Cyril.attwell@eskom.co.za Keywords: Alkali-activation, coal ash, liners, waste management South African legislation, under the National Environmental Management: Waste Act (NEMWA) of classifies coal ash as a Type 3 waste, due to the concentrations of certain chemical constituents. This Type of waste requires a Class C, 3-layer liner, which includes a plastic (HDPE) layer. The other layers are impermeable clay and cushioning sand, which are placed below and above the HDPE respectively. Recent legislative changes have allowed the use of alternative materials for the construction of these layers, providing they offer the same properties, permeability and support for the sand and impermeability for the clay. Activated Ash materials have been developed in South Africa, using commercial user friendly activators, which are proven to offer the required properties, while utilising the local legacy ash. This paper will expand on the work completed to date and highlight the on-going research.
