Newer technologies for resource recovery from coal combustion solid wastes

Abstract: One of the most important technical issues of the 1980s is the effective and economical disposal or utilization of solid wastes. In the case of coal wastes, the electric utility, the end user, the regulatory community, and the public share responsibility for taking action. Ash and flue-gas desulfurization sludge produced annually in the United States alone total over 90 million tons, only a small fraction of which is utilized. World-wide research on utilization has advanced to the stage where problems are defined and some processes are ready for development. The future calls for a longer-term, more comprehensive approach and work on new waste forms that are resulting from new technologies for controlling sulfur oxides (SOx) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions.
