In accordance with an embodiment, a method for producing an aggregate is disclosed comprising mixing incinerator bottom ash (“IBA”) from a municipal solid waste incinerator and pulverized fuel ash (“PFA”) from coal combustion. The method further comprises agglomerating the mixture, such as by pelletizing, and pyroprocessing the agglomerates, such as by sintering or vitrification, to form the aggregate. The addition of PFA to IBA has been found to facilitate production of lightweight and normal weight aggregates. Preferably, the IBA or the mixture of IBA and PFA is wet milled prior to agglomerating. A preferred proportion of IBA to PFA is 40%/60%. The agglomerates may be coated with an inorganic material to create a surface layer on the aggregate. Organic material may be included in the mixture to increase the porosity of the aggregate. A lightweight sintered aggregate comprising IBA and PFA and an aggregate comprising IBA and PFA are also disclosed.

I claim: 1. A method for producing a lightweight aggregate, comprising: mixing incinerator bottom ash (“IBA”) from a municipal solid waste incinerator and pulverized fuel ash (“PFA”) from coal combustion; agglomerating the mixture to form an agglomerate; and pyroprocessing the agglomerate to a temperature to expand the agglomerate to form a lightweight aggregate having pores and a relative density of less than 2 grams per cubic centimeter. 2. The method of claim 1, comprising: wet milling the IBA. 3. The method of claim 1, comprising: agglomerating the mixture by pelletizing. 4. The method of claim 1, further comprising: wet milling the IBA; removing water from the IBA after wet milling; and using at least some of the removed water during agglomerating. 5. The method of claim 1, further comprising: wet milling the IBA; removing water from the IBA after wet milling; quenching the pyroprocessed agglomerate; and using at least some of the removed water during quenching. 6. The method of claim 1, further comprising: controlling one or more selected properties of the aggregate based, at least in part, on a proportion of the IBA to the PFA and the pyroprocessing temperature. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein a selected property is density, the method comprising: controlling density of the aggregate based, at least in part, on the proportion and the temperature. 8. The method of claim 6, wherein a selected property is water absorption, the method comprising: controlling water absorption of the aggregate based, at least in part, on the proportion and the temperature. 9. The method of claim 1, further comprising: mixing an organic material with the mixture of the IBA and the PFA; and controlling one or more selected properties of the aggregate based, at least in part, on a proportion of organic material in the mixture. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein a selected property is density, the method comprising: controlling density of the aggregate, based at least in part, on the proportion of organic material in the mixture. 11. The method of claim 9, wherein a selected property is water absorption, the method comprising: controlling water absorption of the aggregate based, at least in part, on the proportion of organic material in the mixture. 12. The method of claim 1, comprising: pyroprocessing the agglomerate to cause volatilization and entrapment of volatized gases. 13. The method of claim 1, comprising: pyroprocessing the agglomerate in a rotary kiln. 14. The method of claim 1, further comprising: reducing the particle size of the IBA prior to mixing. 15. The method of claim 1, further comprising: mixing the IBA and the PFA with an organic material. 16. The method of claim 1, comprising: mixing from 30% to 70% IBA by dry weight of the mixture with from 70% to 30% PFA by dry weight of the mixture pulverized fuel ash (“PFA”). 17. The method of claim 1, comprising: agglomerating the mixture by extrusion. 18. The method of claim 1, wherein the lightweight aggregate has a water absorption of 10% or less. 19. The method of claim 1, comprising: pyroprocessing the agglomerate to a temperature of from about 1,000° C. to about 1,300° C. 20. The method of claim 1, comprising: pyroprocessing the agglomerate to a temperature to expand and vitrify the agglomerate. 21. The method of claim 1, comprising: pyroprocessing the agglomerate to a temperature to form a glassy, crystalline, expanded lightweight aggregate. 22. A method for producing a lightweight aggregate, comprising: mixing incinerator bottom ash (“IBA”) from a municipal solid waste incinerator and pulverized fuel ash (“PFA”) from coal combustion; agglomerating the mixture to form an agglomerate; and pyroprocessing the agglomerate to form a lightweight aggregate having pores and a relative density of less than 2 grams per cubic centimeter and a water absorption of 10% or less. 23. The method of claim 22, comprising: pyroprocessing the agglomerate to a temperature to expand the agglomerate. 24. The method of claim 22, further comprising: controlling one or more selected properties of the aggregate based, at least in part, on a proportion of the IBA to the PFA and the pyroprocessing temperature. 25. The method of claim 22, comprising: pyroprocessing the agglomerate in a rotary kiln. 26. The method of claim 22, further comprising: mixing the IBA and the PFA with an organic material.
