Circulating fluidized bed (CFB) and stoker grate are the two major municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) technologies currently being used in China. In this work, the hydrothermal stabilization of heavy metals in fly ash collected from two types of MSWI plants is investigated. The components and...
