Building industry is the most important market for energy by-products (EBP) - fossil fuel combustion products. The North West Bohemia region has been influenced by open pit coal mining. Fossil fuel combustion products are used in bulk at damaged territory reclamation. Check observation – monitoring – site of building reclamation mixtures on coal combustion product base was assembled according to preparatory documentation as a part of the solution of research task “Research of the physical and chemical proper...

Various heavy metals contained in fuel are released to environment at fossil fuels use. Mercury has come to front of public interest recently. The North West Bohemia region is an area with high potential concentration of Hg emission sources (open pit brown coal mines) and large combustion facilities (power and heat stations) combusting fossil fuels. Mercury is taken for one of the most environment loading matters because its stability and bioaccumulation potential of itself and its compounds. More detailed regulat...

Combustion product production increases with growing demand for energy produced by fossil fuel combustion. Their amount is higher in every year and new way of their use must be looked for. The combustion products can be largely used in a building industry where light ashes are applicable admixture for a concrete production or as a partial substitution of cement. Other way of use is at reclamation and improvement where the combustion products can be applied for back filling or rampart creation. The objective of the...

A combustion product production has increased in Czechia in recent years. The ways must be looked for how to use the combustion products effectively. One of the ways is to use them as building mixtures suitable for building purposes and for reclamation redevelopment works. Types of building mixtures based on combustion products were designed and their qualitative parameters were long term observed in the frame of the solution of a research proposal under the title “Research of physical and chemical properties of...

Aim of the work is long-time monitoring of building reclamation mixtures on fly ash basis in pilot plant terms. The objective is to obtain a conclusive result set to prove that the interests of environment and people’s health protection are not endangered in the relation with natural geological surroundings by variant bulk mass mining technological utilisation in the area of open pit mines or a power industry. A rigorous assessment of the referential qualitative parameters of monitoring points environment is rep...

The utilisation of fly ash must be searched for because of its current production. One possibility of the use is at old mines liquidation, where the ash can be used as a consolidated filling material. The consolidated filling material consisting of conventional fly ashes consolidated by a hydraulic binding material is transported to a pit in a suitable slurry consistency which ensures the strength for definite pit sections up to 5 MPa. Common requirements on physico-mechanical qualities are the pressure strength m...
