Abstract. The present paper presents the information about the chemical and mineralogical composition of the ash and slag and their amounts at the dumps of the thermoelectric plants located in the city of Kemerovo. It is known that about 85% of ash and slag from the thermoelectric plants in Russia are removed by means of the hydraulic sluicing systems and only about 15% -by the systems of pneumatic ash handling. Currently, however, the transition from the "wet" ash removal systems to the "dry" ones is outlined. This process is quite logical since the fly ash has the higher reactivity compared with the hydraulic sluicing ash and therefore it is of the great interest for recycling and use. On the other hand, the recent trend is the increased use of fly ash in the production of geo-polymers due to their availability, workability and the increased life of the final product. The analysis is carried out to check the possibility of using the fly ash from various Kemerovo thermoelectric plants as a raw material for the production of the alkali-activated binder.

The article analyzes the properties changes of non-autoclave foam on a protein foaming agent with the introduction of dispersed wollastonite and diopside. A decrease in the density of foam concrete (to the grade D300, D400), frost resistance of the material, as well as shrinkage deformations was noted. The optimal technological parameters have been determined, allowing to obtain more stable properties and structure of heat-insulating cement-ash non-autoclave foam concrete. The flow chart of the production of foam concrete of natural hardening in the separate preparation of foam and mortar is presented. The studies were performed at NSTU and NGASU (Novosibirsk) and the NII (Norilsk).

Abstract. In recent years, the interest of researchrs in using fly-ash as a raw material for the geo-polymer synthesis is increasing. Kuzbass region (in Russia) has a large amount of ash wastes generated, which defined the relevace of the study performed in this paper. Results of investigating load-bearing capacity of structural insulating material produced by geo-polymerization of fly-ash of Kemerovo hydro-electric power plant with the addition of complex activator are described in the paper. Hydrogen peroxide solution was used as the foaming agent. The activation time, the temperature of isothermal holding and hardening in normal conditions for all samples were constant. The compressive strength and the mean density of geo-polymer foamed concrete were determined. The influence of the material composition on its properties was revealed. It is found that of the geo-polymer foamed concrete with the optimum composition has hardness of 1,1-3,5 MPa at the density of 400 to 900 kg/m 3 . Thus, the production of the fly-ash geo-polymer concretes and mortars is feasible, justified and promising.

Recently, there has been an increasing interest to the production of the non-autoclaved aerated concrete. It has a number of advantages in comparison with other materials: low power consumption of manufacturing, high fire resistance, environmental safety, bio persistence, as well as excellent insulation properties. However, its production involves a number of problems: insufficient ultimate strength, high shrinkage, high susceptibility to the parameters of technology, and the quality of raw materials. It is a well known fact that the formation of the foam concrete structure and its main running abilities are affected not only by the mortar part, but also by the chemical nature of the foaming additive, its basic physical and chemical characteristics, as well as by the parameters of foam, produced on its basis.The paper contains an assessment of availability of the technical foam production for manufacturing of the heat-insulated constructional foam at a high-speed cavitation plant involving use of fly ash from the Central heating and power plant. We used the protein and synthetic foaming agents for the work. The authors investigated the influence of process-dependent parameters of a laboratory plant on the technical foam density and foam stability coefficient in the cement paste. The physical and mechanical properties of the non-autoclaved aerated concrete produced with investigated foams are defined. The non-autoclaved aerated concrete samples with physical and mechanical properties allowing its use in production are produced.
