N2 - Pond ash, a byproduct of coal-fired thermal power plants, is a promising alternative to natural sand in concrete production. This review paper examines the potential of pond ash as a game-changer in the construction industry by exploring its chemical composition, physical properties and durability. The high silica content of pond ash makes it a suitable replacement for natural sand, with the added benefits of being easily accessible and cost-effective. Furthermore, using pond ash in concrete production can help mitigate the negative environmental impact of coal combustion and reduce the depletion of natural resources. However, several factors must be considered, such as the particle size, shape and surface texture of pond ash, to ensure optimal performance in concrete. This paper highlights the key findings and implications of recent studies on the use of pond ash in concrete, demonstrating its potential to revolutionize the construction industry while promoting sustainable practices.
