Reaction products of metal-free bottom ash from municipal solid wastes incineration with water and with or without lime

Endpoint summary

Additional information

The physical and chemical properties taken into account for the Chemical Safety Assessment are:

Appearance of the substance:	The substance is marketed as slurry (water content up to 60%) or as granular solid (water content up to 25%). The dried form is a solid.
Melting point/freezing point:	The initial freezing point of the marketed form is < 0° C (the substance is dispersed in water). The melting point of the substance (dry fraction) is > 300° C (dry residue of the slurry at 600° C is 39 -40% w/w).
Boiling point:	The initial boiling point of the marketed form is > 100° C (the substance is dispersed in water). The determination of the boiling point of the substance (dry fraction) is not required, because of the high melting point (> 300°C).
Density:	The density of the slurry is 1200 -1600 g/L.
Vapour pressure:	Vapour pressure of the marketed form (acqueous dispersion) is that of water; the determination of the vapour pressure of the substance (dry fraction) is not required, because of the high melting point (> 300°C).
Water solubility:	0.84 g/L (for the substance /dry fraction). The pH of the saturated solution (0.84 g/L) is 12.8.
Viscosity:	10 – 60 cPs (for the slurry)
