Description :
Glasses were prepared by using Biomass ash (BMA). BMA contains large quantity of silica and alumina. Silica is the basic material used in the preparation of glasses. The BMA is the bye product of the thermo electric power plant making use of agro waste for combustion. This is an attempt to utilize this BMA to prepare glasses. The glass samples were prepared using BMA along with analytical reagent (AR) grade chemicals such as Boric acid, Sodium chloride, Potassium chloride. The powder was fired in a furnace at a suitable melting temperature. The duration of melting was two hours. The homogenized melt was then cast in steel discs. The DC electrical conductivity and other physical properties of the glasses were measured.
