We have prepared alkali borate glass with Biomass fly ash as a network modifier (upto 5 mole %). Structural changes induced by addition of fly ash have been investigated by UV-VIS and FTIR spectroscopy, XRD ,density measurements and molar volume. This work can lead to future application of utilization and characterization of fly ash in glass forming materials. The optical properties of the glasses were studied. The heaps of BMA can be converted into a value added product in a sustainable way.
