"The book focuses on the techno-economic possibilities of converting fly ash into economic goods through internalization of fly ash within the industrial plants. The study focuses on two industrial plants located in two districts of Uttar Pradesh, India in the general frame of industrialization. The analysis shows the possibility of reduction of generation of fly ash per unit of final output, the possibility of transforming fly ash generated in one industrial plant into final product within the same or in another industrial plant, and also the health effect of spread of fly ash. The book offers ultimately the cost-benefit implications of utilization of fly ash in the context of selected industrial plants." (jacket)
