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 />
