title: [Physical properties and metal elutions of the thirteen molten slags produced from incinerated ash].
abstract: In recent years, there have been many attempts to reuse molten slag. Molten slag is obtained through further treatment of incinerated ash produced in the disposal process of garbage or sewage sludge and is used in building materials, such as brick. To establish the safety of such slag, its physical properties and metal contents were investigated in this study. After examining the physical and chemical characteristics of 13 forms of slag made using different methods, no differences were observed and it was judged that reuse is possible. There was little elution of toxic metals in the elution test when water was used as a solvent. On the other hand, when acid and alkali were used, the elution of toxic metals tended to become greater.
