The waste accumulation in the environment has raised the public awareness because of the problems caused by the amount of wastes disposed into the environment. However, the huge volumes that are produced globally alongside the diversity that these wastes present makes them ideal candidates to be used for high-value applications .

Although the exact chemical composition depends on the type of coal burned, all coal ash contains concentrated amounts of toxic elements, including arsenic, lead, and mercury. More than 100 million tons of coal ash and other waste products are produced by coal-fired power plants in the United States every year ( see a map here ).

Coal ash includes a number of by-products produced from burning coal, including: Fly Ash, a very fine, powdery material composed mostly of silica made from the burning of finely ground coal in a boiler. Bottom Ash, a coarse, angular ash particle that is too large to be carried up into the smoke stacks so it forms in the bottom of the coal furnace.

Coal is a nonrenewable fossil fuel that is combusted and used to generate electricity. Mining techniques and combustion are both dangerous to miners and hazardous to the environment; however, coal accounts for about half of the electricity generation in the United States.

Very little this waste is recycled, and close to 80 percent of it sits in landfills or in the natural environment, where it harms wildlife, leaches harmful chemicals, and emits greenhouse gases. Nearly a quarter of all plastic waste is polypropylene, used to make things like food containers, bottles, pipes, and clothing.

Coking Coal for steel production and alternatives. Metallurgical coal, also called metcoal or coking coal, is a type of coal that is used in the production of steel. It is of a higher purity than thermal coal which is used in energy generation. To make steel, metcoal is heated at around 1100 degrees C to remove water and other chemicals.

Making Steam-Activated Charcoal. Steam-activation is primarily used for coconut charcoal and coal. In the production of steam-activated charcoal, first the coconut shell or coal is heated to create a char. This char is then "activated" in a furnace at high temperatures of 1,700° to 1,800°F with steam in the absence of oxygen.

"If you break waste apart at a molecular level, you need a lot of energy, so the CO2 savings are quite low," he tells DW. "If the energy needed comes from burning coal, then the whole thing is an environmental disaster." Although it is expensive, he says mechanical recycling still remains the recycling of choice.

Coke is a grey, hard, and porous fuel with a high carbon content and few impurities, made by heating coal or oil in the absence of air—a destructive distillation process. It is an important industrial product, used mainly in iron ore smelting, but also as a fuel in stoves and forges when air pollution is a concern.

Burning coal produces a variety of solid wastes known as coal combustion waste or coal combustion products. These include coal ash (fly ash and bottom ash), boiler slag, and flue-gas desulphurization products. In 2007 over 120 million tons of these wastes were produced in the US, of which approximately 44% was reused in other applications.

The U.K. has experienced a steady decline in coal use since 1970, thanks to modern advancements in technology and renewables. In 2018, it consumed 12.9 million metric tonnes, down from 157 million in 1970. This is a major step forward toward reducing waste, but coal is still in use today. For every tonne burned, 4,172 pounds of C02 is released
