Original Abstract

Bottom ash (BA) from municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) contains valuable components such as ferrous (Fe) and non-ferrous (NFe) metals. Metal-free mineral fraction can be used in building industry. In the Czech Republic NFe metals separation is performed only at one MSWI plant. At the other two plants only Fe scrap is separated. To study the possibilities of BA treatment it was necessary to obtain data about its composition. We found material composition of the BA samples: 10 – 24 % glass, 2 – 4 % ceramics and porcelain, 12 – 17 % magnetic fraction, 1.1 – 4.5 % Fe scrap, 1.3 a 2.4 % NFe metals, 40 – 70 % residual fraction with particles under 2 mm. The amounts of components were also studied with respect to the granulometry. The results showed differences in composition of BA coming from different MSWI plants. For that reason, effect of MSWI plant collecting area on the BA composition was investigated. Economic potential for metals recovery was outlined based on the results.
