Abstract
This research investigated the application of municipal solid waste incineration fly ash (MSWIFA), municipal solid waste incineration bottom ash (MSWIBA), and construction waste residue (CWR) as raw materials for the comprehensive conversion into municipal solid waste ceramics employing the SiO2-Al2O3-CaO-MgO (8wt.%) phase diagram. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of the addition of MSWIFA and sintering temperature on important ceramics properties, including linear shrinkage, water absorption, sintering range, and flexural strength. Additionally, relationships were established among these physical parameters using Pearson's correlation coefficient. The thermal behavior of the mixture was analyzed through automatic slag melting point tester and TG-DSC techniques. Furthermore, characterization of the crystalline phase transition and microstructure of sintered samples was performed by XRD, Factsage, and SEM. The results showed that both the addition of MSWIFA and the sintering temperature significantly influenced the crystal phase composition of the sintered ceramics. Moreover, the addition of MSWIFA and the sintering temperature had a significant influence on the pore structure of the ceramics. These ceramics exhibited exceptional properties, such as the extremely low water absorption rate of 0.08% and the remarkable flexural strength of 124.78 MPa. Ceramics performance indicators were far higher than the requirements of China's national standard GB/T4100-2015. The sintering range had the capability to attain 30 °C, guaranteeing the feasibility of practical manufacturing processes. Furthermore, leaching concentration tests conducted on additive-free ceramic samples reveal a low risk of heavy metal contamination, as the heavy metals were effectively solidified within the crystalline and amorphous phases of the ceramics. The comprehensive utilization of MSWIFA, MSWIBA, and CWR for the production of fully solid waste ceramics not only yields cost reduction benefits but also promotes efficient utilization, presenting a feasible and highly promising approach to sustainable waste management.
期刊介绍：
Ceramics International covers the science of advanced ceramic materials. The journal encourages contributions that demonstrate how an understanding of the basic chemical and physical phenomena may direct materials design and stimulate ideas for new or improved processing techniques, in order to obtain materials with desired structural features and properties.
Ceramics International covers oxide and non-oxide ceramics, functional glasses, glass ceramics, amorphous inorganic non-metallic materials (and their combinations with metal and organic materials), in the form of particulates, dense or porous bodies, thin/thick films and laminated, graded and composite structures. Process related topics such as ceramic-ceramic joints or joining ceramics with dissimilar materials, as well as surface finishing and conditioning are also covered. Besides traditional processing techniques, manufacturing routes of interest include innovative procedures benefiting from externally applied stresses, electromagnetic fields and energetic beams, as well as top-down and self-assembly nanotechnology approaches. In addition, the journal welcomes submissions on bio-inspired and bio-enabled materials designs, experimentally validated multi scale modelling and simulation for materials design, and the use of the most advanced chemical and physical characterization techniques of structure, properties and behaviour.
Technologically relevant low-dimensional systems are a particular focus of Ceramics International. These include 0, 1 and 2-D nanomaterials (also covering CNTs, graphene and related materials, and diamond-like carbons), their nanocomposites, as well as nano-hybrids and hierarchical multifunctional nanostructures that might integrate molecular, biological and electronic components.
