Usage

Description

Fly ash, also known as pulverized fuel ash, is a very fine ash produced by the combustion of powdered coal with a forced draft, often carried off with the flue gases. It is a mixture of alumina, silica, and other compounds, and requires special equipment, such as electrostatic precipitators, for effective recovery.

Uses

Used in Construction Industry:
Fly ash is used as a cement additive for oil-well casings, enhancing the structural integrity and durability of the casings.
Used in Environmental Applications:
Fly ash is used as an absorbent for oil spills, particularly when coated with silicone, providing an effective means of containing and cleaning up oil spills.
Used in Air Pollution Control:
Fly ash is utilized to replace lime in the process of scrubbing sulfur dioxide from flue gas, contributing to the reduction of air pollution.
Used in Plastics Industry:
Fly ash is employed as a filler in the plastics industry, improving the material properties and reducing production costs.
Used in Mining and Metallurgy (England):
Fly ash serves as a source of germanium, a valuable element used in various high-tech applications.
Used in Energy Industry:
Fly ash has been proposed as a catalyst for coal liquefaction, potentially increasing the efficiency of coal usage in the energy sector.
Used in Waste Management:
Fly ash is used for the removal of heavy metals from industrial waste, contributing to a cleaner environment and more sustainable waste management practices.
