The aim of this work is the optimization of sinter-crystallization regime of a glassceramic from a municipal solid waste incineratior (MSWI) bottom ash. The parent waste was melted at 1400oC, milled below 75 $\mu$m and the obtained glass powders were pressed at 100 MPa. The optimal temperature for sinter-crystallization was estimated by DTA, dilatometry and XRD. Subsequently, the degrees of sintering, obtained at different heating rates (between 2 and 40oC/min) and 1 h step at 950oC were estimated by the linear sh...

The possibility to obtain new eco-compatible building materials by milling, pressing and direct sintering of secondary raw materials (SRM) derived from a physical/mechanical treatment of municipal solid waste incinerator (MSWI) bottom ashes is discussed. The chemical compositions and particle size distribution of used SRM press powders were evaluated using XRF analysis and by laser granulometer, respectively. The thermal and densification behaviours were studied by non-isothermal DTA-TG and dilatometric techniques...

The possibility to obtain a low cost petrurgical material by direct sintering of alkaline basaltic tuffs is demonstrated. The parent rock was milled for 10-15 min and the resulting powder was pressed at 100 MPa. The sintering and the phase formation in air and inert atmospheres were studied by dilatometry and DTA, respectively. The phase composition of obtained samples was evaluated by XRD whereas the stricture was highlighted in details by SEM. Some mechanical and thermal properties of the new materials were meas...
