The objectives of this study are to examine the applicability of waste slurry from soda ash manufacturing industries as a coagulant for the treatment of wastewater containing fine silica particles, and to reduce the cost of wastewater treatment containing silica. Acceptable water quality can be obtained with a little dosing of waste slurry by gelation before the coagulation process so it could be concluded that the waste slurry from soda ash can be used as a coagulant. Based on the results of experiments, the optimum pH of gelation for silica in wastewater was around five and the treatment process with the gelation of silica could reduce the chemical dosage and waste sludge after coagulation. Dewatering and settling characteristics of the floc after coagulation with the waste slurry are better than those of the floc after coagulation with the lime milk only.

Differently from fly ash, the bottom ash produced from thermoelectric power plant has been treated as an industrial waste matter, and almost reclaimed a tract from the sea. If this waste material is applicable to foam concrete as an aggregate owing to its light-weight, however, it may be worthy of environmental preservation by recycling of waste material as well as reducing self-weight of high-rising structure and horizontal forces and deformations of retaining wall subject to soil pressure. This study has an objective of evaluating the effects of application of bottom ash on the mechanical properties of foam concrete. Thus, the ratio of bottom ash to cement was selected as a variable for experiment and the effect was measured in terms of unit weight of concrete, air content, water-cement ratio and compressive strength. It can be observed from experiments that the application ratios have different effects on the material parameters considered in this experiment, thus major relationships between application ratio and each material parameter were finally introduced. The result of this study can be applied to decide a mix design proportion of foam concrete while bottom ash is used as an aggregate of the concrete.

In this study, an accelerated carbonation process was applied to stabilize hazardous heavy metals of industrial solid waste incineration (ISWI) bottom ash and fly ash, and to reduce $CO_2$ emissions. The most commonly used method to stabilize heavy metals is accelerated carbonation using a high water-to-solid ratio including oxidation and carbonation reactions as well as neutralization of the pH, dissolution, and precipitation and sorption. This process has been recognized as having a significant effect on the leaching of heavy metals in alkaline materials such as ISWI ash. The accelerated carbonation process with $CO_2$ absorption was investigated to confirm the leaching behavior of heavy metals contained in ISWI ash including fly and bottom ash. Only the temperature of the chamber at atmospheric pressure was varied and the $CO_2$ concentration was kept constant at 99% while the water-to-solid ratio (L/S) was set at 0.3 and $3.0dm^3/kg$. In the result, the concentration of leached heavy metals and pH value decreased with increasing carbonation reaction time whereas the bottom ash showed no effect. The mechanism of heavy metal-stabilization is supported by two findings during the carbonation reaction. First, the carbonation reaction is sufficient to decrease the pH and to form an insoluble heavy metal-material that contributes to a reduction of the leaching. Second, the adsorbent compound in the bottom ash controls the leaching of heavy metals; the calcite formed by the carbonation reaction has high affinity of heavy metals. In addition, approximately 5 kg/ton and 27 kg/ton $CO_2$ were sequestrated in ISWI bottom ash and fly ash after the carbonation reaction, respectively.

In this study, bottom ash, lightweight aggregate, and Expanded Polystyrene was used to lighten the mortar. In order to compensate the reduction of strength caused by lightening, the waste foundry sand produced as solid waste was substituted for fine aggregate. As the device of reducing the ratio of absorption, the procedure of mixture was altered to check the effectiveness of surface coating of porous lightweight aggregate. It was observed over 170kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ compressive strength at gravity about 1.3, an over 380kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at gravity about 1.7. the maximum strength was occurred when 30% of fine aggregate was replaced was replaced with waste foundry sand, and the ratio of absorption was decreased over 10% by changing the procedure of mixture.

The present main research direction of waste treatment is the development of incineration system for low pollution. Also, heat value of waste is increased because of the rising of living standard, environmental consideration and collection of sorted waste for recycling. Therefore, many researches have been continued for solving ash problem including heavy metals, dioxin problem and high energy efficiency by use of high heat value. This study is described for the facilities of pyrolysis system, pyrolysis-melting system, pyrolysis-gasification melting system.

This investigation aims at the optimum mixing of flexible flowable-fill made of Bottom-ash as an industrial waste. Flowable-fill refer to self-compacted, cementitious material used primarily as a backfill in lieu of compacted fill. The two primary advantages of flowable fill over traditional methods are its ease of placement and the elimination of settlement. Therefore, in difficult compaction areas or areas where settlement is a concern, flowable fill should be considered. This study compares Bottom-ash with fine aggregate in physical character. The mixing design indicates a various mixing-rate.
