Results of quantitative determinations of quartz, mullite, and magnetic iron oxides (magnetite and y-FezO3) are reported for size-fractionated coal fly ash. The concentrations of these crystalline phases are found to decrease as particle size decreases. Results of chemical analysis of the magnetic phase indicate that it crystallized from molten silicates during ash formation.
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.
