Cenospheres

The Problem: A cenosphere is a lightweight, inert, hollow sphere made largely of silica and alumina and filled with air or inert gas, typically produced as a byproduct of coal combustion at thermal power plants. On average 0.5% of the fly ash generated in a coal fired power station boiler are Cenospheres. When fly ash is wet discharged in to ash ponds/lagoons cenospheres float on the water surface, get finally air borne and cause dust pollution.

Fly Ashes

Fly Ash

THE PROBLEM: From 1970 to 2030 world coal consumption will double. Asia is the leading continent in this  increase. India is currently producing 140 million tons of ash generated by its existing coal fired power stations. The shortage in the electricity supply to fuel the growth of Indian industries requires more power stations. Coal is readily available in India and most of the planned power stations will be again coal fired.
