Potentially toxic elements in bottom ash from hazardous waste incinerators: an integrated approach to assess the potential release in relation to solid-phase characteristics KU Leuven
Understanding the chemical and mineralogical characteristics of bottom ash (BA) containing Potentially Toxic Elements (PTEs, e.g., As, Cd, Co, Cu, Cr, Mo, Ni, Pb and Zn) is necessary because it provides information to the potential environmental impacts and possible management options. In this study, we used an integrated approach, combining solid phase characterization [by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Field Emission Gun Electron Probe Micro ...
