Odd Lily,

I found the coal ash reference in Fournier's. Thank you, but when I
went to look coal or fly ash up in Hamer's _The potters' dictionary of
materials and techniques_ I could find nothing. Hamer mentions only
wood and bone ash.

Coal ash Generic:

COAL ASH............ 1.00 100.00%
========
1.00

CaO 0.46* 4.08%

My teacher brought me some ash they used near her home for road building. I
sieved it and added it to glazes. Nothing special with this material. I
looked for information in the net and found
http://www.bgu.ac.il/IAR/Zabicky.htm Professor Zabiky wrote me that it was
not an expensive material and I could by in a low cost some tons.

I did not go on because it was not so interesting.
CaO: 0.46
MgO: 0.54
TiO2: 0.09
Al2O3: 2.01
P2O5: 0.05
SiO2:4.96
Fe2O3: 0.39
I got it fro a clayarter in 1998 I believe from Rogers's ash glazes book.

I tested the coal ash with Tony Hansen's 20/5 I recalculated, was the same just
dirtier.

Dear Friends,
Did a Google Search for Fly ash and Coal Ash. Found about half a million =
entries if you fancy having a sort through.
In general it appears as though Fly Ash is compounded of a Glass =
composed of Alumina, Silica and Iron Oxides, in the form of spheres =
which is formed above 1200=B0 Celsius.
I also found from www.uga.edu/srel/d.area.htm the following information =
for people who may think to use it as a glaze additive and I quote:=20
<elements and heavy metals, including Al, As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, Se, =
Sr, V, and Zn.>>
Note, before you panic, that General Coal Ash is composed of all of the =
ash from the combustion of coal and that every seam of coal will give a =
different assay from its ash so not all of those elements may be =
present.
Perhaps caution and research is needed before it is employed in Domestic =
Glazes.
Best regards,
Ivor Lewis. Redhill, South Australia.
