Cementitious Spray Dryer Ash-Tire Fiber Material for Maximizing Waste Diversion by Charles E. Riley, Rebecca A. Atadero, John W. van de Lindt, Paul R. Heyliger

“…Spray dryer absorber (SDA) material, also known as spray dryer ash, is a byproduct of coal combustion and flue gas scrubbing processes that has self-cementing properties similar to those of class C fly ash. SDA material does not usually meet the existing standards for use as a pozzolan in Portland cement concrete due to its characteristically high sulfur content, and thus unlike fly ash, it is rarely put to beneficial use. …”
