Item Sustainable synthesis of BEA zeolite from fly ash-based amorphous silica(University of Western Cape, 2019) Ameh, Emmanuel Alechine; Petrik, Leslie F.; Musyoka, Nicholas M.Power generation in South Africa depends majorly on the combustion of coal and the increasing demand for energy due to industrialisation and population growth signifies the continuous consumption of coal. During this process, a by-product known as coal fly ash (CFA) is generated which poses several environmental issues. The common management of the waste involves the disposal of CFA in landfills or the direct disposal to open uncultured lands, thus contaminating water bodies by the leaching of constituent CFA metals and salts that render arable land uncultivable.
