Minerals and Elements from Fly Ash and Bottom Ash as a Source of Secondary Raw Materials

Dear Colleagues,

Large volumes of coal, biomass, and municipal solid waste ashes are generated globally every year. Therefore, the knowledge of the mineralogy and geochemistry of these materials is essential to their valorization and to contributing towards a Circular Economy. This Special Issue represents a cross-disciplinary appeal covering all aspects of fly ash and bottom ash, from their formation to their utilization as a source of secondary raw materials.

We invite researchers to contribute to the Special Issue: “Minerals and Elements from Fly Ash and Bottom Ash as a Source of Secondary Raw Materials”.
