Fly ash (FA) F low reactivity, slow hydration reaction and low early strength, restricted its industrial usage to less than 25 wt %. Ash properties were modified by mechanical activation to achieve higher added value product. The activation depends on the equipment type and their particle size range of milling. This paper reviewed the milling equipment effect on particle size, surface properties, and chemical compositions of activated ash. Increasing in the surface area, pozzolana activity and the reduction of crystalline dense layers of fly ash F, leading to microstructure and structural variations which raised the ash industrial applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
