Characterization and modes of occurrence of elements in feed coal and fly ash - an integrated approach

Miscellaneous ·
OSTI ID:20781517
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is collaborating with several electric utilities to determine the chemical and mineralogical properties of feed coal and fly ash. The first study analyzed coal and fly ash from a Kentucky power plant, which uses many different bituminous coals from the Appalachian and Illinois Basins. Sulfur content of these feed coals ranged from 2.5 to 3.5 percent. The second study analyzed coal and fly ash from an Indiana power plant, which uses subbituminous coal from the Powder River Basin. Sulfur content of this feed coal ranged from 0.23 to 0.47 percent. A summary of important aspects of the approach and results are presented in this report. 10 refs., 8 figs., 2 tabs.
