The generation of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) has been on a steady increase over the years. Management of MSW will have to be conducted in the face of two critical, and at times contradictory conditions. One is the increasing amount of MSW generated, and the other is the scarcity of, and complexity of regulations involved in, landfill space. As an MSW management option, a resource recovery facility (RDF) provides maximum reduction in the volume of MSW. Incineration of MSW in the RDF facility has the advantage of reducing the volume of MSW by 90% producing an ash residue. However this ash residue contains heavy metals and therefore its disposal signifies one of the reasons why this MSW management option has not been widely accepted. Chemical characterization of the ash residue then is very important as a prelude to its use in engineering.
