About Flyash:
Fly ash is a byproduct of coal combustion in power plants. It consists of mostly spherical particles, including some hollow cenospheres, with sizes ranging from 325 mesh to 10 mesh, and an average size less than 325 mesh. The bulk density of fly ash can vary from 33.7 to 53.7 pounds per cubic foot in its loose state, and from 70 to 93.7 pounds per cubic foot when packed closely. The material is generally characterized by low moisture content and low abrasiveness, making it relatively easy to handle and process. It flows well, has a low tendency to corrode equipment, and does not typically accumulate static charge.
Chemically, fly ash is primarily composed of alumino-silicate glass, which includes silica (SiO₂), alumina (Al₂O₃), iron oxides (Fe₂O₃), and calcium oxide (CaO). The presence of these compounds varies depending on the type of coal burned. There are two main types of fly ash: Class F, which is produced from burning anthracite or bituminous coal and contains less than 10% CaO, and Class C, which is produced from burning lignite or sub-bituminous coal and contains more than 10% CaO. Class C fly ash has both pozzolanic and cementitious properties, while Class F is primarily pozzolanic.
Fly ash is widely used in construction, especially in the production of Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC), which enhances the durability and strength of concrete. It is also used in the manufacturing of fly ash bricks, asphalt concrete, and for soil stabilization. The environmental benefits of using fly ash are significant as it reduces the need for landfill space and lowers the cost of construction materials. However, fly ash contains trace amounts of heavy metals such as arsenic, barium, and lead, which require careful management to prevent environmental contamination.
In addition to its practical applications, fly ash improves the performance of concrete by reducing bleeding, segregation, and shrinkage. Despite its benefits, fly ash typically gains strength at a slower rate compared to traditional materials. Overall, fly ash is a versatile and environmentally friendly material with numerous applications, but it requires careful handling to mitigate potential environmental risks.
