Standards and guidelines governing the properties and use of fly ash and bottom ash in the USA have been established by governmental agencies and the ash industries. A description is given of the major specifications for fossil fuel ash. Major uses of fly ash in the USA include use in concretes, portland cement, brick manufacturing, mineral wool insulators, and as an aggregate for road base material.
