Medical wastes in Malaysia are incinerated with the ash disposed into landfills. We studied alternative treatments of medical waste incineration fly ash by solidification/ stabilization (S/S) using three types of cement: OPC, MSC and GGBS. The effect of additives - activated carbon (Ac) and rice husk (Rh) on metal retention was also studied. Metal leaching was quantified using TCLP, JLT-13 and ANS 16.1 (modified). Compressibility strength was measured by ASTM (Compressive Strength of Hydraulic Cement Mortars). Ash contained high concentrations of Al, Ti, Fe, Zn, Cr, Fe, Pb and Cu and most of these elements leached heavily if not treated. TCLP and JLT-13 quantification showed all cement types prevented metal leaching. Solidification with Ac and Rh respectively further reduced leached metals by 10 and 20%, resapectively. ANS 16.1 (modified) showed leach rates between 10-4 and 70 cm/day. Leachability Index rates exceeded 6.0, indicating low leaching. Compressive strength increased as cement loading and curing days increased. OPC showed higher metal retention efficiency and compressive strength. Estimated costs for S/S treatment are higher than current disposal costs. However, S/S products could be used as raw materials for construction.

This paper presents an overview of generation and composition of waste generated from the flood that hit Malaysia from December 2014 to January 2015, particularly in Kelantan. This study recorded that during the flood event, the most abundant waste generated was wood (44%) and concrete (29%), which belong to the construction and demolition wastes category. As for waste generated within the affected area, Kuala Krai recorded the highest amount of waste during the flood which totaled 30,000 tonnes which is almost the daily generation rate in Malaysia. Values of recyclables estimated from the flood waste stream was calculated to be almost RM7 million, yet was not tapped at all due to its high contamination with other flood waste namely mud and putrescible wastes. This study concluded that flood waste generated in Kelantan is highly heterogeneous in nature but predominantly construction and demolition waste, which carried significant economic value.
