    Long-term leaching of As, Cd, Mo, Pb, and Zn from coal fly ash in column test
    2019 - LANGE, C.N.; FLUES, M.; HIROMOTO, G.; BOSCOV, M.E.G.; CAMARGO, I.M.C.
    Globally, millions of tons of coal fly ash (CFA) are generated per year, and the majority of this material is usually stored in stock piles or landfills, and in a long-term, it can be an environmental hazard if rainwater infiltrates the ashes. Long-term leaching studies of Brazilian ashes are scarce. The purpose of this study was to evaluate arsenic, cadmium, molybdenum, lead, and zinc leaching behavior from a Brazilian CFA by a column experiment designed to simulate field conditions: slightly acid rain considering seasonality of precipitation and temperature for a long-term leaching period (336 days). All elements were leached from CFA, except lead. Elements leaching behavior was influenced by leaching time, leaching volume, and temperature. Higher leachability of As and Cd from CFA during warm and wet season was observed. Results indicate a potential risk to soil and groundwater, since ashes are usually stored in uncovered fields on power plants vicinity.

    Toxic elements mobility in coal and ashes of Figueira coal power plant, Brazil
    2013 - FLUES, M.; SATO, I.M.; SCAPIN, M.A.; COTRIM, M.E.B.; CAMARGO, I.M.C.
    During operation, the coal power plant produces solid waste (bottom and fly ash) and uncontrolled ashes disposal could lead to environmental contamination. Major and trace elements (Al, Fe, Ti, Ca, Mg, As, Cd, Cr, Co, Cu, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, Zn, V) were determined in coal and ashes of the power plant of Figueira (Brazil) and their mobility evaluated by total and available metal concentration ratio. The total concentration was determined by WDXRF technique and the available concentration (after extraction with EDTA) by ICPOES technique. The results showed a high total concentration for As and Zn (average 270 and 391 mg kg1 ) in coal and (average 974 and 1330 mg kg1 ) in fly ashes. The high mobility of As (>70%), followed by Mo (>55%) and next by Mn, Zn, Cd, Pb (30–5%) in ash can cause environmental impact. Arsenic could be considered the most critical element to be leached from ashes.
