What is the difference between bitumen, sub-bitumen and lignite?

What is fly ash?

Apcivilian said:   9 years ago
Fly ash is a product of coal combustion process.

Marom dong said:   8 years ago
Nice explanation, thank you all.

Apcivilian said:   8 years ago
Fly ash is volcanic ash and coal combustion process ash in powdered form,

It doesn't contain cementious property in itself but when react with Caoh2 in cement it form cementious compounds CSH gel! Increase its strength!

Deepak said:   7 years ago
Fly ash is a byproduct from burning pulverized coal in electric power generating plants. During combustion, mineral impurities in the coal (clay, feldspar, quartz, and shale) fuse in suspension and float out of the combustion chamber with the exhaust gases.
