The American Coal Ash Association reports that in 1992 over 81 million tons of ash and scrubber residue was generated in the United States by utilities from coal combustion in traditional combustion systems. Historically, this ash and scrubber residue has been treated as a waste product and disposed of by placing in landfills. With increased environmental awareness and recognizing that the ash represents, in many cases, a usable product, increased emphasis has been placed on utilizing the ash. Today, approximately 25% of ash and scrubber residue generated is commercially utilized.
