Leachability of Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) Incorporated with Fly Ash and Bottom Ash by Using Synthetic Precipitation Leaching Procedure (SPLP)

Abstract:

Fly ash (FA) and bottom ash (BA) are some of waste generated by coal-fired power plants, which contains large quantities of toxic and heavy metals. The combustion of coal after been heated at specific temperatures and pressures in power stations produces ash. FA and BA must be properly managed and disposed without causing any harmful environmental effects. In recent years, many researchers have been interested to study on the properties of self-compacting concrete (SCC) incorporated with FA and BA but there was very limited research from the combination of FA and BA towards the environmental needs. Therefore, this study was focused in determining the leachability of heavy metals of SCC incorporated with FA and BA by using Synthetic Precipitation Leaching Procedure (SPLP). The samples were obtained from coal-fired power plant located at Peninsula, Malaysia. As such, the potential heavy metals leached out from SCC that is produced with FA as replacement for Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) and BA as replacement for sand with the ratios from 10% to 30% respectively were designated and casted. There are eight heavy metals of concern such as As, Cr, Pb, Zn, Cu, Ni, Mn and Fe. The results show that all heavy metals were leached below the permissible limits from USEPA and EPAV except for As which is the only heavy metal that leaches in large amount even in the control specimen. This is probably due to the influence from the acidic extraction fluid, causing As to leach out in higher amounts during the extraction process. All in all, the uses FA and BA in SCC up to 20% seem to be an environmental friendly practice as far as leaching of heavy metals in the concrete is comply with the standard.
