The main objective of the project is the evaluation of the existing perspectives for the treatment of bottom ash deriving from waste incineration, with particular attention to fine residual fraction, and the analysis of their performance considering bottom ash deriving from different incineration plants in Europe. The results of this evaluation will be included in the elaboration of actions and technologies that can be applied in order to go beyond the state of the art, to meet the standards required for secondary raw materials in different industrial sectors and to contribute to the development of end-of-life criteria for bottom ash. The final goal of the project is the conversion of bottom ash into secondary raw materials having a market value, a legal use and without hazards for the human health and the environment.
