Such a huge quantity does pose challenging problems, in the form ‘of land usage, health hazards, and ‘environmental dangers. Both in disposal, as well as in Uutlization, utmost care has to be taken, to safeguard the interest of human life, wild life, and such other considerations. Normally, fly ash mixed with water is disposed of into a nearby riatural water source without segregating the heavy toxic metals like lead and arsenic. As a result, these harmful metals find. their way into. the sources of groundwater. ©Copyright® & Intellectual Properties of RIGKY NATHANIEL FLY A i PROE Nearly 73% of India’s total stalled power generation capacity is thermal, of which coal-based generation is 90% - the remaining comprising diesel, wind, as, and steam. The 85 utility thermal power stations, besides the several captive power plants, use bituminous and sub-bituminous coal and produce large quantities of fly ash. High ash content (30%-50%) contributes to these large volumes of fly ash. Even In the 21% Century, India's dependence on goal as a source of energy remains unchanged. Thus, itis but natural to feel that fly ash management remains an Important source of national concern. ‘The World Bank has cautioned India that by 2016, disposal of coal ash would require 1000 square kilometers or one square meter of land per person. Since coal currently accounts for 70% of power roduction in the country, the Bank has highlighted fhe need for new and’ Innovative methods for reducing Impacts on the environment.
