In many countries, thermal power stations are releasing huge quantities of Fly ash leads moreenvironmental issues, while disposing. Various efforts have been conducted by researchers to arrive at somealternatives, that are able to significantly reduce high energy consumed and environmental impacts. The cleanertechnologies in concrete production, such as substituting relatively high percentage of cement by fly ash, the use ofother natural pozzolans, development of concrete with recycling or waste materials, This paper deals with theextraction of useful Faujasite type Zeolite, from fly ash, collected at Tuticorin Thermal Power Station, byhydrothermal treatment and also discussed the applications of Zeolite. The product formed is insoluble in water andMineral acids. This is characterized by XRD, FT-IR, and Solid state 27Al NMR.
