Fly ash, State : Powder

Fly ash, also known as flue-ash is a residue which is generated during combustion and consists of fine particles. There are impurities in coal which mostly consist of clays, limestone and dolomite particles. These turn up into ash as they cannot be completely burned.

Fly ash is useful in a number of ways and is one of the most researched upon mineral source. It is mainly a pozzolanic substance which contains aluminum and silicon material which in return due to the presence of water can take form of cement.

A lot of research and development initiative have been taken place across the globe to build and develop technologies that can utilize the full potential of fly ash. Royal Mineral takes care to ensure flawless production stages.

Fly ash can be used in cement, tiles and blocks among others. Other applications of fly ash include being used as an admixture, cold weather resistance products, reduces crack problems and as a substitute for Portland cement which can be made by mixing Fly ash, water and lime together.

• The process requires fly ash that consists of impurities to be mixed in suitable proportion with either lime or gypsum. Then these are added to form a uniform mixture. Even cement can be used instead of lime and gypsum. Water is added into the mixture and after it is dried, the mixture is transferred into a molding furnace.
• Here either the working takes place hydraulically or compacted through pressure. Now what concludes is the required fly ash being turned into concrete and used in other applications. In addition, there are times when lime might not be available as it could be that its cost is way too high,therefore cement acts as a fine alternative and used instead of it. In addition, it is easily available and costs way too low as compared to lime.
