Abstract

The application of Municipal Solid Waste Incineration (MSWI) fly ash in asphalt mixtures is an efficient way to utilize fly ash. The feasibility of applying various kinds of dechlorinated fly ash in asphalt mixtures was comprehensively discussed in the study. The effects of types and amounts of dechlorinated fly ash on the performances of prepared asphalt mixtures were explored. Additionally, their environmental risks and economic values were further evaluated. The water absorption coefficient and porosity of fly ash-asphalt mixtures were respectively in the ranges of 0.15-0.5% and 3-4%, which met the application requirements of asphalt. The replacement of Raw Fly Ash (RFA) and Dechlorinated Fly Ash (DFA) improved Marshall stability, split strength, and Tensile Strength Ratio (TSR) of asphalt mixtures. DFA realized the more significant improvements. The leaching concentrations of heavy metals in all the prepared asphalt mixtures were lower than the detection limit, indicating that there was no risk of leaching toxicity.
