Description
Summary:Iron Mössbauer spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction methods were applied to the study of a selection of ashes produced in a Lurgi gasification plant and fly ash from a pulverized coal combustion. The ashes contained hematite, magnetite, and goethite. Sixty percent or more of the iron in these ashes was in the oxide form, with the remainder present in mullite and other silicate phases. Iron was divalent in the latter, and present as both Fe +2 and Fe +3 in mullite. Ratios of Fe +2 and Fe +3 varied from 0.3 to 0.7. By comparison, a water-quenched molten bottom ash was free of iron oxides and contained only amorphous silicate phases with virtually all iron in the divalent state.
