Aluminium Recovery from Incineration and Gasification Bottom Ashes

Jitendra Sharma, Vandana Sakhre, Sanjeev Jain

Abstract


The recovery of ferrous and nonferrous metals from the bottom ashes is a common practice, both for the environmental advantages of their recycle and to avoid problems of swelling and expansion that metals can cause when bottom ashes are reused in concrete production or in road construction. This paper focuses on metal recovery from bottom ashes produced in municipal solid waste (MSW) incinerators, with a particular focus on aluminium. A forecasting model was developed in order to evaluate the quantity of aluminium scraps recoverable from the bottom ashes.
