Abstract
Abstract: Fly ash, a byproduct of coal-fired power plants, is entirely inorganic and inert, making it unfit for life. In Korba, fly ash is deposited in dykes, which are open embankments. The quest for organic compounds was critical because the humus formation is a revolution in fly ash, and just it will be capable of supporting life forms. This was conducted in the dykes to verify the organic materials source in fly ash, namely, whether they are originated from coal, furnace start-up oil, or animals and plants that grew in the area. Thin layer chromatography and ascending paper chromatography in a liquid medium were used as the method.

Summary
Fly ash is generally made up of quite fine particles, much finer than cement. The vast majority of the particles resemble glass spheres. Being completely dumped in the ash dyke, the fly ash totally inorganic strata would be unsuitable for life This water might take a long time to dry and can develop little pools or puddles on the dykes, leading to the natural process of introducing plant and animal life from out of the region, often known as succession. Shrivastava has already examined the succession of these dykes (2003) It is normal for plants and animals from the dykes' surrounds to make their presence known in the dykes, despite their limited life span. It is apparent that where there was the plantation and animals, their dead parts and excretory contents would have transformed into humus It is unknown if the areas where there was no life included humus or any other organic substance. The most likely assumption is that organic material is developed in areas in which life forms exist
