fly ash
Combustion's captured remnant
Fly ash is the fine powder residue captured from the exhaust gases of coal-burning power plants and industrial furnaces.
It consists mainly ofite particles ofite glass,ite calcium oxide, and other minerals.
Fly ash is widely used as an addite in concrete, where it improves strength and workability while reducing the amount of cement needed: The contractor specified a concrete mix containing fly ash.
