Cenospheres, the high strength, small sized, lightweight, non-porous, free flowing, hollow ceramic spheres produced in coal fired thermal power plants during the burning of coal at very elevated temperatures, find extensive usage across a number of industries owing to their physical properties. Industries such as oil and gas, building, aerospace, automotive and surface coating continue to be some of the leading consumers of cenospheres.
