Phosphorus recovery from incineration ash of phosphorus rich waste streams KU Leuven

Jo Van Caneghem, Bart Blanpain
Sustainable Materials Processing and Recycling (SeMPeR)

Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient for all living organisms. Currently, P used in fertilizers and animal feed is largely extracted from non-renewable phosphate rock of which reserves are depleting. The European Union (EU) considers both P and phosphate rock as critical raw materials because of their strategic importance and the economic dependence on a limited number of non-EU suppliers. In this regard, it is important to ...

ASH-CEM: Novel Cements & building Materials from Incineration Ashes Ghent University

Nele De Belie
Department of Structural Engineering and Building Materials

ASH-CEM is focused on the development of a new type of binder, both as a cement carbonation based, by making use of treated MSWI burning of axles (MSWI: Municipal Solid Waste Incinerators-Fixed municipal / municipal waste incinerators). These binders aim on the one hand on precast or ready-mixed concrete for structural applications in reinforced concrete or not on the basis of cement, and on the other hand on the earth-moist concrete press ...

Recovery of phosphorous from thermal inciniration residues KU Leuven

Giuseppe Granata
Sustainable Materials Processing and Recycling (SeMPeR)
Phosphorous is defined by the EU as a critical material. Accordingly, research actions related to enhance its circular economy are highly encouraged. This research will address the development of a technology to recover phosphorous from thermal inciniration residues and in particular from thermally incinirated chicken manure. The extraction of phosphorous from the incinirated residue will be studied and optimized in terms of ...

Valorization of Municipal Solid Waste Incinerator Bottom Ash by Microwave Irradiation and Alkali Activation KU Leuven

Yiannis Pontikes
Surface and Interface Engineered Materials (SIEM), Sustainable Materials Processing and Recycling (SeMPeR)

Municipal solid waste incinerator bottom ash (BA) is a waste that results from the incineration of municipal solid waste, for which valorization has proved to be challenging. In the current research, BA was subjected to a purification technique through microwave vitrification, in order to be used as a precursor for alkali activated materials. Prior to realising a microwave process, the ability of the material to absorb microwave ...
