ThThe purpose of this study is to investigate the compressive strength properties of fly ash using water eluted from recycled coarse aggregate. When fly ash come into contact with water, they have not a autonomously chemical reaction. But fly ash is a pozzolan reaction when fly ash come into contact with water and calcium hydroxide(Ca(OH)2) in alkaline environment. For that reason, if water eluted from recycled coarse aggregate use mixture water, fly ash is expected to reaction of pozzolan reaction property in early stage. According to the experimentation result, ICP-MS analysis showed water eluted from recycled coarse aggregate has a high alkali-ash value of pH of 12 and over. And mixing ratio 30% fly ash mortar using water eluted from recycled coarse aggregate showed a similar strength of plain mortar due to the pozzolan reaction. Also, poor strength in initial age, disadvantage of mortar using fly ash, can be improved as hydration in early age is expedited due to calcium hydroxide(Ca(OH)₂) and unhydrated cement component eluted from recycled aggregate mortar.

To investigate the utilization of fly ash in agriculture, sorghum [Sorghum bicolor(L.) Moench] was used as the test crop. Soil was treated in pot experiments with anthracite and bituminous fly ash at 5 levels of 0, 6, 12, 18, and 24%, respectively. Growth status in terms of plant height and the number of nodes was improved in the order of bituminous treatment > anthracite treatment > control. The increment of fly ash had a positive effects on plant growth in both anthracite and bituminous treatment. The ratio of the senescent leaves to the all leaves during the maturing period was higher in fly ash treatments than in the control. As increasing the fly ash treatment, the ratio of senescent leaves was increased. Total yield was higher in the order of bituminous treatment > anthracite treatment > control. Grain yield also was higher in fly ash treatment than in the control. Bituminous fly ash treatments were more favourable in grain yield than anthracite. The increment of up to 12% fly ash to soil increased grain yield in both anthracite and bituminous. Application of bituminous fly ash could be recommended due to the fact that high pH of soil is favorable for growth of sorghum.

Pot experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of fly ash on growth responses and on accumulation of the heavy metals in soil. Two kinds of fly ash, anthracite and bituminous coal, were treated with different levels of 0, 0.4, 0.8, and 1.2 kg/pot(20L). Tobacco growth was better by application of fly ash than that by the control. However, the early stage of growth by application of bituminous coal, 1.2 kg/pot, was decreased due to the boron toxicity occurred by fly ash. Generally, tobacco yield was significantly increased with applying fly ash, showing the highest yield at 1.2 kg/pot for anthracite and at 0.8 kg/pot for bituminous coal. The content of total nitrogen in leaves was higher with fly ash than that of the control, while the content of calcium in leaves was low, Contents of heavy metal and the other minerals were not significantly different between the control and the treatment of fly ash. Soil pH after experiment was linearly increased with application level of fly ash, indicating that the application of bituminous coal was more effective than that of anthracite. Contents of available phosphate, exchangeable $Ca^{2+}$+ and $Mg^{2+}$ in soil were increased by application of fly ash, especially with bituminous coal. Contents of Cu, Cr, and Ni were increased with application level of bituminous coati even if the contents were still lower than critical levels for farming land. The other heavy metals were similar between the control and the application of fly ash.

Recently, there have been many efforts to establish suitable processes for recycling fly ash, which is produced in thermal power plants and which poses serious environmental problems. Use of fly ash as a major ingredient of ceramic tiles can increase fly ash utilization, as well as reduce the cost of raw materials in ceramic tile production. In this study, the effects of fly ash addition on ceramic tile properties such as bending strength, water absorption and porosity were investigated. A manufacturing process of ceramic tile was developed for utilization of fly ash with high carbon content. In this approach, it is important to hold the ceramic tiles at a temperature that is sufficient for carbon oxidation, before the pores supplying oxygen to the inside of the ceramic tile are sealed. Ceramic wall tiles were manufactured with 0-40wt% of fly ash addition. The water absorption and porosity of the fired body were slightly changed with increasing fly ash content up to 30wt% and decreased with greater amounts of fly ash addition. The bending strength of ceramic tile including 10wt% fly ash increased, reaching a level comparable to that of ceramic tile without fly ash.

The purpose of this study is investigating characteristics of the concrete containing Fly-ash according to different 4 mix design, that is, the first mix design is partial replace Fly-ash of cement, second is partial replace Fly-ash of cement and fine aggregate, third is partial replace Fly-ash of fine aggregate, fourth partial replacement of fine and coarse aggregate. For this purpose, selected test variables were water-binder ratio with two levels of 45%, 50%, and Fly-ash contents with four levels 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, As the result of this study are as follow. 1) The result of mix design of a partial replacement of cement, the slump-flow value was appeared a promotive effect of viscosity. But in case of the over with Fly-ash 10% and the other mix design was not changed slump value. 2) The unit weight of the mixing rate with Fly-ash 0% was $1.875{\sim}1.884t/m^3$, the other mix design 10% over with Fly-ash was $1.846{\sim}1.615t/m^3$, the difference was appeared less about 15% than that. 3) In design, partial replace Fly-ash of fine aggregate, this compressive strength was appeared that the concrete age after 7 days was higher than in partial replacement of cement, therefore, the default of a concrete with Fly-ash, that is the earlier compressive strength was to lessen, was improved. 4) The thermal conductivity of the all mix design was $0.447{\sim}1.144kcal/mh^{\circ}C$, this value was as good as a lightweight aggregate concrete.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of fly-ash on strength development and durability of latex-modified concrete (LMC) and ordinary portland cement concrete (OPC). Main experimental variables were latex contents (0%, 10%, 15%) and fly-ash content (0, 10%, 20%, 30%). Air content and slump tests were performed to check the basic properties of fresh concretes, and compressive strength, flexural strength, rapid chloride ion permeability and chemical resistance were measured to analyze the basic properties of hardened concretes. The test results showed that air contents of LMC with fly ash decreased as fly-ash contents increased from 0% to 30%. Compressive and flexural strength developments of LMC with fly ash were quite similar to those of LMC without fly ash. However, the long-term flexural strength development of LMC with fly ash after 90 days were bigger than that of LMC without fly ash. Chloride ion permeability and chemical resistance decreased rapidly as the content of fly ash increased. Thus, fly ash could be used at LMC in order to reduce water permeability.

Fabrication of mortar containing fly ash for high strength structural material was investigated by using a Mechanochemically Processed Cement (MPC) and/or Fly Ash (MPFA), which was compared to the specimen (at the same fabrication condition of fly ash adding contents (10, 20 and 30 wt%) and curing time (7 and 28 days)) fabricated by using Ball-mill Processed Cement (BPC) and As Received Fly Ash (ARFA) in terms with compressive strength and microstructures. Mortar specimen fabricated by using MPC and ARFA showed 5-11% higher compressive strength than that in the case of using BPC and ARFA, and mortar specimen by using BPC and MPFA represented 10-20% higher compressive strength than that for the case of using BPC and ARFA. Furthermore, mortar specimen fabricated by simultaneously using MPC and MPFA exhibited about 24% higher value of compressive strength than that for the case of using BPC and ARFA, which was considered to be synergic efficiency in increasing compressive strength. Increased compressive strength as above mentioned is considered to be caused by mutually increased affinity between cement and fly ash induced during mechanochemical Processing(MP).

Fabrication of high strength structural concrete was investigated by using a mechanochemically Surface Treated Fly Ash(MSTFA) induced by mechanochemical processing through ball-milling of (90 wt% As Recevied Fly Ash(ARFA) + 10wt% cement) mixture, which was compared to the specimen fabricated by using As Received Fly Ash(ARFA) in terms with compressive strength and microstructures. The compressive strength of concrete specimen fabricated by using MSTFA represented 10-20% and 2-7% higher value than that for the case of using ARFA and BPFA in each cases. Increased compressive strength as above mentioned is considered to be caused by mutually increased affinity generated between cement and fly ash during mechanochemical processing.

To increase the recycling rate of anthracite fly ash, the properties of anthracite fly ash were compared to that of bituminous fly ash. Especially, the high temperature properties of the fly ash are investigated by using thermal analysis, high temperature microscope and X-ray diffraction analysis for utilizing anthracite fly ash to prepare the calcinated bricks. The average ratio of $A1_2$$O_3$/$SiO_2$ for anthracite is 0.62 and the ratio for bituminous is 0.34. The content of $SiO_2$ in anthracite fly ash was higher than that of bituminous fly ash. The $A1_2$$O_3$ of anthracite fly ash reacted with the $A1_2$$O_3$ in the fly ash and formed new mullite crystal at over $1000^{\circ}C$, so anthracite fly ash showed high fire resistance. And, the fly ash mixtures having kaolin were prepared, and then extruded in vacuum to evaluate the extruding property of anthracite fly ash mixture. The extruding velocity was decrease with increasing the addition amount of fly ash in the mixture, and the maximum addition amount of fly ash that could be extruded was 60 wt%.

This paper discussed pozzolanic reaction properties of classified fly ashes by using of electrostatic precipitator. Blaine values of fly ashes at hoppers are respectively about 3000(ordinary), 5000(fine) and 8000cm2/g(super-fine). The pozzolanic reactivity of fly ash at early stage and at later stage are respectively related to the related to the fineness and the glass content of fly ash. But the early hydration of cement was retarded by addition of super fine fly ashes. the adiabatic temperature rise of mortar containing fly ash is increased with the fineness of fly ashes.
