Decontamination of municipal waste combustion fly ash. St. Lawrence technologies (in English; French)

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:292059

The management of fly ash from municipal solid waste (MSW) incinerators is an international problem. Because these ashes contain heavy metals such as lead, cadmium and mercury, they are considered hazardous material. The firm Alex Cendre Inc. and the National Scientific Research Institute INRS-EAU have developed a technology to chemically solubilize the metals contained in fly ash to render them usable.
