Characteristics, treatment and utilization of residues form municipal waste incineration

摘要

Beneficial utilization of residues from municipal solid solid waste incineration is an important objective for integrated waste manage- ment in many jurisdictions. When residues are to be used as an aggregate substitute in construction applications, the release of constituents of concern to soils and water through leaching is an important environmental consideration. In this paper, residue characteristics that control constituent leaching and testing approaches of evaluating leaching are discussed. Quality control and potential improvement in case of beneficial application are addressed.
