RESEARCH OF THE POSSIBILITY OF USING CHP ASH IN THE PRODUCTION OF FIRED ASH GRAVEL

The article presents a comparative analysis of the characteristics of the dump ash of the Kyzylorda CHP hydraulic removal. A huge amount of ash, slag waste is collected in the dumps of the CHP, their accumulation in the dumps leads to a violation of the ecology of the environment. The issue of ash, slag waste disposal is an urgent problem. The use of ash and slag not only solves the issue of availability of raw materials, but also allows to improve the quality of products while reducing their cost. One of the valuable components of ash and slag waste is hydraulic removal ash. Hydraulic removal ash as a raw material can be used for the manufacture of artificial concrete aggregates (ash, agglomerate gravel, etc.). Studies were conducted to study the physico-chemical composition, determine the specific effective activity of natural radionuclides, loss during calcination of two types of hydraulic removal ash samples from Kyzylorda CHP (black and gray), which differ in sampling sites from ash dump. When studying the properties of the ash, X-Ray phase analysis was carried out, with the help of which the phase composition of the ash was determined. Work was carried out on the X-Ray phase analysis of ash, determination of the specific effective activity of natural radionuclides, calcination losses, which showed the possibility of using ash for the production of building materials. The conducted studies have confirmed the expediency of using the ash of the Kyzylorda thermal power plant in the production of fired ash gravel.
