Solid Waste Incinerator

Take the Shenzhen Nanshan Municipal solid waste incinerator (MSWI) as the object, in total 18 ambient air samples were got. The study analyzed the distribution characteristics of ambient air heavy metals (Cu, Cd, Pb, Cr) and As in the surroundings of the MSWI. The EPA Risk Assessment Guidance for Superfund (RAGS) was used to assess the exposure risk. The results demonstrated that the Pb and Cd value in the surroundings of the MSWI were in the accept level according to the Ambient Air Quality Standards (GB3095-2012); The risk assessment showed that the carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks via inhalation exposure in the sorrounding of the MSWI were in the accessible levels.

This study aims to evaluate the potential of incorporating fly ash (FA) and municipal solid waste incinerator bottom ash (MIBA) as a partial substitute of cement in the production of self-compacting concrete mixes through an experimental campaign in which four replacement levels (i.e., 10% FA + 20% MIBA, 20% FA + 10% MIBA, 20% FA + 40% MIBA and 40% FA + 20% MIBA, apart from the reference concrete) were considered. Compressive and tensile strengths, Young’s modulus, ultra-sonic pulse velocity, shrinkage, water absorption by immersion, chloride diffusion coefficient and electrical resistivity were evaluated for all concrete mixes. The results showed a considerable decline in both mechanical and durability-related performances of self-compacting concrete with 60% of substitution by MIBA mainly due to the aluminium corrosion chemical reaction. However, workability properties were not significantly affected, exhibiting values similar to those of the control mix.
