In this study, the effect of NaOH on the synthesis of mesoporous silica (MS) by using municipal solid-waste incinerator (MSWI) ash slag was investigated. Moreover, the prepared MS was used as a support to evaluate its potential for the recovery of go...

The article presents durability results for cement mortars made with the addition of slag from municipal waste incineration plants as a replacement for natural aggregate. The undertaken durability tests included frost resistance tests and evaluation...

Limitations in natural aggregate resources and the continuous increase in the demand for concrete as a building material, as well as the increase in the production of waste and the problem with its storage were the reasons for attempts to replace the...

In Europe, the use of wastes in the cement and construction industry follows the assumptions of sustainability and the idea of circular economy. At present, it is observed that cement plants introduce wastes to the cement in the form of so-called min...

Geopolymer is a sustainable low-carbon cementitious material that is able to incorporate large amounts of solid waste as precursors or activators. As the proportion of municipal solid waste incineration continues to rise in China, the large-scale gen...

Melting solidification experiments of municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) fly ash were carried out in a high-temperature tube furnace device. An ash fusion temperature (AFT) test, atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), scanning electron microsco...

Global objectives to mitigate climate change in the construction industry have led to increasing geopolymer development as an alternative to carbon-intensive cement. Geopolymers can have similar mechanical properties and a lower carbon footprint. How...

Four industrial wastes, i.e., blast furnace slag, steel slag, desulfurization ash, and phosphoric acid sludge, were used to prepare a low-carbon binder, metallurgical slag-based cementitious material (MSCM). The feasibility of solidification/stabiliz...

New generations of green concretes are often consuming large amounts of industrial waste, as recycled or manufactured aggregates and alternative binders substituting ordinary Portland cement. Among the recycled materials that may be used in civil eng...

Nowadays, budget restrictions for road construction, management, and maintenance require innovative solutions to guarantee the user acceptable service levels respecting environmental requirements. Such goals can be achieved by the re-use of various w...

Municipal solid waste incineration fly ash (MSWI FA) and granulated lead smelting slag (GLSS) are toxic industrial wastes. In the present study, granulated lead smelting slag (GLSS) was pretreated as a geopolymer precursor through the high-energy bal...

In this paper, the mechanical properties of micropowder cement mortar and engineered cementitious composites (ECC), using different processing municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) as a mineral admixture, were investigated. Through the direct bal...

This study investigates the valorization of municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) residues—specifically bottom ash with slag (BA + S) and fly ash (FA)—through alkaline activation in geopolymer and cementitious systems. The research demonstrates t...

The sustainable utilization of solid waste is crucial for environmental protection. This work investigates the fabrication of foamed ceramics from Cr slag and municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) fly ash, focusing on the effects of three inhibit...

Currently, MSWI (municipal solid waste incineration) ashes are predominantly landfilled, although they can have copper contents comparable to those of low-grade ores. Based on a previously published characterization of MSWI-BA, this paper presents in...

This paper analyzes the effective use of a mixture of fly ash (MSWI-FA) and solid waste from flue gas treatment (MSWI-SW), which are by-products of the municipal waste incineration process. MSWI-FA (19 01 13*) and MSWI-SW (19 01 07*) are classified a...

This study demonstrates that synergistic pyrolysis and water-soaking pretreatment transforms municipal solid waste incineration fly ash (MSWI FA) into high-performance alkali-activated materials when combined with ground granulated blast furnace slag...

This study aimed to investigate the recycling opportunities for industrial byproducts and their contribution to innovative concrete manufacturing processes. The attention was mainly focused on municipal solid waste incineration fly ash (MSWI-FA) and...

The mineralization of carbon dioxide offers a way to permanently sequester carbon while producing construction materials, combining the concepts of carbon capture and utilization (CCU) and carbon capture and storage (CSS). However, it is important to...

Alkali-activated materials (AAM) are widely applied in the field of building materials and civil engineering to substitute cement materials. This study used two types of municipal solid waste incineration fly ash (MSWI-FA): grate-firing fly ash (GFFA...
