    Heat waste

    Increasing the temperature wil reduce the dissolved oxygen which the fish are rely so temperature is not increased in water bodies.

    Bottom Ash : falls to bottom of furnace, larger particles, heavier and it contains inorganic and organics that don’t burn.

    Fly Ash : Lighter by weight, smaller particles that “fly” up in the air and can be captured by air[pollution control equipment.

    Ashi is 25% by weight and 5% by volume of the original waste.

    Thus, combustion reduced waste mass by 75 and volume by 95%.

    Problem with ash :

    It disposal and potential environment contamination.

    Ash

    Test for determining whether metals leaching is a problem.

    LEAF : Leaching Environmental Assessment Framework.

    Concentration of leached metals is 100x drinking water, ash is classified as hazardous waste.

    Fly ash is often a hazardous waste; bottom ash is not.

    Mixture : Non-hazardous.

    Reduce metals leaching : use as n building blocks, add lime or limestone to raise pH so metals is in insoluble form,

    Beneficial ways to reuse ash:

    · Road base, asphalt concrete, Portland cement concrete

    · Adsorbents

    · Capping Strip mines
