Objective of the project is to develop a Dusty Plasma Separator (DPS) technology which enables to separate fly ash obtained in coal power plants into different particle size fractions. Ultrafine fraction < 2,5 ?m may replace silica fume used in high performance concrete. The use of such high-performance concrete enables to extend structure lifetime from 50 to 500 years.
Project funding:
