To ensure good performance, researchers are systematically evaluating the range of chemical and physical properties that fly ash must have, as well as the extent to which it can be mixed with Portland cement. With a 30 – 33% blending ratio, fly ash can help save 270 kg of carbon emissions for every tonne of cement produced.
After the alkalis are removed, the cement kiln dust can be blended with clinker to produce acceptable cement, and cement kiln dust can be added to portland cement with other materials such as slag and fly ash. Other natural pozzolans exist such as volcanic ash, opaline chert and shales, tuffs, and diatomaceous earths.

Understanding Slag and Fly Ash. Before we compare slag vs fly ash, let's first understand what they are. Slag is a byproduct that results from the smelting process of various ores, such as iron, copper, and lead. When these ores are heated to extract the desired metal, slag is formed as molten, which is later cooled and solidified.
