| The possibility of using fly ash as a domestic fuel was investigated, mainly in terms of gross calorific value and composition of gas emissions during combustion. Fly ash blended with bagasse and fly ash blended with wood charcoal in the form of small briquettes were produced and tested. Briquettes containing 60 per cent fly ash and 40 per cent charcoal gave more encouraging results. They had a GCV of 19.62 MJ/kg compared to 17.3 MJ/kg for bone dry bagasse and 27.5 MJ/kg for charcoal; they burnt at a temperature of 345 °C during 2.25 hrs (withoug draught) and yielded 25 per cent ash on complete combustion. The CO level in the gas emissions was very high (3416 ppm) and methods for reducing this level still have to be identified and tested. | |
