Methods of recovering coal combustion products (CCPs) from coal combination byproducts are disclosed. The methods include compiling coal combustion byproducts (e.g., lignite coal and/or bituminous coal), grinding the coal combustion byproducts to form ground coal combustion byproducts with a maximum particle size of 40 microns, and separating the ground coal combustion byproducts to yield CCPs using an electrostatic precipitator. The following CCPs can be separated from the coal combination byproducts using the presently disclosed methods: fly ash, bottom ash, scrubber materials, and raw coal.
