Glass-Ceramics for Construction Materials Synthesized from Municipal Incinerator Residue

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...

Long Term Chemical Leaching from Incinerator Residue

This paper presents another type of bin which has successfully been used on material hard to dis­ charge from a storage bin, including industrial waste. I would like to point out that the Eastman Kodak Co. has handled material as low in density as lib/cu. ft. I would suggest that a paper follow this one giving more details. The information given in this paper whets the appetite for more informa...

Environmental Burden of Disease from Municipal Solid Waste Incinerator

Use of vitrified urban incinerator waste as raw material for production of sintered glass - ceramics

The crystallisation behaviour of vitrified industrial waste (fly ash from domiciliary solid waste incineration) was examined by differential thermal analysis, X-ray diffractometry and scanning electron microscopy. It was demonstrated that powder processing route was required to transform the vitrified industrial waste into glass-ceramics products. Time-Temperature-Transformation (TTT) diagrams ...

Environmental assessment of incinerator residue utilisation.

Incineration ashes may be treated either as a waste to be dumped in landfill, or as a resource that is suitable for re-use. In order to choose the best management scenario, knowledge is needed on the potential environmental impact that may be expected, including not only local, but also regional and global impact. In this study, A life cycle assessment (LCA) based approach was outlined for envi...
