MATERIAL CHARACTERISATION OF THE MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE INCINERATOR ASH
Abstract: This report
presents preliminary results
of materials characterisation on
the municipal solid
waste incinerator (MSWI) ash,
namely bottom ash (BA) and fly ash (FA). Our work focuses on the application of
state-of-the-art x-ray diffraction
full profile analysis
techniques for mineralogical
phase analysis. Additionally,
we characterised the samples
by Scanning Electron
Microscopy (SEM) with
energy-dispersive
spectrometry (EDS) to
study the particle morphology and surfaces of the raw
material. The bulk elemental compositions of the ash were determined by X-ray fluorescence
(XRF). The mineralogical phase assemblage of MSWI bottom ash as well as of the
fly ash is apparently unstable and reactive. Within three months significant
changes in phase composition have been observed.
