FURTHER OPPORTUNITY FOR FLY ASH UTILIZATION IN CEMENT PRODUCTION

An on-going Federal Energy Administration-funded study of fly ash utilization in the production of cement is discussed and a summary is given of findings obtained up to the approximate mid-point of the project. The work with fly ash is one sector of a broader scope program dealing with the energy savings that can be achieved by intergrinding suitable industrial by-products or wastes with cement clinker. The levels of fly ash usage under investigation are below the 15 to 40 percent range covered by existing portland-pozzolan cement specifications in the United States. Varied character of the 19 fly ashes from widespread power plants is described. These are being used with clinkers from a number of cement plants.
