Hazardous Waste Incineration Ashes and Their Utilization

  • Reference work entry
Encyclopedia of Sustainability Science and Technology

Definition of the Subject

This chapter deals with hazardous solid residues , usually called ashes , from waste incineration. What is to be considered hazardous in this context shows geographical and temporal variability. Currently, hazardous waste incineration ashes are mostly dumped, or disposed of, in landfills or ash lagoons. There is however also substantial, but geographically variable, utilization of such ashes, mostly in construction, including civil engineering (e.g., in roads and embankments) and there have been proposals for wider utilization. Much research has been done on better and wider utilization of hazardous waste incineration ashes, but little thereof has found its way to actual commercial practice. At the end of the chapter, the matter will be raised whether current waste incineration can be...
