Cover Story: Complete elimination of coal combustion for electricity generation will plunge some communities into economic disarray. This has resulted in an increase in coal ash generation, primarily clinker ash, representing a substantial environmental threat due to its limited recycling capacity. Moreover, crop production on sandy soil is constrained by low productivity due to poor fertility or complete infertility. We explore the use of clinker ash to enhance the chemical properties of sandy soil and sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) productivity. Through this study, we achieved two goals: the utilisation of problematic solid coal waste and the improvement of sandy soil productivity. The following outstanding results were achieved: clinker ash enhanced the carbon content of sandy soil and its properties, translating into improved sesame productivity. View this paper
