Ash Waste to Products

 

A synergistic partnership between WRP members and minerals experts from academia completed a major development program.  Two high-volume former waste materials were processed into a family of useful products.

  1. Coal ash and bio-solids are the raw materials used to generate value-added products. Robert Mensah-Biney, "An Integrated Separation Technology for Processing Coal Comsumption By-Products and Organic Bio-solids."

  2. An in-depth feasibility probe shows the commercial potential of the process.  Ken Butcher, "Integrated Coal Ash Processing Plant Business Feasibility Study.

  3. "Cover story from "Ash at Work" magazine.

  4. Fly ash is combined with other industrial byproducts for an outdoor product application.  Elaine Marten, "Stepping Stones from Waste Products."
