WHAT IS FLY ASH?
Fly ash is the finely divided residue
that results from the combustion
of pulverized coal and is
transported from the combustion
chamber by exhaust gases.
Fly ash is produced by coal-fired electric
and steam generating plants.
WHAT ARE USES OF FLY ASH
There are number of the field
where Fly Ash is utilized like In
construction for production of
Cement , Concrete ,Ceramics.
Some other applications include in:
Agricultural Applications
In waste management

WHAT ARE COMPOSITIONS OF FLY ASH?
Fly Ash is composed of some Elemental
Compositions like SiO2 ,Al2O3, Fe2O3, CaO,
MgO ,Na2O, K2O, SO3, P2O5, TiO2. Also some
common compositions like minerals,
elements, glass etc.
HOW FLY ASH IS GENERATED?
Fly ash is produced by coal-fired electric and steam
generating plants. Typically, coal is pulverized and
blown with air into the boiler's combustion
chamber where it immediately ignites, generating
heat and producing a molten mineral residue.

AshgeneratIonproceses
Pulverized coal particle containing two or
more mineral matters show some degree
of coalscence during burnout of charge
particles, this coalescence will cause an
increase in size during the transformation
from mineral to ash particle. Coalescence
will modify the mineral chemical
distribution by producing ash particles .
Pyrite, calcite, ankerite and gypsum are the minerals in
power station coals, that loses volatile components as
they transform. This volatile loss changes the chemical
composition and reduces both the mass and the size of
the resulting ash particles.
The main effect of fusion is change in shape from
irregular coal minerals to spherical ash particles. As
fused material separates from the mass of mineral
matter, will result in formation of small ash particles.
The slightly higher K2O and Na2O
concentrations in the ashes probably
result from the capture by ash particles of
alkalis volatilized from burning char
particles, and slightly lower CaO
concentrations probably result from the
loss of some carbonate mineral matter to

alumina oxide (Al2O3), quartz (SiO2), and mullite
(3Al2O3 · 2SiO2). The PANI–FA composites at 10%,

FTIR
The FTIR spectra of PANI with different
concentrations of FA
The FTIR spectrum of pure aniline shows the broadening in
individual peaks ranges 1275-7578 cm−1. This is related to N-H
extending the vibration of PANI. The decrease in the
broadening of FTIR bands in the range 1459-7092 cm−1 was
due to covalent and hydrogen bonding between–NH2 and –
OH group of PANI and FA respectively. Further, the
characteristic peaks detected at the spectrum of PANI are
due to the quinoid ring interest at 1635 and 1159 cm–1.
21. The image of FA in figure with Pure PANI
consists of abundant spherical particles
with the plane and smooth texture.
These particles could be oxides of
calcium and silicon.
it is also evident that granularity rises
with an accumulation of FA in PANI.
in the complex with 10 wt% FA, the
grains are much larger than the scale in
the SEM, i.e., 20 µm, whereas in the
merged with 30 wt% FA, the size series
from a few microns to nearby 10 µm.

nonuniform and porous surfaces. The
PANI-FLYASH composites in figure with

°C min–1 for: FA; 10% PANI + FA, 20% PANI + FA, 30% PANI + FA
The steady weight loss detected for the PANI/FA
samples in the temperature range 80–450°C is
accredited to the removal of adsorbed water (up to
30%) from both the polymer and oxide surface and acid
dopant. Further, the decrease is also attributed to the
interface of PANI with metal oxides such as Ti-O-Ti,
Al2O3, and SiO2 present in FA. The thermogram of PANI
indicated well-differentiated behaviour noticeable by a
durable weight loss in the temperature range 470–
600°C are detected for PANI/FA and PANI complexes.

The characteristic bands observed at 1620 cm−1 and 2842
cm−1 in Polypyrrole are allocated respectively to the non-
symmetric trembling manner of C=C in benzenoid and
quinoid ring system in polypyrrole. The IR spectra of
Polypyrrole composite in presence of FA exhibit new peaks
distinctly at 3244, 3449 and 3617 cm– 1 which might be
allocated to the occurrence of numerous metal oxides in
the composite. This peak can correspond to the internal
SiO4 tetrahedra, particularly the Si-O-Si chain structure.
25. A very high enlargement reveals the
homogeneous spreading of FA
(cenosphere) particles. It is seen from
the micrograph that granular and cluster
structure of polypyrrole is preserved
even after the accumulation of FA in
polypyrrole. Hence, a system of granular
polypyrrole and FA has been designed in
the case of composites.
It is perceived from the micrograph that

In the FTIR spectra of PTh (Figure (a)), peaks at 1549, 1465,
and 3460 cm-1 are associated with the C-C, C-N, and N-H
stretching vibration in the pyrrole ring. The peaks located at
2920 and 2831 cm-1 are designated as the asymmetric
stretching and symmetric vibrations of CH2. In the FTIR
spectrum of FA (Figure (b)), the broad peak at 3409 cm-1
and a peak at 1719 cm-1 can be assigned to O-H stretching
vibration and the carbonyl (C=O) stretching respectively.
29. A layered structure of individual FA sheets with a
lateral dimension of few micrometers is observed
in the TEM image of Figure (a). The TEM image of
PTFA10% (Figure (b)) shows a crumpled and
agglomerated sheet-like structure with hundreds
of nanometers. The wrinkled structure observed in
the TEM image of PTFA10% sheets is due to the
rapid removal of intercalated functional groups in
graphitic oxide during exfoliation.
The TEM image of the PTFA20% composite (Figure
(c)) shows some fiber-like structures of PTh which
are decorated at the surface of the FA sheets. It
confirms the formation ordered PTh chain on the
surface of the FA sheets.
From the TEM image of PTFA30% composite,
(Figure (d)) it is observed that the exfoliated FA
sheets are decorated by PTh nanoparticles, leading
to the formation of well-dispersed composite
sheets.

The TGA curve of pure PTh (Figure (a)) shows that PTh
is stable up to 2000C and then major degradation starts
at 240o C which is due to the thermal decomposition of
PTh. In the composites, major degradation starts at
higher temperatures (248-2600C) compared to pure
PTh. Further it is observed that the weight retention
value of the PTh/FA (3 wt.%) composite increases upto
19% on incorporation of FA compared to pure PTh which
shows only 4% weight retention value at 6000C.

ALTERNATIVE USES
Understanding the coal formation and
combustion processes provided both a
background and basis for the
alternative uses of the resultant fly
ash. Fly ash, although posing
environmental pollution, it is an
important raw material for various
applications.
DEVELOPMENT OF NEW TECHNOLOGY
The unburned carbon in fly ash plays an important role
for adsorption and converted to activated carbon,
which will enhance the adsorption capacity. There
should be a greater emphasis on the development of
new technology for efficient utilization of fly ash.
IN SITU POLYMERIZATION
The current study has successfully
synthesized the PANI–FA and
pyrolle-FA composites by in situ
polymerization with different ratios
of polyaniline and polypyrolle to FA.
BEST SUITED CONDUCTING POLYMER
Conclusively, it can be stated that the generated composites
of fly ash i.e. polyaniline and polypyrrole are best suited as
conducting polymer because of their excellent electrical and
thermal properties.
ENVIRONMENTAL
POLLUTION
Fly ash utilization program
must be extensively taken up
covering various aspects at
different level to minimize the
environmental pollution.
NEW CHARACTERIZATION OF NEW
POLYMER
Significant efforts have been made for the new
characterization of new polymer composites of
polyaniline and polypyrrole with fly ash by
thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron
microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and FTIR
spectroscopy.
33. Another versatile space from the technological
purpose of reading is that the studies on
composites containing conducting compounds
associate degreed an inert polymer matrix.
However, still, additional analysis is required to
establish their immense usage.
Further, these materials have huge potential for
specialized applications in Space and Aeronautics.
Polyaniline and Polypyrrole family of composites
have garnered much attention worldwide due to
their high environmental stability, low cost, and
lightweight.
Polyaniline and Polypyrrole fly
ash composites have several
potential applications in sensors,
electronic devices, photovoltaic
devices, electroluminescence,
molecular electronics,
fabrication of amplifier circuits
and capacitors, in microwave
absorbing materials due to their
low dielectric loss.
They can also act as a catalyst
supporting low conducting
coatings for top voltage
transmission cables and for
the anodal protection of steel
against corrosion. Moreover,
there's terribly nice potential
to use them within the just
about undiscovered medical
specialty applications
The advents of conducting
polymers represent one of
the most important industrial
revolutions of the 21st
century. Conducting
polymers is becoming
increasingly important for a
variety of applications. These
newly developed materials
will not only replace metals
in several areas but will also
become part of daily
electronic appliances.

OF ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY AND
THERMOGRAVIMETRIC ANALYSIS OF
CONDUCTING POLYMER COMPOSITES WITH
FLY ASH
Abstract
Fly ash or flue ash, also known as pulverized fuel ash, is a coal
combustion product that is composed of the particulates (fine particles
of burned fuel) that are driven out of coal-fired boilers together with the
flue gases. The composite materials of fly ash have a good characteristic
of withstanding wear resistance, hardness and tensile strength. Due to
less weight and good strength, composite materials perform an essential
role in the engineering field. Conducting polymer composites of
polyaniline (PANI), polypyrrole (PPy) and polyethylene dioxythiophene
with different dielectrics and fly ash can be synthesized by various
methods. These composites of conducting polymer have extended their
sphere and presently finding their usage in Electromagnetic Interference
(EMI) shielding technology. Current research deals with the study of
synthesis and electrical conductivity and thermogravimetric analysis of
conductive polymer composites (polyaniline and polypyrrole) with fly
ash. Clean and pure fly ash procured from Chandrapur super thermal
power station was characterized for Ash content, X-ray diffraction, X-ray
fluorescence, Scanning Electron Microscopy, and Fourier Transform
Infrared Spectroscopy later used for the synthesis of polyaniline and
polypyrrole composites. The fly ash composites were tested for X-ray
diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, fourier transform infrared
spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. The results of developed
composites of fly ash demonstrated that the composites have good
electrical and thermal conductivity with fly ash.
FLY ASH: CURRENT INDIAN AND
WORLDWIDE SCENARIO
Abstract
Fly ash is a fine gray powder comprising typically glassy and
spherical particles that are formed as a byproduct of coal-fired
power station. It consists of many minerals (quartz, kaolinite etc.),
elements (P, K, Cu, Mg, Mn, etc.), crystalline phases (gypsum,
aluminum oxide, iron, etc.), and is a cheap material having typical
applications in various areas: cement production, concrete, ceramics,
agriculture, waste management, and environmental rehabilitation
etc. It is a valuable material produced largely in Thermal Power
Stations (TPS). Every year the fly ash production in India is growing
this is because of the increasing number of power stations.
According to a report, more than 155 thermal power stations are
currently producing more than 170 million tons fly ash this is because
the generated fly ash at NTPC stations is widely used in the
production of concrete products, cement, and cellular concrete
products, bricks, blocks and tiles etc. Current review deals with the
worldwide production and utilization of Fly ash also in India and in
Indian states. The objective behind paper is to focus on commercial
interest of industries and Indian regulations with initiatives on fly
ash utilization, redefines the Ash generation process also provides
the unique static on patents filed in US on it
