“…Lanoir et al (1997) also determined the physical and chemical characteristics of automobile shredder residues. Yasuda et al (1994) determined the hazardous heavy metal contents of dusts in the air of a working room of an RRF and focused primarily on the health impact of workers in the facility. However, there have been few studies on heavy metal contents and the leachability of IR from municipal RRFs.…”

The heavy metal leachability and contents of incombustible residues (IR) generated from municipal resource recovery facilities were investigated. It was found that IR from residential bulky waste have both a higher heavy metals content and heavy metals leachability than IR from incombustible residential waste. Further, eluate con‐ centrations for lead from some IR samples were as high as those from typical municipal solid waste (MSW) fly ash. Leaching experiments using four lysimeters were performed. It was found that lead concentrations in leachate from the lysimeters containing only IR were very high, although leachate concentrations from those lysimeters containing mixtures of IR and MSW bottom ash decreased more rapidly. These findings suggest that codisposal of IR with bottom ash could significantly decrease the leachability of lead.

In order to improve resource recovery and treatment systems for municipal solid waste, a detailed investigation was conducted on noncombustible/bulky waste treatment processes both pre-and postenactment of the electric appliances recycling act. A composition analysis of shredded noncombustible/bulky waste (12 times ; 60 samples in total) was carried out by manual selection in order to estimate the material balance. It was understood from this that resource recovery of electric appliances has largely been improved, with the recovery of glass and plastics, etc. being the main factor. Moreover, about one-eighth of the noncombustible materials found in the incinerator (i. e. batteries) originated from noncombustible/bulky wastes. In addition to improving noncombustible/bulky waste treatment systems, it is also necessary to develop strategies for reducing the amount of noncombustible materials being mixed into combustible waste systems.
