As part of the research, concrete mixes containing the addition of bottom ash as well as bottom and fly ash mixtures from the combustion of biomass only were made. The ashes were obtained from the combustion of 80% of wood and 20% of sunflower in a fluidized bed boiler. In the study, the elemental composition of ashes was determined by testing with an XRF X-ray spectrometer. Ashes in the amount of 10, 20 and 30% of the cement mass were used as a substitute for sand for testing concrete samples. During the preparation of concrete mixes, tests of consistency and air content in the mixes were carried out. Concrete samples were tested in terms of e.g. compressive strength, water absorption or frost resistance. The compressive strength of the samples with the addition of bottom ash was lower than the strength of the control samples. The use of a mixture of ashes allowed to improve this property and each of the samples obtained a higher compressive strength than samples without the addition of ash. The addition of ashes significantly improves the frost resistance of concrete, i.e. reduces the decrease in the compressive strength of concrete after frost resistance tests. The absorbability of the samples, regardless of the amount and type of added ash, changed slightly in relation to the control samples.

W ramach badań wykonano mieszanki betonowe zawierające dodatek popiołu dennego oraz mieszanki popiołu dennego i lotnego pochodzących ze spalania wyłącznie biomasy. Popioły powstały ze spalania w kotle fluidalnym 80% drewna oraz 20% słonecznika. W badanich określono skład pierwiastkowy popiołów poprzez badania spektrometrem rentgenowskim XRF. Do badan próbek betonów użyto popiołów w ilości 10, 20 i 30% masy cementu jako zamiennik piasku. Podczas sporządzania mieszanek betonowych wykonano badania konsystencji oraz zawartości powietrza w mieszankach. Próbki betonów badano pod względem m.in. wytrzymałości na ściskanie, nasiąkliwości czy mrozoodporności. Wytrzymałość na ściskanie próbek z dodatkiem popiołu dennego była mniejsza od wytrzymałości próbek kontrolnych zarówno po 7, 28 i 56 dniach dojrzewania. Zastosowanie mieszanki popiołów pozwoliło na poprawienie tej właściwości i każda z próbek uzyskała wyższą wytrzymałość na ściskanie niż próbki bez dodatku popiołu. Z analizy uzyskanych wyników wywnioskować można, że stosowanie takich dodatków w zależności od ich rodzaju oraz ilości dodatku popiołu powoduje, że modyfikowane odpadem betony charakteryzują się zbliżoną lub wyższą wytrzymałością niż beton kontrolny. Dodatek popiołów zdecydowanie poprawia mrozoodporność betonów czyli powoduje zmniejszenie spadku wytrzymałości na ściskanie betonów po badaniach mrozoodporności. Nasiąkliwość próbek niezleżnie od ilości oraz rodzaju dodanego popiołu zmieniała się nieznacznie względem próbek kontrolnych.
