Abstract
The fly ash, a by-product of coal combustion in thermal power plants, is one of the most complex and abundant of anthropogenic materials, which large accumulations represent a serious environmental threat. To reduce the environmental burden and improve the economic benefits of energy production the science and industry focus on the transformation of coal combustion by-products into new functional materials. The fly ash of power plant (Pechora coal basin, Russia) and reaction products were studied by modern analytical methods. As a result of the hydrothermal reaction several types of zeolites were synthesized from the fly ash: analcime, faujasite (zeolite X) and gismondine (zeolite P). It was shown that the experimental conditions (temperature, reaction time and alkali concentration) have a significant influence on the type of zeolite and its content in the reaction products. The series of experiments resulted in more detailed schematic diagram of zeolites and other phases. New data on the sorption-structural characteristics and cation-exchange properties for NH4 +, Ba2+ и Sr2+ for the fly ash from Pechora basin coals were obtained.
