Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis of zeolites from coal fly ash: an overview
Xavier Querol,Natalia Moreno,J.C Umaña,Andrés Alastuey,E. Hernández,Angel Lopez-Soler,F. Plana +6 more
TL;DR: An overview on the methodologies for zeolite synthesis from CFA, and a detailed description of conventional alkaline conversion processes, with special emphasis on the experimental conditions to obtain high cation exchange capacity (CEC) zeolites is given in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental, physical and structural characterisation of geopolymer matrixes synthesised from coal (co-)combustion fly ashes
E. Álvarez-Ayuso,Xavier Querol,F. Plana,Andrés Alastuey,Natalia Moreno,Maria Izquierdo,Oriol Font,Teresa Moreno,Sergi Díez,Enric Vázquez,Marilda Barra +10 more
TL;DR: It was found that synthesised geopolymer matrixes were only effective in the chemical immobilisation of a number of elements of environmental concern contained in fly ashes, reducing (especially for Ba), or maintaining their leachable contents after the geopolymisation process, but not for those elements present as oxyanions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physico-chemical characteristics of European pulverized coal combustion fly ashes
Natalia Moreno,Xavier Querol,J.M. Andrés,Kenneth T. Stanton,Mark R. Towler,Henk Nugteren,Maria Janssen-Jurkovicová,Rod Jones +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, fly ashes sourced from European pulverised coal burning power plants (from Spain, The Netherlands, Italy and Greece) were characterised in terms of their chemical composition, mineralogy and physical properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immobilization of heavy metals in polluted soils by the addition of zeolitic material synthesized from coal fly ash.
Xavier Querol,Andrés Alastuey,Natalia Moreno,E. Álvarez-Ayuso,Antonio García-Sánchez,Jordi Cama,Carles Ayora,Mariano Simón +7 more
TL;DR: The results show that the zeolitic material considerably decreases the leaching of Cd, Co, Cu, Ni, and Zn, and the sorption of metals in soil clay minerals (illite) proved to be the main cause contributing to the immobilization of these pollutants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Utilization of zeolites synthesized from coal fly ash for the purification of acid mine waters.
Natalia Moreno,Xavier Querol,Carles Ayora,Constantino Fernández Pereira,Maria Janssen-Jurkovicová +4 more
TL;DR: Decontamination tests of three acid mine waters from southwestern Spain were carried out using the zeolites derived from fly ash and commercial synthetic zeolite, demonstrating that the zeolitic material could be employed for heavy metal uptake in the water purification process.
