使用垃圾焚化后的底灰转化而成的建筑材料。

DEFINITION

Noun

A construction material produced from slag or incinerator bottom ash.

 

由来
  • 2019年，新加坡前环境及水源部(Ministry of Environment and Water Resources)宣布制作新生沙的计划。
  • 新生沙的原料为熔渣(slag)，是都市固体废物(municipal solid waste)经气化后形成的一种建筑材料副产品。
  • 熔渣通过一系列的高温气化过程(gasification)，可转化为两种形式的“新生沙”：
  1. 垃圾焚化底灰(incineration bottom ash)，主要用以铺设道路基层和路底基层。
  2. 新骨料(vitrified glass-like slag)，可作为一种建筑材料，取代部分混凝土中的细骨料(fine aggregate)。
  • 淡滨尼(Tampines)是本地首个用新生沙建造邻里设施的市镇。从淡滨尼天地(Our Tampines Hub)通往达鲁古法兰回教堂(Masjid Darul Ghufran)的道路便是以新生沙铺设而成，路段长达105公尺。
  • 新生沙可用以铺设人行道、修路及进行三维打印(3D printing)。
ETYMOLOGY
  • In 2019, the then Ministry of Environment and Water Resources announced the plan to create NEWSand.
  • The main raw material of NEWSand is slag, a byproduct of the gasification of municipal solid waste.
  • Slag can be converted into two types of NEWSand through high-
    temperature gasification:
  1. Incineration bottom ash, mainly used as road base and road sub-base material.
  2. Vitrified glass-like slag, used in construction as a replacement for the fine aggregate in concrete.
  • Tampines is the first town in Singapore to make use of NEWSand. The 105-metre stretch of road between Our Tampines Hub and Masjid Darul Ghufran is paved with NEWSand.
  • NEWSand can be used to pave pedestrian walkways, to repair roads, and in 3D printing.
例句
由垃圾焚烧后剩余底灰制成的“新生沙”，明年中将用于修筑丹那美拉海岸路的一部分路段，参与试验的三家公司将使用约 3000 公吨底灰。（《联合早报》，26/11/2019）
SAMPLE SENTENCE
NEWSand, made from incinerator bottom ash, will be used to build a section of the Tanah Merah Coast Road in the middle of next year. The three companies participating in the trial will use approximately 3,000 tonnes of bottom ash. (Lianhe Zaobao, 26/11/2019)
