FLY ASH
1. Fly ash is a fine powder as a product from
industrial plants using pulverised coal or ignites
fuel.
2. It is most widely used “por zolan siliceous” or
“alumino siliceous” in nature in a finely
powdered form
3. They are spherical shaped “balls” fine than
cement particle
FLY ASH AS A
Apart from technical advantages it attributes to the
concrete properties

SUPPLEMENTRY Fly ash has its own benefits

● PROBLEM OF DISPOSAL

In India alone,we produce 75 millions tons of fly

ash every year,the disposal of which has
become a serious environmental problem .the
effective use of fly ash in concrete making is
therefore attracting serious considerations of
concrete technologists and government
departments.
 GLOBAL CARBON DIOXIDE EMISSIONS

➔ Global cement production is about 1.3 billion

tons in 1996 and production of every 1 ton of
cement emits 0.87 ton of carbon dioxide
➔ In broader terms,7% of global carbon dioxide
industry emissions can be attributed to
portland cement industry.
FLY ASH IN CONCRETE

❏ Fly ash could be an expensive replacement

for portland cement in concrete and using
it,improves strength and segregation ease of
pumping concrete.
❏ The rate of substitution typically specified is a
minimum of one and one and a half pounds
of fly ash to one pound of cement.
Portland cement or
● Portland cement and fly ash can both be key
ingredients in concrete mixes.Although

Fly ash concrete concrete is some time suse interchangeable

with cement,concrete is actually a mix of
base with larger aggregate materials.
● Portland cement can have fly ash in it,fly ash
concrete typically made up of base of full ash
instead of any portland cement.
 Comparison between two
PORTLAND CEMENT
● Portland cement is mined and manufactured
from a variety of sources.
● Portland cement is more expensive
● Portland cement can come in different grades
and typically has a higher price
FLY ASH CONCRETE
● Fly ash is a type of residue recovered from the
exhaust of coal mills,where the ash is
contaminant in the smoke.
● Fly ash is less expensive than portland
cement
● Fly ash can also have different grades,and low
price may mean low quality.
 PHYSICAL ASPECTS:

❏ The varies from light to dark grey depending

upon its carbon contents
❏ The quality of fly ash varies from source to
source
❏ Fly ash particles are small. They effectively
fill voids

Though fly ash offers environmental advantages it

also improves the:

❖ Performance and quality of concrete

❖ Reduce water demand
❖ Fly ash increases strength
 CONCLUSION:

Fly ash holds a vast potential for improving the FLY ASH BRICKS
modern day concrete when it comes to qualify in the
long term .In spite of being an industrial waste it
can improve durability and reduce heat of hydration.

The prospects of fly ash are still being underused

even today.thus keeping in mind about
environmental concerns and as a mineral mixture .
