Information brief

Contents on the CD Rom

  • Thermal Power Plants use mainly coal in India
  • The total production of fly ash per annum is said to have crossed one hundred million tones
  • Utilization of fly ash is much better now but still the percentage utilization is small & power plants have no option but to dispose the fly ash in ash pond.
  • Of the total Solid Waste generated in India, approximately 25% is
    residue from coal combustion
  • Pond ash is a mixture of dry fly ash and bottom ash
  • The trace elements
    like As, Cu, Pb, Ni, Zn, Co, V, Sc, Be, Cs, and Zr have been found in various concentrations in the ashes and these elements significantly enrich the pond ash
  • Heavy metal pollution index (HPI) is calculated based on the data of the ash ponds to see the extent of pollution
  • Extraction and leaching of various heavy metals like Zn, Ni, Cu, Fe, Pb, Mn, Mg, and Cd was carried out by applying batch leach test and toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP) to check the possibility of ground water contamination.
