    The research evaluates how various binders affect the stabilization of municipal solid waste incineration fly ash (MSWI FA). Findings indicate that while cement-based solidification/stabilization techniques can immobilize heavy metals, they are less effective in reducing the mobility of chlorides and sulfates. Pre-treatment washing is recommended to enhance ash stability for potential reuse in construction materials.
