Title:

The Process for Manufacture of Building Bodies such as Bricks, Building Blocks, Roofing Tiles and the Likes Utilising Fly Ash, Bottom Ash of Pulverised Coal Fired Thermal Power Stations, Ash from Shale and Washery Rejects and/or Sinks

Value Proposition:

A process for the production of high-quality and cost competitive construction material, such as bricks, building blocks, roofing tiles utilizing waste fly ash.

Summary Application:

A process for the manufacture of building bodies such as bricks, roofing tiles and construction building blocks utilizing Fly ash, bottom ash, lime, sand, chemical accelerator, that yields products like bricks having  better machine finish, about 25% less requirements of mortar, with very high crushing strength & low porosity, lighter in weight, high durability and no efflorescence. 

Advantages:
  • Better machine finish-about 25% less requirements of mortar. Very high crushing strength & low porosity, Lighter in weight. High durability, No efflorescence.  Fly ash having maximum 10% carbon can be utilized.
  • Cost competitive.
