Why Are Steel Silos the Best Way to Store Fly Ash

Image
  Fly ash, a byproduct of coal combustion in thermal power plants, has the physical characteristics of fine particles and high specific surface area. Although this characteristic gives it certain industrial utilization value, it also brings many challenges during storage and transportation. Traditional fly ash storage methods, such as open-air stacking or simple warehouses, are prone to dust, pollution and waste of resources, and may also affect the quality of subsequent use. Steel silos have become the preferred modern solution for fly ash storage due to their excellent sealing and efficient storage capacity. Challenges of fly ash storage Fly ash is a fine solid particle with certain fluidity and hygroscopicity. Due to its special physical and chemical properties, the following issues need to be addressed during storage: Prevent moisture and agglomeration:  Fly ash easily absorbs moisture and agglomerates in a humid environment, which not only affects its quality, but may als...
