Porous glass-ceramics made from microwave vitrified municipal solid waste incinerator bottom ash

Properties of Concrete with Municipal Solid Waste Incinerator Bottom Ash

The appropriate utilization of Municipal Solid Waste Incineration (MSWI) residues is a worldwide studied topic over the last decades. One of the possibilities is to use MSWI ashes in concrete production, as it is done with coal combustion products. The bottom ash features the most convenient composition for this purpose, and it is available in highest amounts among the MSWI ashes. Untreated bot...

Sintered glass–ceramic from municipal solid waste incinerator ashes

In the present study, the sinter-crystallization behavior of a glass from municipal solid waste incineration ashes was investigated. The crystallization kinetics were estimated by DTA at different heating rates and the formed crystalline phases were evaluated by XRD. The sintering was studied at different heating rates and at different holding temperatures by dilatometry, measuring the % of lin...

Carbon dioxide sequestration in municipal solid waste incinerator (MSWI) bottom ash.

During bottom ash weathering, carbonation under atmospheric conditions induces physico-chemical evolutions leading to the pacification of the material. Fresh bottom ash samples were subjected to an accelerated carbonation using pure CO2. The aim of this work was to quantify the volume of CO2 that could be sequestrated with a view to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and investigate the possibilit...

Environmental Burden of Disease from Municipal Solid Waste Incinerator

Effect of Mass Proportion of Municipal Solid Waste Incinerator Bottom Ash Layer to Municipal Solid Waste Layer on the Cu and Zn Discharge from Landfill

Municipal solid waste incinerator (MSWI) bottom ash is often used as the protection layer for the geomembrane and intermediate layer in the landfill. In this study, three sets of simulated landfills with different mass proportion of MSWI bottom ash layer to municipal solid waste (MSW) layer were operated. Cu and Zn concentrations in the leachates and MSW were monitored to investigate the effect...
