 times compared to the control. Application of mycorrhizae 6 spores/plant and cow manure of 60 tons/ha gave the best results on SOC and mycorrhizae with a combination of cow manure and rock phosphate gave the best results on CEC.

Climate change is recognized as a global problem and even the industrial and construction sectors are trying to reduce the green-house gas emissions, especially on CO2 emissions. In Vietnam, the coal-fired thermal power plants are discharging millions of tons of CO2 and coal ash annually. This coal ash is comprised of about 80% of fly ash and the rest is bottom ash. This study would like to introduce one of the potential solutions in a carbon-constrained society that would not only manage the fly ash but also utilized this as raw material for green materials through geopolymerization. The geopolymer-based material has lower energy consumption, minimal CO2 emissions and lower production cost as it valorizes industrial waste. The fly ash containing high alumino-silicate resources from a coal-fired power plant in Vietnam was mixed with sodium silicate and sodium hydroxide solutions to obtain the geopolymeric pastes. The pastes were molded in 10x10x20cm molds and then cured at room temperature for 28 days. The 28-day geopolymer specimens were carried out to test for engineering properties such as compressive strength (MPa), volumetric weight (kg/m3), and water absorption (kg/m3). The microstructure analysis was also conducted for this eco-friendly materials using X ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Differential Thermal Analysis - Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (DTA-TGA).

Indonesia coal ash is predicted to reach 10.8 million tons in the year 2020 but its utilization is still limited. In the last decade, coal ash has become a promising REY source candidate. To determine the potency of REY in Indonesia coal ash, information about element concentration and mineralogy of the ash is essential. In this study, coal ash samples were taken from Paiton-2, Pacitan, Rembang, and Tanjung Jati coal-fired power plants. Element content and mineralogy were analyzed using Inductive Couple Plasma Mass Spectroscopy/Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-MS/AES), X-Ray Diffractometer (XRD) and petrographic. The results showed that coal fly ash and bottom ash contains critical REY in the range of 38% to 41% with Coutlook larger than one. XRD analysis showed that both fly ash and bottom ash have similar mineral phases with slightly different concentrations. The mineral phase is dominated by amorphous glass, quartz, Fe-bearing minerals, and unburned carbon. The amorphous glass phase in fly ash is in the range of 23 to 34% while in bottom ash between 14 and 34%. Unburned carbon content in fly ash and bottom ashes are 7-13% and 7-19%, respectively. Fe-bearing mineral content in fly ash is 15-20% and bottom ash is 13-20%. In addition, Indonesia coal ash has a higher Heavy-REY enrichment factor than Light-REY. The Enrichment Factor of HREY in fly ash is as much as 1.3 times (in average) of the bottom ash.
