Article Abstract
The leaching behavior of six typical toxic metals (Pb, Zn, Cr, Cd, Cu and Ni) from raw and chemically stabilized (phosphate and chelating agent) municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) fly ash were investigated using citric acid. Leaching tests indicated that phosphate stabilization can effectively decrease the leaching of Zn, Cd and Cr; whereas chelating agent stabilization shows a strong ability to lower the release of Pb, Cd and Cu, but instead increases the solubility of Zn and Cr at low pH conditions. Sequential extraction results suggested that the leaching of Pb, Zn and Cd in both the stabilized MSWI fly ash samples led to the decrease in Fe/Mn oxide fraction and the increase in exchangeable and carbonate fractions. The leaching of Cr was due to the decrease in exchangeable, carbonate and Fe/Mn oxide fractions in phosphate-stabilized and chelating agent-stabilized MSWI fly ash. The leaching of Cu in both stabilized MSWI fly ash was greatly ascribed to the decrease in Fe/Mn oxide and oxidisable fractions. Moreover, predicted curves by geochemical model indicated that both stabilized MSWI fly ash have the risk of releasing toxic metals under strong acid environment.

Pollution from past industrial activities can remain unnoticed for years or even decades because the pollutant has only recently gained attention or been identified by measurements. Modeling the emission history of pollution is essential for estimating population exposure and apportioning potential liability among stakeholders. This paper proposes a novel approach for reconstructing the history of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin (PCDD) and polychlorinated dibenzofuran (PCDF) pollution from municipal solid waste incinerators (MSWIs) with unknown past emissions.

The disposal of municipal solid waste incineration fly ashes (MSWI-FA) is complicated by soluble chlorides, which increase the risk of heavy metals (HMs) leaching toxicity and hinder the further use of remediated MSWI-FA. In this study, the self-assembly potentiality of magnesium oxychloride cement (MOC) in geopolymerization was explored and utilized to enhance the solidification/stabilization (S/S) of the MSWI-FA. The MOC-self-assembled geopolymerization kinetics can be suitably described by the JMAK model.

Municipal solid waste incineration fly ash (MSWI FA) is recognized as a hazardous solid waste due to its enrichment in toxic heavy metals and high leaching potential. This review systematically summarizes the current understanding of heavy metal occurrence in MSWI FA and associated environmental risks. Solidification and stabilization methods, such as cement-based curing and chemical immobilization, are widely applied due to their cost-effectiveness and operability, though their long-term stability and recovery potential remain limited.

Municipal Solid Waste Incineration (MSWI) plants pose significant environmental concerns, generating solid by-products, namely Fly Ash (FA) and Bottom Ash (BA). These MSWI residues have received attention due to the presence of valuable elements, Potentially Toxic Elements (PTE), and other contaminants. Radionuclide detection is also critical because they can concentrate in incineration ashes to pose a radiological hazard.

The preparation of solidified materials using biochar (BC) and MSWI fly ash (FA) promotes pollutant remediation and the resource utilization of solid waste. However, studies on the quantitative risk assessment of BC-enhanced MSWI FA/bottom ash (BA)-coal FA-based cementitious materials (CBFM) and the synchronous immobilization mechanisms of heavy metals and anions are still limited. This study used multiple leaching methods and the RAC/OPTI model to evaluate the leaching behavior and environmental risk of MSWI FA/CBFM under various pH conditions.
