| Popis: | In this work, removal of heavy metals (Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd, and Pb) from fly ash has been studied using acid leaching and wet oxidation methods. In parallel, microwave-assisted acid digestion was applied for determination of pseudo-total concentrations of heavy metals to estimate the leaching efficiency. Multivariate statistics (Pearson correlation, principal component analysis, and hierarchical cluster analysis) have shown two dominant groups of elements, depending on their characteristics and affinity towards the ash solid phase. Thus, Cr, Zn, Mn, Co, and Ni belong to the group I, while Pb, As, Cd, and Cu belong to the group II. It was demonstrated that the wet oxidation method was more suitable than acid leaching since the reduction in metal concentration was 30 to 75 % compared to 12 to 25 % obtained by acid digestion. The influence of fly ash treatment on the residue characteristics was investigated by X-ray diffractometry and scanning electron microscopy. The analyses revealed surface and structure changes of fly ash after the wet oxidation treatment. Overall, wet oxidation could be an appropriate treatment for heavy metal removal from fly ash, providing a material that could be further used, thus reducing the risk of pollution caused by the disposal of coal combustion fly ash. |
