Cenospheres: A review. Navid Ranjbar, Carsten Kuenzel, in Fuel, 2017. Abstract. Cenospheres are one of the most value added fractions of coal fly ash. They have a hollow spherical structure and can be applied in many industrial applications, due to their superior properties; such as low bulk density, high thermal resistance, high workability and high strength.
In thermal power plants, pulverized coal combusts to give an intricate composition of anthropogenic materials such as fly ash (coal). These materials are a major threat to environmental (air and water, etc.) pollution if dispose of to landfill sites and rivers.

Fly ash, a substantial byproduct of coal combustion in thermal power plants, poses significant disposal challenges due to its vast generation and limited utilization. The presence of Fe3O4 imparts weak magnetic properties to fly ash, making magnetic separation an attractive approach for its recovery. However, traditional magnetic separation methods often struggle …

Cenospheres are particles of ash with a density lower than the density of water, which facilitates their separation by floatation in sedimentation tanks of power plants (Manocha et al. 2011). Their size usually fits within the range from 5 to 500 μm, usually from 20 to 200 μm (Pichór 2005; Joseph et al. 2013; Soh et al. 2016).
