Abstract Scope |
The coal is the most widely used material in the power plants so that the electricity can be generated. Fly ash, generated during the combustion of coal for energy production, is an industrial by-product which is recognized as a major environmental pollutant.The coal fly ash gives the material called cenosphere and it is considered to be the good utilization in many sectors all across the globe. The properties of the cenosphere make it a good material with properties like good strength, good workability and less denser and thermal resistivity. In this paper, the utilization of fly ash in construction, as a low-cost adsorbent for the removal of organic compounds, flue gas and metals, light weight aggregate, mine back fill, road sub-base, and zeolite synthesis is discussed. Converting fly ash into zeolites not only alleviates the disposal problem but also converts a waste material into a marketable commodity. |
