Good science guess, yet the core ingredient of cement / concrete / many bricks is coal ash. Coal ash is collected for resale in many products. Coal Ash when mixed with water and specific gravel high grade concrete is formed - this also permanently captures the CO2 of the coal ash in the cement.

All particulate minerals / matter have long been trapped or eliminated in the coal power plant processes.

This is just and educated guess, but I'm thinking in theory that the coal will float to the top of your cement, as coal is lighter than water, especially if you mix some magnatite in there hehe.

Why do coal mines explode?

Coal dust in the air is an explosive mixture, because the mixture of coal and air can burn much more rapidly than solid pieces of coal can (flour in the air is also explosive, or sawdust - any flammable substance in the form of dust becomes explosive if it is mixed into the air).
