Cenosphere
is inactive, lightweight, empty circle made generally of alumina and
silica and are hollow ceramic microspheres found in fly ash a natural
by-product of coal combustion during the generation of electric power
which are loaded with air or dormant gas, which are used as fillers or
functional extenders in the manufacturing of paints, plastics,
lightweight aggregates for cement, resins; ceramics and other
construction products. Since Cenospheres frequently substitute mined
materials, they can considerably lower the cost of production. At the
same time, cenosphere buyer can opt for cenosphere that
can advantage complete product properties by growing the toughness and
improved sound proofing. Cenosphere are Eco - friendly as materials are
recycled from fly ash, and assist to conserve natural virgin fillers.
Cenosphere are recycled from the waste stream as a portion of the fly
ash generated in coal combustion. They are made up of iron, inert silica
and alumina. Color of cenosphere ranges from dark gray to white. They
are also referred to as microspheres, hollow spheres, micro balloons,
hollow ceramic microspheres or glass beads.
Due
to the spherical shape of cenosphere, which improves flow ability in
most applications and provides a more even distribution of the filler
material? The natural properties of cenosphere make it possible to use
them either in dry or wet slurry form. Cenospheres are easy to handle
that is the reason why Cenosphere buyer prefer it for its quality
of providing low surface area-to-volume ratio. Due to their inert
possessions, they are not exaggerated by solvents, water, acids, or
alkalis. Cenospheres are 75% lighter than other raw materials currently
used as a filler or extender. The properties are same as manufactured
sphere products. Thus, it is also called as Glass beads. Due to their
unique combination of low specific gravity, spherical shape, controlled
size, many high value applications can be made.
