Beneficial Use of Coal Ash

Beneficial use of coal ash involves repurposing the byproduct of coal combustion, such as fly ash and bottom ash, in various applications instead of disposing of it as waste. This process helps conserve natural resources and reduces environmental impact. Common uses include incorporating ash into concrete, cement, and building materials, which can improve durability and strength. It also can be used in earth and soil stabilization projects. This approach is environmentally responsible because it maximizes the value of coal ash, minimizes landfill use, and supports sustainable construction practices.
