“…Fly ash (FA) mainly comes from the flue gas emitted by burning coal during the process of thermal power generation [ 30 ], metal smelting [ 31 ], heating for warmth, and so forth. FA usually exhibited a smooth surface like glass [ 32 ], with an average particle size of less than 20 microns [ 33 ], and contains a variety of active components such as unburned carbon and metal oxides (SiO 2 , Al 2 O 3 , and Fe 2 O 3 [ 34 , 35 ]). According to previous researches and reports, FA had been effectively and deeply applied in the fields of building materials [ 36 ], metallurgy [ 37 ], agriculture [ 38 ], and chemical industry [ 39 ] at home and abroad.…”
