Coal ash and fly ash are by-products generated during the combustion of coal in thermal power plants. Their disposal poses several environmental and operational challenges for power generation facilities. Coal ash mainly consists of bottom ash and fly ash, which contain fine particles and trace amounts of heavy metals such as arsenic, mercury, lead, and cadmium. Improper disposal can lead to serious environmental pollution. One major environmental issue is air pollution. Fly ash is very fine and can easily become airborne during handling, transportation, or disposal. Windblown ash can spread over nearby areas, causing respiratory problems for humans
