20.500.12556/DiRROS-19619 Recycling of different incineration ashes in the construction sector perspectives from Slovenia The EU prioritizes transitioning to a circular economy, aiming to boost sustainable resource management through policies promoting recycling and reuse, benefiting both the environment and the economy. Many successful case studies demonstrate using various incineration waste by-products (ashes) as substitutes for natural materials, yielding environmental advantages and showcasing sustainable resource management practices. While extensive literature covers ash characterization and applications, the direct links between the properties of the main components, the amorphous phase, and research findings remain elusive. Analysis predominantly centers on microstructural phase development, influencing mechanical, physical, and chemical properties and guiding research interpretations. Existing standards for ash use primarily address coal-derived fly ash, with SIST EN 13282-2 allowing alternative sources like circulating fluidized bed and paper sludge incineration residues. Yet, beyond this standard, no regulations mandate using different ash types. Nonetheless, the applicability of ashes for the geotechnical composite materials has already been confirmed in the field since numerous geotechnical projects have been carried out in Slovenia. Such composites have been recognized as beneficial practices, and the majority of them also possess legal permission for usage according to the Slovenian Technical Approvals. Given the varying value and complexity of ashes, detailed characterization before use is crucial. Assessing the recycling potential of different ashes requires a precise definition of basic properties such as microstructure, minerals, and chemical composition. Emphasis should be placed on characterizing the hydraulic properties and gaining detailed insights into the amorphous phase, ensuring informed decision-making regarding their recycling processes. waste by-products from incineration processes ashes recycling amorphous phase (latent) hydraulic properties hydration stranski produkti iz procesov sežiga pepeli recikliranje amorfna faza (latentno) hidravlične lastnosti hidratacija true false true MDPI Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik © 2024 by the author.
