Description:
ARPA-E is interested in receiving Full Applications in support of advancing the beneficiation of MSWI ash into valuable products. The broad objective of the WiX topic is to explore (i) real-time, cost-effective characterization techniques for the MSWI ash output stream, (ii) the feasibility of adding co-feeds to waste pre-combustion, or to the MSWI ash post-combustion to yield a consistent product independent of MSW composition variability, and (iii) cost-competitive technologies for the upcycling of MSWI ash fractions into novel valorized products.
