		+	Fly ash is a general term given to the lighter fine ash that is produced during the combustion of any material in a furnace or incinerator, it can be around 5-10% of the mass of the material being burnt. The density of this lighter fly ash called fly ash because it is kept in suspension during combustion and normally accumulates on the sides of chimney flues. The other ash that is produced is known as the main ash or bottom ash, this is a heavier ash that falls to the base of the incinerator. Fly ash is also commonly associated more directly with the combustion of coal as described here.

	Fly ash (or flue ash or pulverised flue ash PFA) is a by-product of the coal combustion process, particularly in electricity generating power stations. It is formed when fine particulates of burned coal fuse in suspension and are driven out with flue gases. As they are driven out of the combustion chamber, the fused material cools and forms glassy particles called fly ash. Modern coal-fired power plants use particle filtration equipment to catch the fly ash before it reaches the chimneys.

	Before the advent of modern air pollution control standards, much of the smog and air pollution in early to mid-20th century European cities was partly the result of releasing unfiltered fly ash directly into the atmosphere.

−	Fortunately, environmental and health legislation has reduced the emissions to less than 1% of the fly ash produced. Modern filtration processes may use mechanical collectors (such as dust cyclones that rely on vortex separation); electrostatic precipitators or filter bags. This has resulted in huge quantities of fly ash that must be disposed of: today, around 65% of the global fly ash production is sent to landfill. This has increased landfill costs globally which has led to more efforts to find ~~greater~~ recycling uses.	+	Fortunately, environmental and health legislation has reduced the emissions to less than 1% of the fly ash produced.
