Screening Untreated Municipal Solid Waste Incineration Fly Ash for Use in Cement-Based Materials – Chemical and Physical Properties
Concrete manufacturing impacts the environment and construction industry sustainability. The impact is reducible by either using less cement or replacing it with secondary cementitious materials (SCMs). Limited potential for further reduction has been identified, due to low SCM availability. Fly ash...

Concrete manufacturing impacts the environment and construction industry sustainability. The impact is reducible by either using less cement or replacing it with secondary cementitious materials (SCMs). Limited potential for further reduction has been identified, due to low SCM availability.

Before implementing MSWI fly ash for use in cement-based materials, its chemical and physical properties should be evaluated.
