Singapore's Incineration Ash Quality Boosted by Pre-Sorting Waste Streams
The study analyzed incineration ash in Singapore to understand its chemical and physical properties, focusing on heavy metals and unburnt waste. By using specific testing methods, the researchers identified the sources of these components in different waste streams. They also suggested that pre-sorting certain types of waste before incineration could improve the quality of the ash for potential reuse in construction. This research aims to help manage waste more effectively and reduce the need for new landfills in Singapore.
