An Evaluation of Stabilization/Solidification of Fluidized Bed Incinerator Ash (K048 and K051)

Abstract

This report presents the results of testing performed on a stabilized/solidified (S/S) incinerator ash. This study was conducted in support of the US Environmental Protection Agency, Best Demonstrated Available Technology program. The ash samples evaluated in the study were residuals resulting from the incineration of a mixture of dissolved air-flotation float (K048), API separator oily sludge (K051), and a biological sludge. Three S/S processes were evaluated in this study. They included: (1) a cement process; (2) a kiln dust process; and (3) a lime/fly ash process. Physical and leaching characteristics of the S/S waste ash materials were evaluated. Physical characteristics were evaluated using the unconfined compressive-strength test. The waste-leaching characteristics were evaluated using the toxicity characteristic leaching procedure.
