    This document discusses how fly ash, a byproduct of coal combustion in thermal power plants, can be used as a construction material. Fly ash has advantages like being cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and increasing strength in cement and concrete. It is a viable replacement for scarce and expensive conventional building materials. Using fly ash bricks instead of clay bricks reduces emissions and helps address the problems of waste disposal from power plants and depletion of natural resources. The document outlines the production and uses of fly ash bricks and their benefits over traditional clay bricks.

    FLY ASH

    TURNING INDUSTRIAL WASTE INTO


    USEFUL CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL

    ZIMAM GHANI
    BSA UNIVERSITY
    INTRODUCTION
    Fly ash, a industrial by-product from Thermal Power
    Plants with current annual generation of approximately
    108 million tones and its proven suitability for variety
    of applications as admixture in
    cement/concrete/mortar, lime pozzolana mixture
    (bricks/blocks) etc. is such an ideal material which
    attracts the attention of everybody.
    Large number of innovative alternate building
    materials and low cost construction techniques
    developed through intensive research efforts during
    last three to four decades satisfies functional as well as
    specification requirements of conventional
    materials/techniques and provide an avenue for
    bringing down the construction cost.
    PROMINENT ADVANTAGES OF FLY ASH

    COST EFFECTIVENESS
    ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY
    INCREASES STRENGTH
    CONSERVATION OF
    NATURAL RESOURCES
    AND MATERIAL
    GREAT WORKABILITY
    REDUCES PERMEABILITY
    THE NEED FOR FLY ASH
    Large scale housing construction activities require huge
    amount of money running into thousands of crores of rupees.
    Out of the total cost of house construction, building materials
    contribute to about 70 percent costs in developing countries
    like India.
    Therefore, the need of the hour is replacement of costly and
    scarce conventional building materials by innovative, cost
    effective and environment friendly alternate building
    materials.
    The new material should be environment friendly and
    preferably utilize industrial/agro wastes because as a result of
    rapid industrialization, the generation of wastes has increased
    several folds during the last few years, which needs to be
    utilized / disposed safely on priority
    PRODUCTION OF FLY ASH
    SUITABILITY IN INDIAN
    CONTEXT
     Abundantly available
     Either free of cost or low cost material
     Cement making is of great concern due to
    depleting natural resources and increasing
    CO2 generation
     100% utilization of fly ash notification by
    MoEF, Nov. 2009
     Exploit the full potential of fly ash as
    source of silica and alumina: >90% fly ash
    can be used in many products
     Indian fly ash is suitable for
    geopolymerization
     The average ambient temperature in India
    is 27°C and average humidity is >50%,
    FLY ASH BUILDING MATERIALS
    GREENER BUILDING MATERIAL
    Manufacturing each ton of fly ash bricks
    instead of clay bricks will reduce emission of
    carbon dioxide – the major greenhouse gas - by
    0.0434 ton .
     If in the future fly ash bricks can replace 50%
    clay bricks there will be a reduction of clay
    bricks by 10 million tons each year, which will
    reduce the emission of greenhouse gas (carbon
    dioxide) by 435,000 tons each year, equivalent
    to removing 400,000 cars from road.
    Furthermore, it will reduce total air pollutants
    (CO, NOx, SOx, particulate matters, and
    volatile organic compounds) by an amount
    equivalent to 920 million vehicle miles of truck
    use.
    MICRO STRUCTURE OF FLYASH

    The difference between fly ash


    and Portland cement becomes
    apparent under a microscope.
    Fly ash particles are almost
    totally spherical in shape,
    allowing them to flow and
    blend freely in mixtures. That Microstructure of fly ash (left) and Portland
    capability is one of the cement (right)
    properties making fly ash a
    desirable admixture for
    concrete.
    COMPARISON OF FLYASH
    BRICKS WITH CLAY BRICKS
    CONCLUSION
    Much fossil fuel is used in heating clay bricks in kilns. Burning
    such fuel generates air pollution and greenhouse gas (CO2),
    contributing to global warming. By manufacturing fly ash bricks
    (at room temperature) instead of clay bricks (at over
    2,000 F), emission of air pollutants and greenhouse gas is
    avoided at brick plants, which helps to reduce air pollution and
    global warming.
     Greenest Bricks not only meets the IS standard for building
    bricks, it also has appealing colors and uniform shape and size,
    features that make brick laying easier and more cost-effective
    than laying clay bricks.
    Compressive strength of fly ash bricks is higher than the
    conventional clay bricks by40% to 80%.
    10% lighter in weight than conventional clay bricks.
    It has low water absorption within 20%
    of its weight as per IS 1077-1976
    It costs 20% less than conventional clay
    brick manufacture.
    Cost effective, energy-efficient &
    environment friendly (as it avoids the use
    of fertile clay soil)
    There is good demand for fly ash bricks
    nowadays and the awareness among the
    people is required.
