20.500.12556/DiRROS-23438 Municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) bottom ash-blended cementitious materials performance, challenges, and potential solutions The recycling of municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) bottom ash as a supplementary cementitious material (SCM) has attracted global attention, driven by the increasing availability of this by-product and the demand for sustainable SCMs to lower CO2 emissions from cement production. Currently, the widespread use of MSWI bottom ash in the cement industry is hindered by the lack of guidelines to regulate material composition, optimize pretreatment processes, and specify mix design requirements. This review compiles and analyzes literature data on mix design, microstructural evolution, fresh properties, mechanical properties, durability, leaching risks, and environmental impacts of MSWI bottom ash-blended cement pastes, mortars, and concretes. The analysis aims to assess the influence of the pretreatment and physicochemical properties of bottom ash on the microstructure and performance of blended cementitious materials. The Ash Impact Strength Index (AISI) is introduced to quantify the effects of various factors on compressive strength, enabling direct comparison across different studies. Based on the statistical analysis of the 28-day AISI, the key quality requirements for MSWI bottom ash as an SCM are proposed, along with the optimal mix design. This work provides valuable insights and practical guidance to support the integration of bottom ash into the cement industry. ash ash-blended cementitious materials performance pepel cementni materiali s pepeli lastnosti true false true CRC Press Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik © 2025 the author(s) Neznano 2025-08-29 14:27:11 2025-08-29 14:49:10 2025-10-24 03:54:21 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 str. 1506-1533 iss. 19 Vol. 55 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2025-08-23 620.1/.2 1547-6537 10.1080/10643389.2025.2548287 246703363 https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/epdf/10.1080/10643389.2025.2548287 1 7dc18a69-84d3-11f0-9bb7-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=34658 RAZ_Chen_Boyu_2025.pdf RAZ_Chen_Boyu_2025.pdf 1 28C6BBBE0492DB88F1DED4865723B0FB 9f0ebc0a02f0eb359278e9e848a1c37ea0651d202ec6b0ffc916a64845843bee 98ef24b5-84d4-11f0-9bb7-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=34659 RAZ_Chen_Boyu_2025.docx RAZ_Chen_Boyu_2025.docx 1 5E8EF19E6987E679E0AB7220E44970A0 230a088ab08a270e8a33c39c6e42abc7e47eee8746b068cee774474a8c63f8a5 71202b56-84d5-11f0-9bb7-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=34660 Zavod za gradbeništvo Slovenije 0 0 0
