Cenospheres are known for their lightweight nature, which makes them float on water, thus the name "floating beads".
Cenospheres are small, hollow, spherical particles with a low density. They are typically composed of alumina (Al₂O₃) and silica (SiO₂), which are similar to the main components of kaolin. These spheres are a by - product of the combustion of coal in power plants. During the combustion process, the organic matter in coal burns away, while the inorganic components melt and form these spherical structures due to surface tension.
In the industrial realm, cenospheres are highly prized. In plastic manufacturing, they are incorporated as lightweight fillers. For instance, in automotive plastic components, cenospheres reduce the overall weight of parts without significantly sacrificing their strength, contributing to fuel - efficient vehicles. In the construction industry, they are utilized in producing lightweight concrete, enhancing the energy - efficiency of buildings. In refractory materials, their thermal insulation property proves invaluable in high - temperature applications such as furnaces, ensuring better heat retention and reduced energy consumption. Their unique characteristics render cenospheres an indispensable material in diverse manufacturing and construction sectors.
