    Enrichment of Trace Element Concentrations in Coal and Its Combustion Residues and Their Potential Environmental and Human Health Impact: Can Coal Basin, Nw Turkey as a Case Study
    (Inderscience Enterprises, 2016) Baba, Alper; Gürdal, Gülbin; Şanlıyüksel Yücel, Deniz
    In this study, the variation of trace element concentrations ( total of 48 trace elements including rare earth elements) in coal, coal ash and fly ash were examined and compared with coal Clarke values. Results showed that the average concentrations of trace elements including As, B, Cu, Ce, Co, Cs, Gd, Hf, La, Lu, Mo, Nd, Nb, Pr, Pb, Sc, Sm, Ta, Tb, Th, U, V, W, Y, Yb, Zn and Zr in the Can Basin coals are higher than their respective Clarke values for world low-rank coals. The elements As, Cu, Co, Cs, Mo, Nb, Sc, Pb, Pr, Th, U, V, Zn and Zr are enriched in coal ashes, whereas As, Co, Nb, Sc, U and V are enriched in fly ashes. Among the elements, maximum enrichment in coal was observed for As, with the average concentration of 253.5 ppm As in the Can Basin coals, while the coal Clarke value is 14 ppm and world average value is 8.3 ppm. From the ecotoxicological point of view, combustion residues formed by indoor combustion of coal and/or in thermal power plants may be a hazard to the environment and to aquatic and terrestrial life including human beings, particularly As, trace elements and released radioactive elements.

    Experimental and Modeling Study of Strength of High Strength Concrete Containing Binary and Ternary Binders
    (Foundation Cement, Lime, Concrete, 2011) Erdem, Tahir Kemal; Tayfur, Gökmen; Kırca, Önder
    Silica fume (SF), fl y ash (FA) and ground granulated blastfurnace slag (S) are among the most widely utilized mineral additions for normal strength concrete (NSC) and high strength concrete (HSC). High Reactivity Metakaolin (HRMK) is a relatively new mineral addition, produced by calcination of highly pure kaolin. The replacement of cement with HRMK increases the strength, especially at early ages, and improves durability of concrete. (1-3). Pumice (P) is a porous volcanic glass containing 60-75 SiO2% and 13-17% Al2O3. When fi nely ground, it shows pozzolanic characteristics but it is generally used as a lightweight aggregate in the concrete industry (4, 5). HRMK and P have white color and, therefore, are useful for production of white concrete when applied with white Portland cement (WPC)
