The material classed as “mineral matter” in coal embraces crystalline mineral materials as
well as a range of inorganic elements that occur in non-crystalline form. This review outlines …

Fly ash or coal fly ash causes major global pollution in the form of solid waste and is
classified as a “hazardous waste”, which is a by-product of thermal power plants produced …

During coal combustion for electric power generation, rare earth elements (REE) are
strongly retained in the ash fraction leading to significant enrichment compared to the REE …

Artifacts are objects> 2 mm, whereas microartifacts are 0.25–2.0 mm, in size that were
produced, modified, or transported from their source, by human activity. Artifacts are typically …

Mineral dust is the largest source of aerosol iron (Fe) to the offshore global ocean, but acidic
processing of coal fly ash (CFA) in the atmosphere could be an important source of soluble …

Atmospheric supply of iron can modulate ocean biogeochemistry, due to its key role in
global nitrogen and carbon cycles. Current estimates predict up to 20% of global ocean net …

Nine magnetospheres samples were recovered by magnetic separation from fly ashes of
typical coal-fired power plants in China and Russia, respectively. The physical–chemical …

Fourteen samples of coal and ferrospheres, which were recovered by dry magnetic
separation from fly ashes, were collected from five power plants in China. The mineralogy …

There is a growing concern regarding the adverse health effects due to indoor air pollution
in developing countries including India. Hence, it becomes important to study the causes …

Coal fly ash (CFA) is a major global problem due to its production in huge volumes. Fly ash
has numerous toxic heavy metals; thus, it is considered a hazardous material. However, it …
