ADDITIONS OF CLAY AND SLAG MATERIALS TO COAL COMBUSTION BOILERS
A method of combusting coal in the presence of a clay additive and a slag additive is disclosed. The combustion may occur in a coal combustion burner of a coal-fired electrical power generation plant. Co-injections of clay and slag improve operational efficiency of coal fired boilers by improving combustion, thermal heat transfer, steam output and/or electrical power output. The co-injections of clay and slag may also reduce unwanted emissions. The combustion product may be used as a pozzolanic addition to cement.
Coal is combusted in the presence of a clay additive and a slag additive to produce a combustion product that is useful as a pozzolanic additive for cement. The combustion process may be performed in a coal-fired boiler of an electrical power generation plant, resulting in improved operational efficiency and controlled emissions.

PRODUCTION OF COAL COMBUSTION PRODUCTS FOR USE IN CEMENTITIOUS MATERIALS
A method and system (10) for producing modified coal combustion products are disclosed. The additives reduce the particle sizes of the coal combustion product and may also reduce the un-burned carbon content of the coal combustion product, making the modified product useful as an addition to cementitious materials.

The present invention provides combustion products of hydrocarbon fuels and controlled amounts of metal oxide strength enhancing materials. The combustion products are useful as additives to cementitious materials. A hydrocarbon fuel such as coal is introduced into a combustion chamber (12) and selected amounts of materials comprising CaO, SiO2 and Al2O3 are also introduced into and/or downstream from the chamber (12). The hydrocarbon fuel undergoes combustion while the metal oxide strength enhancing materials react with each other and/or the ash or other reaction products of the hydrocarbon fuel. The combustion products have been found to significantly increase compressive strengths of cements such as Portland cement. A reduction in SO2 emission levels also results from the introduction of the metal oxide strength enhancing materials into the combustion process.
