Combustion Residues

Combustion Residues Current, Novel and Renewable Applications Millions of tons of combustion residues, in particular fly ash and municipal waste bottom ash, are generated every year in the world requiring utilization or disposal. With the increasing limitation on disposal to landfill because of environmental, economic and space requirements new products and markets are required. The traditional uses in cement and concrete production and road construction are not sufficient to cope with the increasing volume of residues. In addition, the introduction of mixed fuels for power generation and new combustion technologies coupled with the increasing use of incineration for municipal wastes create new challenges for the use of these ‘secondary raw materials?. This volume on novel products derived from the new generation of combustion ashes: shows how combustion residues, as well as being used in the above traditional outlets, can also be useful source of...
