A common requirement with fly ash conveying systems at coal-fired thermal power plants is that the fly ash should be conveyed to an off-site location for onward disposal. It is not unusual for this to be a distance of at least 1 km. The problem with increasing conveying distance is that for a given air supply pressure, the conveying-line pressure gradient …

The main concern during waste coal blending is production costs, so the former steps of waste coal blending would be more effective and it may raise the benefits of coal-based power plants (Perry et al., 1984, Qi and Song, 2016). Consequently, proper utilization of waste coal should be introduced using techniques such as coal blending.

China is the largest coal consumer around the world, and coal accounts for more than 60% of the country's energy mix (Peng et al. 2018; Wang et al. 2019).Coal fly ash (CFA), a solid waste produced by coal-fired thermal power plants during the combustion of pulverized coal, is currently one of the largest solid wastes in China (Yao et al. …
