Characterization and mechanical removal of metallic aluminum (Al) embedded in weathered municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) bottom ash for application as supplementary cementitious material

Municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) bottom ash, due to its high mineral content, presents great potential as supplementary cementitious material (SCM). Weathering, also known as aging, is a treatment process commonly employed in waste management to minimize the risk of heavy metal leaching from MSWI bottom ash. Using weathered MSWI...

Characterization, pre-treatment, and potential applications of fine MSWI bottom ash as a supplementary cementitious material

With the development of waste recovery techniques, previous research has revealed that coarse fractions of municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) bottom ash (BA) after proper treatment could be applied in the construction sector, while the fines are seldom recovered in practice and normally landfilled. This study explores the potential...
