Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the incorporation of fluid bed combustion fly ash, and especially circulating fluid bed combustion fly ash into a granular ceramic mixture.
  • fly ash waste material Much fly ash is currently used in concrete as a pozzolan or cementitious material. Other uses include brick making and as a soil stabilisation material. However, much fly ash continues to go to landfill. This has obvious environmental, as well as economic, costs. There is therefore ongoing value and interest in developing products and processes that can use fly ash as a raw material. This minimises the amount of fly ash going to landfill and reduces the amounts of other virgin raw materials used.
  • Fluidised bed combustion (FBC) plant designs are quite different to the pulverised coal combustion (PCC) plant designs that have been standard for power plants for many decades.
  • the fly ash produced by FBC plants is different to PCC fly ash, and FBC fly ash is much harder than PCC fly ash to re-use in other applications such as ceramic production.
  • Fluidised bed combustors burn the coal in a heated fluidised bed of ash and/or sand at lower temperatures than PCC designs.
  • Fluidised bed combustion (FBC) designs include “bubbling” fluidised beds as well as “circulating” fluidised bed designs.
  • a bubbling fluid bed is also referred to as a “boiling fluid bed”.
  • Circulating fluidised beds known as CFBs, are most common.
  • the various FBC designs can be further divided based on the pressures at which they run, either atmospheric or pressurised.
  • a circulating fluid bed (CFB) furnace operates by continuously recycling most of the hot ash (including any fine unburnt fuel) from the exhaust stream coming from the combustion zone back into the base of the fluidised bed combustion zone.
  • a proportion of the finest fly ash is continuously removed from the exhaust and fresh fuel and additives are continuously added to the combustion zone.
  • This system has many advantages including very high levels of carbon bum (due to the repeated passes of burning particles through the combustion zone) plus the fuel does not have to be pulverised before addition to the combustion zone.
  • the extended time at elevated temperatures and the high levels of particle:particle interactions that ash particles experience in a CFB design gives opportunity for mineral phases that are not normally seen in PCC ashes to form.
  • Fluidised bed combustion (FBC) technology is becoming increasingly popular since plants using such technologies are less polluting.
  • FBC plants emit much lower levels of nitrous oxides than conventional PCC plants, the removal of sulfur oxides is easier, and FBC plants can burn a wider range of fuels such as low-grade coal, and even fuels such as tyres and oil. Often these lower-grade fuels have a high sulfur content.
  • FBC plants can produce power efficiently at much lower temperatures: typically, between 800 - 900 °C, compared to 1400 - 1700 °C in a PCC plant. Being able to operate efficiently at lower combustion temperatures has large advantages. In particular, the formation of nitrous oxides is lower in FBC plants, and NO x pollution is therefore reduced.
  • FBC plants burn higher quality, lower sulfate coals such as anthracite.
  • PCC plants have wet scrubbers which treat the exhaust gases to chemically remove the sulfur oxides via a process called flue gas desulfurisation (FGD). This is a costly and intensive process.
  • FBC plants typically reduce their sulfur oxide emissions by burning a mixture of fuel and limestone/chalk/dolomite.
  • the limestone material (calcium carbonate) forms calcium oxide within the fluidised bed. This reacts with sulfur oxides from the combustion of sulfur compounds in the fuel to form calcium sulfate in-situ. This is possible as the temperatures are low enough in the fluidised bed for calcium sulfate minerals such as anhydrite to be stable and readily formed.
  • the addition of significant amounts of limestone material to the boiler in a fluid bed combustion (FBC) plant means that the fluid bed combustion (FBC) fly ash typically comprises high levels of calcium species and sulfur species.
  • the levels of calcium species in FBC fly ash are often higher than even high calcium oxide (Type C) fly ashes from PCC plants.
  • the levels of sulfur species in FBC fly ash are higher than the sulfur oxide level of PCC fly ash.
  • the ASTM-C618 standard is commonly used to define suitable fly ash quality for use as a pozzolan or cementitious product.
  • the upper SO 3 limit for materials to meet ASTM-C618 is 5wt%.
  • FBC fly ash typically comprises a much higher level of oxide of sulfur.
  • fly ash from FBC designs is quite different to conventional PCC fly ash.
  • the FBC fly ash has not been subjected to the very high temperatures encountered in the exhaust systems of conventional PCC plants.
  • the fly ash produced in PCC plants has been suspended in the very hot effluent combustion gases. The temperatures experienced are high enough to melt particles. This means that the large majority of PCC fly ash particles are spherical and formed of glassy amorphous phases.
  • fly ash from FBC plants, and especially CFB combustion plants will not have been melted due to the lower temperatures of the FBC.
  • the FBC fly ash particles have an irregular shape and do not contain glassy phases.
  • Another difference is that the time for which the fly ash has been subjected to high temperatures is typically much longer in FBC plants, especially those plants where high levels of fly ash are recirculated, such as in a CFB combustion plant.
  • PCC and FBC fly ash are different chemically (e.g. typically having different levels of calcium species and sulfate species), different physically (e.g. typically having different morphologies, e.g. regular/glassy (PCC) compared to irregular/non-glassy (FBC)), and different mineralogically.
  • FBC fly ash also has a smaller diameter than PCC fly ash (due to a self-grinding action) and has a lower residual carbon level compared to PCC fly ash.
  • FBC fly ash Most of the FBC fly ash is currently sent to landfill or used as a very low value soil stabilisation agent. It is less effective than PCC fly ash as a pozzolan. In addition, the high sulfate levels can cause problems. There is a growing need to find alternative uses for FBC fly ash. A potential high-value use is in ceramic articles such as ceramic floor tiles and porcelain floor tiles.
  • Fly ash can be used as a partial replacement for clays in ceramic articles. Fly ash can be combined with clay and other materials such as feldspar to form granular ceramic mixtures. The granular ceramic mixtures can then be formed into ceramic articles, such as ceramic tiles and especially porcelain tiles. Such ceramic articles can be made with significant levels of fly ash and this is known in the art. The replacement of clay by fly ash is beneficial as supplies of suitable clay are becoming limited. Maximising the practical level of clay that can be replaced by fly ash is beneficial.
  • fly ashes used in the art are mostly PCC fly ash.
  • FBC, and particularly CFB combustion, technology is a relatively recent development, and was not in use when earlier ceramic art was developed.
  • issues relating specifically to the use of FBC fly ash in ceramics applications were not recognised, or even relevant, to most of this body of fly ash work.
  • fly ash as consisting of spheres of amorphous, glassy phases, which is a description of PCC fly ash and not FBC fly ash. It is clear that the art is referring to PCC fly ash.
  • the inventors have discovered that simply replacing PCC fly ash with FBC fly ash, and especially CFB combustion fly ash in ceramic compositions that also contain clays, feldspars and optionally other ingredients, can cause defects. Ceramic articles made using FBC fly ash have been observed to crack during the firing cycle. This is particularly problematic when making high quality, large ceramic items such as ceramic floor tiles, and especially porcelain floor tiles, where such defects are particularly unacceptable. The incorporation of fly ash into porcelain floor tiles, which need to have low water absorption and high flexural strength, is particularly challenging.
  • the inventors have also seen that this problem is exacerbated when the FBC fly ash is used at higher levels in ceramics applications.
  • the inventors have discovered that the problems associated with the incorporation of FBC fly ash, and especially CFB combustion fly ash, into granular ceramic mixtures can be overcome if a calcium source is incorporated into the granular ceramic mixture. This allows FBC fly ash, and especially CFB combustion fly ash, to be incorporated into granular ceramic mixtures, that can then be formed into ceramic articles, such as ceramic floor tiles and porcelain tiles, without the problem of cracking.

  • a calcium source selected from calcium carbonate, calcium chloride, calcium hydroxide, calcium oxide, calcium sulfate, and any combination thereof;

  • the fluid bed combustion fly ash is derived from coal, typically fluid bed combustion coal fly ash.
  • XRF X-ray fluorescence
  • SO3 is often referred to as “sulfate” in the ceramic literature even though the term “sulfate” technically refers to the SO4 2 ion.
  • sulfur is reported as elemental sulfur but how the sulfur is reported makes no difference to the actual levels present.
