Abstract
Biomass ash is a final by-product from biomass incineration and is being produced in increasing amounts. Ash contains a variety of macronutrients and micronutrients and thus requires an appropriate recycling strategy. This chapter addresses various recycling strategies and technologies, with a particular focus on a smart combination of wastes from different sources for optimising recycling efficiency.
