Abstract: Methods, processes, and systems for reducing the solubility of toxic constituents found in coal combustion residues are provided. In one embodiment, methods for adding chemical reagents to the coal combustion process that changes the chemical composition of the coal combustion residues and convert the form of a toxic constituents to one with lower aqueous solubility is provided. In some embodiments compounds containing toxic constituents are converted to compounds that are less soluble in aqueous solvents. In various embodiments, the chemical reactions are aided by the ambient heat at various zones within the coal combustion system. In some embodiments, precursor reagents are added to the coal combustion system and converted to reagents to aid in interacting with toxic constituents or compounds. In various embodiments, the reagent or reagent precursor is added before, during, or after the coal combustion zone.

Abstract: A cementitious mixture that is comprised of class C fly ash and other industrial waste product such as either bottom ash or economizer ash. The mixture is preferably 15-35% weight class C fly ash based on the total weight of the mixture. The mixture excludes Portland cement, or other similar cement products. The dry mixture is placed in a desired location or form. Water is then added to the mixture when desired in order to harden the mixture in place. The cementitious mixture is particularly useful for securing fence posts, or the like, in the earth as the workability of the mixture is maintained by adding the water to the mixture only after the position has been properly plumbed and placed in the hole. The cementitious mixture thus provides an inexpensive alternative to standard blended cement products, and provides a convenient and effective way of securing fence posts to the earth.

Abstract: This invention pertains to a process of making ASTM quality masonry cement, mortar cement, and stucco cement (also called plastic cement) and to the products themselves which are useful in making ASTM quality mortar for masonry construction or ASTM quality stucco for plastering construction. These cements are classified as hydraulic cements and are made using selected pozzolan(s), such as natural pozzolan and fly ashes, Portland Cement, hydrated lime, and an air-entraining agent. Other additives, such as fibers, may be added to further modify its properties. The pozzolans act as functional ingredients in the mix rather than as a filler. As a result, concentrations of greater than 25 wt. % and more pozzolan can be produced.
