19-78 DISTRIBUŢIA MINERALELOR ÎN CENUŞA DE HUILĂ DE LA TERMOCENTRALA PAROŞENI


MINERALS DISTRIBUTION IN COAL FLY ASH FROM
PAROSENI POWER PLANT
Large ash dumps, formed in time, are a high harmful potential for
environment. Our study points out the mineral contained in fly ash resulted at
Paroşeni power plant. The X-ray diffraction analysis reveals large amounts of
quartz, mullet, potasic feldspar, Seri cite and hydrated hematite. Microscopy
investigation prove that quartz particles keeps their initial equiaxial shape
meanwhile higher amount of mullet and hematite feature spherical shape due
to their melting during coal burning. The quantitative microscopic analysis
reveals three particles domains: the larger one having the average diameter of
100 μm, the intermediary one having the average diameter of 44 μm, and the
finest one having the average diameter of 23 μm. Quartz particles are often
found in the larger particle range, hematite hydrate and mullet are often found
in the intermediary particle range, meanwhile feldspar and Seri cite are situated
mainly in the finest particle range.
