A Review on Fly Ash Generation, its Composition and Environmental Impact for Durg - Bhilai Twin City Industrial Region

Industrial Solid Waste Management is one of the biggest problems the world faces today. It is an issue that troubles us economically, physically and everyday of the human lives. The contamination of the environment due to these ISW is also being linked to some of the diseases that are around currently. The study focuses on fly ash generation for Durg - Bhilai Twin City along with its composition and environmental impact. The various parameters are considered like percentage loss on ignition (LOI), SiO₂, Fe₂O₃, Al₂O₃, CaO and MgO from the different industrial sources in the Durg - Bhilai Twin City (DBTC) industrial Region. The chemical composition data were compared. It was found that sample 1 of flyash gives the more loss of ignition and sample - 3 high LOI (12.8 %), high iron content (30 %) with maximum values of CaO and MgO. The study seeks out the environmental effect on study area and utilization of fly ash as a light construction material in Durg - Bhilai Twin City region based on its chemical and physical characterization.
