Process for Diminishing the Adsorptive Capacity of Coal Ash

摘要

Disclosed is a process for diminishing the adsorption capacity of coal ash comprising inter alia admixing a quantity of coal ash with a quantity of latex polymer, ultimately to form a cementitious mixture. The invention is useful inter alia for relieving an environmental burden of coal ash disposal and for imparting favorable properties to the cementitious mixture.

主权项

1. A process for diminishing the adsorption capacity of a quantity of coal ash, the process comprising:
(a) admixing the quantity of coal ash with a quantity of a latex polymer to form a first mixture; (b) slaking the first mixture; (c) admixing the first mixture with a cementitious substance to form a cementitious mixture; and (d) slaking the cementitious mixture;thereby persistently surrounding each of a plurality of particles of the quantity of coal ash with at least a portion of the quantity of the latex polymer, diminishing the adsorption capacity of the quantity of coal ash.
