In this study, ceramic foams were prepared from domestic waste incineration fly ash. The physical and mechanical properties of ceramic foams were studied systematically. The bulk density, open porosity, water absorption rate was 3.04 g/cm 3 , 1.01 %, and 4.04 %, respectively. Especially, the flexural strength was 20.63 MPa, the thermal conductivity was 0.2721 W/(m K) (25 °C) and the heavy metal leaching concentration was 0.5442 mg/L (Pb). By analyzing the thermal phase transition of sintering process for ceramic foams, the thermal phase transi...
