Environmental Strategies in Areas Affected by Ash from Large Combustion Plants

Article Preview

Abstract:

The great extent of industrialization in the world can have serious repercussions on the environment. Damage to agricultural ecosystems is produced not only by the industrial centers or mining, but also by the ash resulting from burning coal in combustion plants. Restoration in the agricultural exploitation of lands degraded by industry and the areas under deposits of polluting fly ash is a key objective that lies in the attention of scientists for better use of the entire land fund. The experimental results obtained in this sense are particularly promising. Most of the research went on using the ash dumps by biological fixation with vegetation and by binding and using a specific agricultural technique. Therefore, recultivation and fixation of fly ash dumps targets to protect the environment and reduce air pollution with dust from the ashes, i.e. to harness economic areas occupied by dumps.
