Fly Ash
origin | inorganic fraction (mainly clays) of the combustion of powdered coal in an electricity power plant |
main constituent | clay minerals |
practical significance | clay is believed to occur on different Solar System bodies such as Mars satellites and asteroids. Moreover, it is an important component of mineral aerosols in the Earth atmosphere |
particle size | measured size distributions Fraunhofer: reff=3.65 μm, veff=10.9 |
particle shape | irregular |
refractive index | estimated to be in the range [1.5-1.7] + i[0.00001-0.001] |
color | gray brown powder |
scattering matrix | 442 nm 633 nm |
