Development of Flotation Device for Removing Unburnt Carbon in Fly Ash for Use in Hardened Cementitious Materials

The unburned carbon in fly ash inhibits the performance of concrete. A device using the flotation method to remove unburned carbon in fly ash was developed, and the operating condition of the device was experimentally examined. According to the results, the device was able to remove unburnt carbon f...
