To use fly ashes in various applications, it is necessarycharacterise them completely. The first research to date carried out on silico-aluminous Ay ashes in order to characterise them physicallymorphologically, chemically and mineralogically, resulted in the recognition that they are relatively simple materials. In the present study, a silico-aluminous fly ash coming from the power station of Albi(France)was selected. Heat treatment at 450 and 1200 C together with coal simulatedthe treatment undergone by coal in the power station in order to mimic real coal residue. In conclusion, the diversity of the particles contained inAly ash could only be explained by the relation existing between the fly ash and its coal of origino 2007 Chinese Society of Particuology and Institute of Process Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Other ash formation mechanisms are based on a modelof fusion, expansion, spheroidisation and quenching(HemmingFig. 2. Morphology of fly ash.Berry, 1960; Raask, 1968). Hemmings model(HemmingBerry, 1960) attaches more importance to the calcium contentand fusion temperatures of the temary eutectics and the viscositof two populations of fly ash.In this study, the relation between silico-aluminous fly ashand its coal oftreatment does not completely erase the history of the material(size, nature and shape of the particles).
