Original Abstract

After combustion of biomass, such as cereal straw or coniferous wood sawdust and bark, fly ash and ash remain as waste materials. Vegetable ashes contain a certain amount of amorphous silicon dioxide. These ashes have pozzolanic properties and are able to react with calcium hydroxide at ordinary temperatures. Compounds like CSH gels are formed during the reaction. The mechanical properties of mortar specimens prepared from lime, sand and fly ash from coniferous eood sawdust are presented in the paper.
