Large quantities of solid waste generated from households, offices, shops, markets, restaurants, public institutions, industrial installations, water works and sewage facilities, construction and demolition sites, and agricultural activities It causes environmental problems such as groundwater contamination, atmospheric and water pollution, etc when it is disposed in landfills Fly ash is the byproduct of the coal combustion process for energy generation and remains a major problem in many parts of the world The large amounts of fly ash are produced and the annual production of it has continued to increase The disposal of fly ash may cause long-term adverse environmental effects In this study, the silicon and aluminum in two different Turkish fly ashes (Afsin-Elbistan and Catalagz?) were activated by fusion with sodium hydroxide The obtained leachates were analyzed for silicon and aluminum content by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) In addition, the mineralogical and chemical properties of these fly ashes are compared Copyright © 2013 IFAC.
