"Priority 2030. Far East." Trans-Baikal State University students learned how to extract fuel for power plants from coal ash

At the Trans-Baikal State University (ZSU, Chita), the team from the Student Design Bureau "KB" completed the first stage of work on the project "Coal Ash Enrichment by Electrical Separation Using the Triboelectric Effect."

The project is being implemented as part of the "Priority 2030. Far East" university development program and aims to develop a compact unit for extracting unburned coal from coal-fired boiler ash waste. In the Far Eastern Federal District, the implementation of the Far Eastern track of the "Priority 2030" program is being overseen by the Ministry for the Development of the Russian Far East and the Far East and Arctic Development Corporation (FEDC).

The project's goal is to develop a product with potential application in the energy sector of the Zabaikalsky Region by the first half of 2026. The technology is aimed at increasing the resource efficiency of thermal generation and recycling waste.

The fundamental advantage of this technology is its environmental friendliness and cost-effectiveness. Eliminating the use of water and chemical methods reduces operating costs, minimizes environmental impact, and creates conditions for the further use of ash as a secondary raw material, including in the energy and construction industries.
