[A].

it is abrasive to the coal pulveriser (ie.g. ball mill) and the combustion chamber.

[B].

the ash in molten condition gets absorbed in the pores of the refractory lining of the furnace and causes its spalling due to different co-efficient of expansion/contraction of the refractory and the ash.
