This paper presents an assessment of the disposal, utilization, and recycle of a modified fly ash from the injection of hydrated lime into a coal-fired utility boiler. The hydrated lime injection process is being developed by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a low-cost alternative for achieving moderate degrees of SO/sub 2/ control at coal-fired power plants. In this process, hydrated lime is injected into the upper furnace where the flue gas temperature is about 2200{sup 0}F (1200{sup 0}C). The hydrated lime decomposes, and the resulting quicklime, CaO, captures SO/sub 2/ according to a formula given.
