Fly ash – is one of the residues resulted from hard coalorbrowncoaldust combustion in various types offurnacesin the power or heat and powerplants. Flyash FLY ASH Zbigniew Giergiczny. V International Conference ASHES FROM TPPS
Fly ash can be classified according to: • chemical composition, • amorphous and crystalline phase content, • fineness (sieve residue), • unburned carbon content (loss on ignition). Classification of fly ash Zbigniew Giergiczny. V International Conference ASHES FROM TPPS

Fly ash according to cementitious standard EN 197-1 • Fly ash is obtained by electrostatic or mechanical precipitation of dust-like particles from the flue gases of furnaces fired with pulverised coal. The ash obtained by other methods should not be used in the cement according to EN 197-1. • Siliceousflyash (V)is a fine powder of mostlysphericalparticleshavingpozzolanicproperties.It consistsessentially of reactivesilicondioxide (SiO2) and aluminium oxide (Al2O3). The remaindercontains iron oxide (Fe2O3) and othercompounds. • Requirements: • reactivecalciumoxide (CaO) max. 10,0 % • reactivesilicondioxidecontent min. 25,0 % • content of loss on ignition (unburned carbon): • cat. A ≤ 5,0 %, • cat. B ≤ 7,0 %, • cat. C ≤ 9,0 %. Zbigniew Giergiczny. V International Conference ASHES FROM TPPS

Calcareous fly ash (W) • Very fine powder having pozzolanic properties and/orhydraulic, • It consists of reactive calciumoxide (CaO ≥ 10 %), silicon dioxide (SiO2) and aluminium oxide (Al2O3). The remainder contains iron oxide (Fe2O3) and other compounds, • It containsmorephasesthansiliceousflyash. Zbigniew Giergiczny. V International Conference ASHES FROM TPPS

Commoncementscontainflyash as a main component 1)Most often this type of cement includes fly ash and blastfurnace slag, but also may include pozzolan, silica fume,burntshaleand ground limestone. 2)The cement includes usually a mixture of pozzolans and fly ash or fly ash. 3) The cement includespozzolans, blastfurnaceslag and siliceousflyash.
