“…Indeed, special waste management remains an issue of ongoing debate. Stabilization processes, mixing and its use as road construction material or as structural or ceramic material, provide some management solutions for bottom ash [7][8][9], though the disposal of bottom ash at special landfills still remains the most common practice.…”

“…6 Determining safe management alternatives for these type of residues requires extensive characterization. Many studies have shown the presence of such toxic metals as Cd, Pb, Cr, Zn, Hg, and soluble salts, and have studied the leaching behavior of these types of wastes.…”

Municipal Solid Waste incinerator residues produced in two types of facilities were exhaustively characterized: granulometry, mineralogy, chemical composition, leaching behavior, and elemental distribution as a function of particle size. Air Pollution Control (APC) residues coming from a semi-dry scrubber have shown higher solubility than fly ashes originating in an Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP), as well as higher contents in volatile metals (Cd, Hg). Different metal speciation and distribution as a function of particle size have been found in fly ashes (ESP residues) and APC residues. In APC residues, heavy metals (with the exception of Hg) show a parabolic distribution with maxima in the smallest and largest particles, following the same profile as soluble salts. Metal distribution for APC residues exhibits that metals generally are not associated with silicate aluminate matrix. Results show the effect of adding lime to APC residues in metal speciation and distribution. INTRODUCTIONMunicipal Solid Waste Incineration (MSWI) is an integrated waste management system. MSWI offers a reduction in both the mass and volume of waste subjected to final disposal, as well as the possibility of energy recovery; waste mass is reduced approximately 70%, and volume by about 90%, and it provides energy that can be recovered to produce electricity or steam.

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] The resulting blocks, cylinders or tiles are either stored or used as building elements. The potential environmental risk is assessed by one of the numerous 'standardised' leaching tests, reported or suggested in the last decade 8-22 as variations on the "short-term testprocedure" of the American Nuclear Society.…”

Assessment of environmental risks of granular wastes, immobilised in monolithic bodies implies at least three independent, preferably standardised, tests: Weight variations during drying and wetting; leaching with water or dilute acid and determination of the available fraction of the micro-constituent involved. Their accuracy, precision and minimal turn-over time depend on the dimensions of the test specimen and the experimental procedure. They are considered here in relation to the inevitable underlying assumptions and the practical limitation of the turn-over time. Two standard geometries of test aliquots are considered in detail. The use of radioanalysis in the determination of some of the characterising parameters is summarised.
