Environmental filling materials based on phosphogypsum powder with municipal solid waste incineration ash

Abstract

Abstract A new building filling materials (NBFM) using phosphogypsum and municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) fly ash is prepared in this paper. The effects of MSWI fly ash dosage and MSWI fly ash water washing pretreatment on mechanical properties, setting time, metal leaching, hydration products and microstructure of NBFM are analyzed by a range of experimental studies. The results indicate that the mechanical properties, setting time and the density of micro interface of NBFM are optimal when the MSWI fly ash dosage is 3%. The mechanical properties of NBFM rise and the condensation time and leaching concentration of heavy metals decline after washing the MSWI fly ash. With the increase of the curing age, the metal element leaching of NBFM decreases, and when the curing age is 7 days, the solidification effect of NBFM on most metal elements meets the standard of Chinese code (GB5085.3-2007). The feasibility of MSWI fly ash and phosphogypsum as filling materials for building engineering is verified, and the change of macroscopic properties of NBFM is explained as well.
