Municipal solid waste incinerators (MSWI) produce by products which can be classified as bottom and fly ashes. The bottom ash accounts for 85-90 % of solid product resulting from MSW combustion. The objective of this study was to assess the feasibility of application of municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) bottom ash as a supplementary cementations material for the preparation of blended cement. The used of bottom ash as a research material is caused by substances contained in cement is almost the same with bottom ash. Bottom ash was found to have some reactivity, but without greatly affecting the hydration process of OPC at 10 % replacement with 10% metakaolin is required to be used in the production of concrete in order to improve strength.

Municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) is a major element of modern waste management and produces annually around 5.7 million tonnes of bottom ash (BA) in Germany. In order to save natural resources and protect the environment, utilisable materials need to be recovered from BA. It was the aim of the present study to determine metal and mineral resource potentials of MSWI BA based on a characterisation study of raw and aged BA of the MSWI plant in Kassel (Germany). The BA investigated consisted of 82.2% mineral materials, 16.3% metals, and 1.5% unburnt organic matter. Overall, 12.1% and 3.6% of the MSWI BA were theoretically recoverable as native ferrous (Fe) and non-ferrous (NFe) metals, respectively. Assuming state-of-the-art recovery technology, 10.7% and 2.0% of the BA were actually extractable as Fe and NFe metals. The processed BA, as a mixture, did not comply with current German limit values for use as a construction material mainly due to excessive soluble salt contents. Coarser grain size fractions were less contaminated, resulting in a utilisable potential of less than 30% of the BA as a construction material. Hence, grain-size specific processing routes need to be developed for MSWI BA to fully exploit its mineral resource potential.

In order to study the effect of organic matter on the heavy metals leachability from municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) bottom ash. In the project, the composted sewage sludge (CS) rich in organic matter was mixed with MSWI bottom ash in a certain proportion. e exudation test, determination of the leaching liquid pH, dissolved organic carbon and humus concentration, and the concentration of heavy metals. And the combination of CS and BA in organic compounds and metal content, calculate metal leaching rate. According to the experimental results, analysis of dissolved organic matter and humic acid concentrations and Cu and Cr leaching concentration, showed that when CS mixture ratio of 20%, organic matter and humic substances concentration and Cu and Cr leaching concentrations are highly linear correlation.

Energetic and metallurgic wastes are widely used as Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCM) and aggregates in order to reduce the concrete price and/or enhance its durability and mechanical properties. Ashes generated in process of Municipal Solid Waste Incineration (MSWI) feature certain similarity with conventional SCMs and thus there is a potential to utilize MSWI ashes as concrete admixtures. Unfortunately high variety of MSWI ashes is observed as consequence of differences in incinerated waste composition and also variability of applied combustion and air pollution control technology. Therefore it is necessary to evaluate the applicability of MSWI ashes individually. The present paper deals with influence of MSWI bottom ash from a Czech incineration facility on strength and Young’s modulus of cementitious mortars where the MSWI bottom ash was used as aggregates. Even though the content of ash was as high as 40 % of aggregates dosage the influence on mechanical properties was found to be not very significant. The strength was not lost by MSWI admixing, the Young’s modulus decreased somewhat.

The aim of this study was to find out an application of the municipal waste incineration materials and try to use them as a replacement for the natural ones. MSWI (Municipal Solid Waste Incineration) bottom ash (BA) was used as partial/total replacement of siliceous sand in CEM II based mortar. Three size fractions of BA were used with respect to replace the siliceous sand in corresponding way. There were designed 5 mixtures with increasing replacement of siliceous sand by 25 % each. The water/cement ratio was decided to be taken according to the constant consistence of the mortar. The bulk density, compressive strength and bending strength of the mortars were decreasing with growing content of BA.
