Development of Eco-Mortars with the Incorporation of Municipal Solid Wastes Incineration Ash.

The cement sector is the second largest contributor to anthropogenic CO emissions, and several efforts have been made to reduce its environmental impact. One alternative that has gained interest in recent years involves the use of municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) bottom ash (BA) as clinker/cement replacement. This paper studies the application of MSWI BA in three different ways: (i) aggregate (0 to 100 / %), (ii) partial binder substitute (0 to 30 / %), and (iii) filler (5 / %).
