  Hi Ajit
  I think the biggest problems will be fly ash and soot. If it was my decision I would try it anyway. The sulfur seems a bit high and I think the analysis may be inaccurate.

  The biggest problem is the large volume of ash. However this is good silica and has a value.
  The trouble will be to control suspended particle pollution. You may have to set up an efficient flue gas washer and an ash collection and disposal system.

  These things can be done. But What I was thinking is more innovative way of disposing ash. Not disposing, but using it for something productive. If it can be good enough, can we use this silica to produce glass? or something else? We can make cheaper glass, quality, well, you have to say about it.

  Traditionally, tooth powder used to be made using the ash from rice husk. Sand is a far cheaper form of silica. We have to exploit the finer particle size of this ash. It may serve well as a reinforcement in silicone rubber in the place of the more expensive fumed silica used.
