Abstract Scope |
Waste to Energy (WTE) ash was incorporated into synthetic foamed ceramics materials called engineered cellular magmatics (ECMs). Two methods for WTE ash inclusion were explored: 1) Additions of varying concentrations of fly and/or bottom ash into existing ECM recipes utilizing post-consumer recycled waste glass, and 2) direct conversion of WTE ash (fly and/or bottom) into ECM. In both tracts, the primary goal was to develop a product that meets or exceeds predetermined specifications and criteria for entry into geotechnical fill/aggregate markets. Products meeting these specifications were also tested and further optimized for use as supplementary cementitious materials. |
