Complex Technology of Ash and Slag Waste from Power Plants

Abstract

The development of a comprehensive technology for the processing of ash waste (ASW), which is based on the extraction of carbon from the CSO by flotation method and iron-containing minerals by means of magnetic separation, is presented. The proposed approach is based on the extraction of carbon from ash and slag by flotation and iron-containing minerals by magnetic separation. In this work, the optimal size of the ash fraction supplied for flotation was established. It is shown that when the technological process is carried out according to the stadium scheme when flotation reagents are fed in fractions, it allows their consumption to be reduced and the recovery of carbon concentrate from underburning to be significantly increased. The developed technology was tested on a pilot plant. High-quality carbon, iron-containing and aluminosilicate products were obtained. Auxiliary enrichment processes such as classification, thickening and filtration were tested.
