Figure 4. (a) Particle size distribution of Jarosite wastes; (b) Particle size distribution of
ash pond CCRs.
The physical properties of CCRs, jarosite waste and clay are shown in
Table 4. Specific gravity is 38.6% higher as compared to CCRs. As compared
to CCRs, the jarosite waste has higher porosity and water holding capacity due
to fine textured materials resulting high surface area. The specific gravity of
