    Development of value-added products from sugarcane boiler ash : final report 2011/903
    (Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2015) Clarl, M; Lake, N; Yee, L
    Bagasse fly ash from co-generation plants is often recycled into the sugarcane fields. However, bagasse fly ash contains quartz (naturally accumulated by the cane) that may be re-suspended into respirable-sized particulate by wind erosion and cultivation, where it can cause silicosis. Therefore, the transformation of the bagasse fly ash waste stream into value-added products such as zeolites and or concretes has been investigated. Factorial Design Analysis (neural network development) has been utilised to define the optimal conditions for zeolite manufacture and addition rates to concretes.
