The drive to develop more sustainable materials has made fly ash a valuable raw material in many different applications. Comprehensive and authoritative,
Handbook of Fly Ash
highlights the latest research efforts to develop the properties of fly ash to maximum utility while safeguarding the environment.
This book takes an interdisciplinary approach to the research into the classification and compositions of various types of fly ash, such as bottom ash and boiler slag, special classes of fly ash, and their sources around the globe. This is followed by a discussion of fly ash-reinforced composites, such as elastomer-based composites and metal matrix composites. This book also covers a wide range of applications of fly ash in cement, concrete, bricks and blocks, road construction, wastewater treatment, and scrubber sludge solidification.
