KOLAGHAT, 9 AUG: The city may have got their plates full with delicious hilsa this season, but they are missing out on the much sought-after Kolaghat special.

Thermal power plant industries produce million tonne flyash (after burning of coal) each year which consists of fine particles of unburnt raw materials and some trace elements. Generally, most common practice regarding management of this ash is making slurry of it with water and disposing in ash dyke. Although it is a temporary process, due to leaching of metals, surrounding ground water and soil may get contaminated. So, proper maintenance and regular examination of the ground water and soil quality is necessary.

India's coal demand is expected to increase with the setting up of more and more coal based power projects and to meet the demand from metallurgical and other industries. Indian coals being of drift origin contain as high as 40% ash in some cases. The coal is, therefore, required to be washed in coal washing plants so that the ash content is brought to an acceptable level, before being utilised by the industries.

This paper deals with utilization of flyash to vegetation programmed in abandoned open cast mines of Jharia coalfields, Dhanbad, Jharkhand. Its physical properties are beneficial in vegetation purposes in abandoned opencast mines of Jharia coalfields.
