An attempt has been made to develop an economic feasible technology for utilization of fly ash. Physical and chemical analysis of fly ash, portland cement and clay is reported, giving a comparative study of how much fly ash can be mixed with a particular type of portland cement and clay constituents. It is recommended that depending on the type of clay available up to 40% fly ash can be utilised for brick manufacturing and up to 25% for manufacture of portland pozzolona cement. Tests performed on pozzolona cement conforms the ISI specification for cement. The economic feasibility of such types of cement plant of capacity 100 T.P.D. has been worked out.
