Laboratory of Solid-fuel Power Waste Recycling

Developing the scientific and technological fundamentals of the recycling of large-tonnage waste coming from solid-fuel power generation, including waste generated by the extraction, beneficiation and combustion of solid fuels, as well as for the production of carbon-neutral functional geopolymer materials for «green» and energy-efficient construction based on them.

Project objective: 

1. Researching the chemical, mineralogical, phase composition composition, the structure and the radiological properties of waste generated by the extraction, beneficiation and combustion of solid coal fuels.
2. Developing compositions and technological parameters of the carbon-neutral synthesis of   functional geopolymer materials based on waste generated by the extraction, beneficiation and combustion of solid coal fuels.
3. Researching the chemical and phase composition, the physico-chemical and technological properties, the macro- and microstructure of the synthesized geopolymer materials.
4. Researching the dynamics of mass transfer, diffusion and immobilization of admixture elements in solidified geopolymer materials for the identification, assessment and minimization of environmental risks.
5. Developing a software package for the quantitative analysis of the parameters of the porous structure of foamed geopolymers.
6. Preparing for the testing of the developed technology and the development of recommendations for its application by real economy enterprises.
