The literature data revealed that fly ash can be utilized for the removal of NOx, SOx, mercury, and other gaseous pollutants from air and other sources. Fly ash can be used as a promising sorbent for the removal of various types of air pollutants; however, further research need to be taken in the laboratory and pilot plant scale. It is also indicated that fly ash contained approximately 10–12% of unburned component and these unburned components may have an important role in their removal capacity.
