Fly ash is a by-product produced while burning finely ground coal in a boiler to produce electricity. It is removed from the plant exhaust gases primarily by electrostatic precipitators or baghouses and secondarily by scrubber systems. Physically, fly ash is a very fine, powdery material, composed mostly of silica. Nearly all particles are spherical in shape. Fly ash is a pozzolan, a siliceous material which in the presence of water will react with calcium hydroxide at ordinary temperatures to produce cementitious compounds. SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3 and occasionally CaO are the main chemical components present in fly ashes. Fly ash significantly improves concrete performance in different ways and also provides many benefits in cement and non-cement applications. Fly Ash colour can vary from grey and dark grey, yellowish tan and light to brownish. ADVANTAGES OF FLY ASH IN CONCRETE Fly Ash is a Pozzolan Improves concrete workability and lowers water demand Sulfate and Alkali Aggregate Resistancet Rise in compressive strength over time Environment friendly CEMENTATION Fly Ash is optimized for its fineness while reducing the water demand and improving the chemical compositions to maximise its benefits when used in concrete. Fly-ash can also be used as an add-on to concrete mixture with pozzolanic and/or latent hydraulic properties. We at CEMENTATION selectively collect fly ash and subject to rigorous testing, further refines these collected materials to produce quality fly ash products meeting the needs of our customers.
Fly ash is a finely divided residue made from the combustion of pulverized coal that can be used to increase concrete durability and workability, while reducing permeability. As fly ash contains aluminous and siliceous components, it may form cement when mixed with water if the calcium content of the fly ash is high enough. Similarly, mixing fly ash with lime and water can create a substance similar to Portland cement. Fly ash can be separated into two main types, known as: Class F Class F fly ash contains particles covered in a type of melted glass allowing it to reduce the risk of concrete expansion and increase resistance to sulfates and alkali-aggregate reactions. Class C Class C fly ash contains a higher percentage of calcium oxide, making it more effective in strengthening structural concrete. Applications & Benefits of Fly Ash: Fly ash is used in commercial and industrial sectors for improving the durability and workability of concrete mixes. Fly ash is also used as filler in paints, adhesives, and metal and plastic composites. It's commonly used as structural fill for road construction and fly ash can be used to make bricks, ceramic tiles, plaster, Portland cement, and ready-mix cement.
Fly Ash a byproduct derived from the combustion of coal encompasses the finely dispersed particles that ascend with the flue gases The ash which accumulates at the bottom is referred to as bottom ash Prior to venting through the chimneys of coalfired power plants Fly Ash is diligently captured by electrostatic precipitators and other particle filtration equipment When combined with bottom ash extracted from the furnaces base it collectively assumes the nomenclature of coal ash The specification of Fly Ash varies significantly contingent upon the coal type in use however it consistently contains notable quantities of silicon dioxide and calcium oxide CaO both intrinsic constituents of numerous coalbearing rock strata Our establishment headquartered in India boasts a distinguished reputation as a Fly Ash Exporter catering to diverse sectors including cement ready mix concrete steel refractories and the construction industry Prominent Applications of Fly Ash encompass 1 Manufacture of Portland Pozzolanic Cement Performance Enhancement in Ordinary Portland Cement OPC 2 Partial Replacement of OPC in Cement Concrete 3 HighVolume Fly Ash Concrete 4 RollerCompacted Concrete Employed in Dam and Pavement Construction 5 Production of Ash Bricks and Other Building Materials 6 Construction of Road Embankments Structural Fills and LowLying Area Development 7 Utilization as a Soil Amendment in Agriculture and Wasteland Development Fly Ash can be categorized into two types based on the coal used Class F Fly Ash This type results from the combustion of anthracite and bituminous coal Class F Fly Ash typically contains lower levels of lime usually under 15 percent but higher proportions of silica alumina and iron exceeding 70 percent Class C Fly Ash Produced by burning lignite or subbituminous coal Class C Fly Ash exhibits selfcementing properties It often possesses a higher lime content frequently exceeding 15 percent and sometimes reaching as high as 30 percent This elevated CaO content contributes to the distinctive selfhardening attributes of Class C Fly Ash Both Class F and Class C Fly Ash are outcomes of coal combustion in largescale power plants Following collection in electrostatic precipitators or baghouses Fly Ash is transferred to substantial silos for distribution To ensure consistency and quality Fly Ash is classified according to precise particle size specifications when required Our minimum order quantity is one container reflecting our commitment to meeting the diverse needs of our clientele
China Clay: China Clay is a clay mineral with the chemical composition AlSiO3O5(OH)3. It is layered silicate mineral. It is soft earthy, usually white in color, produced by the chemical weathering of Aluminium Silicate mineral like Feldspar. Commercial grades of China Clay are supplied and transported as dry powder form, semi dry noodle form or as slurry. Applications: - It is used in Cer/bamics for body & glazing of Tiles and Sanitary Wares. - In paper it is used as filler. It is also used for paper coating purpose. - It is used in paint also to extend Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) and modify gloss level. - It is used in rubber to enhance reinforcement properties.
