Municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) fly ash (FA) is a hazardous waste produced during the incineration of municipal solid waste, posing a risk of heavy metal leaching and threatening the environment. Therefore, the harmless treatment of MSWI FA has become a crucial issue in environmental safety treatment. This study utilized blast furnace slag, FA, and MSWI FA to prepare composite alkali-activated cementitious materials for the solidification and stabilization of heavy metals in MSWI FA.

In this study, solidification/stabilization (S/S) of COPR was carried out by using blast furnace slag (BFS) and fly ash (FA) to prepare alkali-activated cementitious materials (AACM). The influence of different factors (water glass modulus, liquid-solid ratio, alkali-solid content and curing temperature) on compressive strength was investigated by single-factor experiment.

Therefore, ascorbic acid (AA) and blast furnace slag (BFS) have been used to detoxify and solidify COPR. On this basis, environmental stability experiments with high temperature and freeze-thaw cycles were carried out to explore the stability performance of a solidified body with 40% COPR.
