Preliminary Studies of Slag and Ash from Incinerated Municipal Waste for Prospective Applications

The assessment of the possibility using incinerated municipal waste, which is classified as non-hazardous, a priority European zero waste strategy. aim this work was to identify properties slag and ash develop simple, targeted way post-process waste. material analyzed by microscopic methods in terms composition internal structure. Gas water permeability tests were carried out. Slag texture obtained densimetric methods. BCR sequential extraction out assess impacts on soil environment. It shown that individual fractions characterized different compositions pore contents. increase layer density resulted porosity reduction ash, had significant impact permeability. index from 0.92 0.98 filtration coefficient two orders magnitude. results showed division into important for prospective applications With very low negligible leachability heavy metals, characteristics predispose them support needs specialized hydrotechnical construction.
