Back Scattered Scanning Electron Micrographs of CCU-treated ash cylinders: (Type i) - Mixed wood ash, showing relict-planty structures enveloped by massive carbonated precipitates; (Type ii)- Nut shell-derived ash cemented by interstitial carbonate; (Type iii)- Wood ash, with dispersed, discrete precipitates of carbonate.
