Classification<br />

• Fly ashes can be divided into two categories which<br />

differ from each other mainly in calcium content.<br />

• The ash containing less than 10 percent CaO, is<br />

generally a product of the combustion of<br />

anthracite <strong>and</strong> bituminous coals.<br />

• The ash typically containing 15 to 35 percent<br />

analytical CaO, is generally a product of<br />

combustion of lignite <strong>and</strong> subbituminous coals.<br />
