Abstract

The laser Raman microprobe was used to interrogate individual fly ash particles as small as 1 μm diameter and record “fingerprint” Raman spectra from both crystalline and non-crystalline components.of the fly ash. When compared to reference patterns of known crystalline phases, the Raman spectra can be used to identify crystalline phases and can give some structural information on other phases. Furthermore, because this method characterizes fly ash particles on an individual basis, correlations to both color and morphology of the particles can be made.
