  • A cenosphere is a lightweight, inert, hollow sphere filled with inert air or gas, typically produced as a byproduct of coal combustion at
    thermal power plants.
  • A cenosphere (ceramic sphere) is a hollow microscopic ball made of smooth silica-aluminum and other minor ceramic elements.
  • Cenospheres, derived from the inferno of coal-fired power plants, have been used for more than 30 years to improve the qualities of
    many manufactured products.
  • Cenospheres are hard and rigid, light, waterproof, innoxious, and insulative. This makes them highly useful in a variety of products,
    notably fillers.
  • Cenospheres are now used as fillers in cement to produce low density concrete.
  • The process of burning coal in thermal power plants produces fly ash containing ceramic particles made largely of alumina and silica.
    These particles form a part of the fly ash produced in the burning process.
  • Cenospheres are unique free flowing powders composed of hard shelled, hollow, minute spheres.
  • A small proportion of the pulverised fuel ash (PFA) produced from the combustion of coal in power stations is formed as
    Cenospheres.
  • Cenospheres are made up of silica, iron and alumina.
  • Cenospheres have a size range from 1 to 500 microns with an average compressive strength of 3000+ psi.
  • Colors range from white to dark gray. They are also referred to as microspheres, hollow spheres, hollow ceramic microspheres, microballoons, or glass beads.
  • Cenospheres are essentially thin-walled glass spheres with a relative density of less than 1.0.
  • Cenospheres occur in minute concentrations; a ton of South African fly ash gives rise to only one kg of cenospheres.
  • After recovery, drying and size classification, cenospheres produce a free flowing white or greywhite powder.
  • Cenospheres, also referred to as hollow ceramic microspheres, is a non-porous, inert, hollow, alumina-silicate, micro balls that is formed by burning of pulverized coal during power generation process.
  • Cenospheres are formed from coal combustion ash when it is in a molten state.
  • Cenospheres are used as fillers in lowdensity concrete; in plastics and composite materials used for manufacturing bowling balls, kayaks, surfboards, and automotive components; and in fire bricks, floor tiles, and insulating materials.
  • They are used to replace minerals and resins where the benefits may be as diverse as weight reduction, improved insulation, reduced shrinkage, improved fire resistance reduced friction, improved surface finish or simply easier application.
  • Float-sink with centrifugation analyses using distilled water and lithium metatungstate solutions were used to quantify the recovery of Cenospheres of various densities.
  • Cenospheres are incorporated in polymeric materials to obtain composites of low density and high compressive strength, known as syntactic foams.
  • Didcot Power Station is able to harvest the Cenospheres from the lake at Radley and approximately 400 tonnes are made available each year.
  • The grade of a Cenospheres most often used for high quality and smooth coatings is more like fine dust and not granular like sand.
  • The Cenospheres are produced only by a highly filtered processing of the fly ash.
  • Cenospheres are the key ingredient in Ceramic coatings.
  •  Cenospheres are derived “flyash” in a multi filtration process, then filtered again to separate the specific grades and qualities of Cenospheres used in coatings and high tech.
  • Cenospheres is used in high tech manufacturing, aerospace space and other technologies.
