The increased application of incineration of municipal solid waste (MSW) has resulted in concerns over air pollution from these incinerators and potential secondary pollution from leaching of toxic components from incinerator fly ash. These concerns have lead to promulgation of emission control requirements and the subsequent wide spread application of spray dryer absorption (SDA) flue gas cleaning systems to MSW incinerators. Concern has remained over waste disposal of the flue gas cleaning residues because of the presence of potentially toxic trace metals in this residue. The authors discuss investigations examining different disposal alternatives when tested by various leaching procedures. Mixtures of SDA residues, cement, blast furnace slag, pozzonalic fly ash, and lime have been characterized with respect to permeability, durability, and leachability. This paper presents results of these investigations.
