The purpose of this study is to present the recycling method of reject-ash. The reject-ash, a significant portion of the pulverized fuel ash produced by coal-fired power plants and rejected from the ash classifying process, has remained unused due to its high carbon content and large particle size. This study compared reject-ash with fly-ash by physical properties, the properties of fresh & harden concrete with cement replacement ratio of reject-ash and fly-ash, 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25(wt. %). The loss of ignition of the reject-ash is similar to fly-ash and is suited to the KS L 5405. When the replacement ratio of reject-ash is increasing the air content of reject-ash concrete is lowly decreased. The results of the compressive strength measurement of reject-ash tends to decrease by increasing the replacement ratio.

The aim of this research is the feasibility analysis of the reject ash premixed cement mortar with combined aggregate. Namely, for the combined aggregate with two different qualities of aggregates, a fundamental properties of cement mortar was evaluated depending on various replacing ratios of reject ash(Ri). According to the experimental results, the combined aggregate consisted with low-quality aggregate and sea sand did not change the flow value depending on the reject ash while the combined aggregates consisted with low quality aggregate and sea sand; and consisted exploded debris sand and sea sand the increasing reject ash increased the air content with increased replacing ratio of reject ash. In the case of compressive strength, as the replacing ratio of reject ash was increased, the compressive strength was increased. It is considered that when 5% of reject ash replacing ratio made similar quality of cement mortar with favorable quality aggregate, hence, it can be suggested that 5% replacement of reject ash for desirable fluidity and compressive strength of concrete.

This study considerated reject ash, wastes of coal-fired power plants, to use mineral admixtures for cement. The pozzolan activity selected the fineness of the efficient reject ash through comparison and it compared to the fly ash that are widely used for concrete mixed material. Cement composites was prepared replacing of slag cement by fineness reject ash and fly ash, and properties of cement composites was tested by paste(setting time, fluidity, instrumental analysis) and mortar(compressive strength). Instrumental analysis results showed hydration reaction of fineness reject ash was not different from fly ash, but had more dense micro structures. Results of physical properties showed fineness reject ash shorten setting time, increased compressive strength compared by fly ash. Therefore using fineness reject ash with $6,000cm^2$/g to concrete mineral admixtures or cement composites was might be possible and could contribute to improve properties of concrete.

This study has investigated application of the industrial by-product of reject ash and recycled fine aggregate to consider the economical issue to high flowing CLSM(controled low-strength material). But this high flowing CLSM is required more binder, so it has been estimated the influence of reject ash content, use of recycled fine aggregate and crushed sand, and air content about properties of CLSM.

This paper is to provide a method to prevent air loss of the concrete using reject ash based ternary blended aggregate due to absorption of AE agents by reject ash by adding AE agents into reject ash before mixing concrete. Test results indicate that air loss due to presence of reject ash in ternary blended aggregate can be recovered by over use of AE agents into aggregate directly before mixing.

Energetically-modified material using reject fly ash was manufactured to investigate the effect of the material on strength characteristic of cement mortar. In order to modify reject fly ash, a vibration mill was used. after grinding process, the defects in the alignment of atom was checked using transmission electron microscope. It was found that the compressive strength values of 28 days-cured specimens using energetically-modified reject fly ash (ERFA) were higher than that of mortar with non-ground reject fly ash.

The aim of the research is to provide rheological properties of cement paste with various qualities of coal ash including fly ash, raw ash, and reject ash. Generally, fly ash is the well known supplementrary cementitious materials for concrete and is used to improve various properties. Although fly ash is obtained as a byproduct of fire powder plant, still reject ash is wasted from raw ash. In this research, thus, to provide a fundamental information on using not only fly ash but also raw ash or reject ash for cementitious materials, a rheological properties of cement paste was studied with three different coal ash. This research was conducted from particle conditions of three different coal ashes to rheological properties in cement paste phase. According to the expeirment, reject ash was consisted with large and coagulated particles although fly ash was consisted with a small and spherical shaped particles. based on the particle conditions of various coal ashes, rheological behaviors were tested, and it was shown as the coal ashes improved the fluidity of cement paste. Specifically, depending on the particle distributions of cement paste, it is considered that the viscosity of paste can be controlled.

The coal bottom ash and reject ash discharged from a coal-fired power plant are difficult to recycle so most of them are mainly landfill-disposed. In this study, the artificial aggregate were produced using reject ash, bottom ash and dredged soil emitted from the coal-fired power plant in Korea and the effect of experimental factors on the bloating behavior and the properties of the aggregates were analyzed. In particular, a lot of unburned carbon in the reject ash was removed by calcination and the activated carbon was added to batch powders then the dependence of those process upon bloating properties of artificial aggregate were investigated. For this purpose, the specific gravity and water absorption values of artificial aggregates were investigated in conjunction with microstructural observations. This study could contribute to increase the recycling rate of the reject ash.

As coal fly ash emissions have increased due to additional constructions of domestic heat power plants, the amount of embedded reject ash (Rj henceforth) is increasing as well. Most Rj is embedded, so if it is used as an alternative admixture instead of cement, embedded quantities will decrease, leading to economic and environmentally positive effects. Therefore this study conducted an experiment to contemplate the usability of Rj ground in the Los Angeles abraser, and what effects ground Rj has on the engineering properties of high compressive strength mortar. The result was that as the number of grinding turns increased, liquidity, air quantity and intensity were improved, proving Rj a possible alternative admixture to cement.

Therefore this study conducted an experiment to contemplate the usability of Rj ground in the Los Angeles abraser, and what effects ground Rj has on the engineering properties of poor-mix mortar. The result was that as the number of grinding turns increased, liquidity, air quantity and intensity were improved, proving Rj a possible alternative admixture to cement.
