New Use for Coal Ash
Special | 5m 18sVideo has Closed Captions
NC A&T researchers find a new use for coal ash as a building material.
Coal ash is a byproduct of burning coal to generate electricity and is often stored in ponds near power plants. But when coal ash spilled out of a Duke Energy storage pond into the Dan River, it focused attention on the problem of storing coal ash. While some is currently used in concrete, NC A&T Researchers are finding a new use for coal ash as a super strong building material.
