The paper presents composition of 5 bottom ash samples obtained from 3 Czech MSWI plants. Analyzed components were glass, ceramics, unburned organics, magnetic particles, non-ferrous metals and mineral fraction. The effects of bottom ash particle size on composition and distribution of above mentioned components were observed. Variation of bottom ash composition with respect to MSWI plant locality was found, particularly for glass and metals content. These results, together with additional analyses observing seasonal variations in the composition, will be used to evaluate the material recovery potential of the bottom ashes with the perspective to recycle valuable components of the bottom ash.
