Beneficial reuse of coal combustion byproducts, e.g., in highway construction, requires an evaluation of metal leaching potential. Metal leaching from high-carbon fly ash in soil mixes typical of highway embankment construction was evaluated using different soil-fly ash mixtures and three common leaching tests: the water leach test (WLT), the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP), a...

Two types of leaching tests were performed on the bottom ash from municipal solid waste incinerators. A short-term batch test specified by the America Nuclear Society (ANS) and long-term column tests with acetic acid (pH 5.2) as leaching solution were used to evaluate copper leachability. The Cu leaching after the 5-d ANS test is about 1% of the original Cu content of 5300 mg/kg. Upon addition ...

most of electricity is generated by thermal power plants in iran. shahid rajaee thermal power plant consists of four 250mw natural gas and fuel oil burning units that is located at 100 km west off tehran. as a result of fuel oil burning in winter time, boilers air heaters are washed and cleaned frequently. the wastewater originating from air heater washing contains suspended solids and differen...

Leaching mechanism of zinc oxide is important not only to understand zinc smelting process but also to develop of new zinc recycling process. Recycling of zinc is mainly done by treatment of electric arc furnace dust (EAF dust). In Japan pyro metallurgical process is enhanced for EAF dust treatment, however only zinc oxide can be recovered by pyro metallurgical process. Hydro metallurgical proc...

solidified samples of fuel oil combustion bottom ash with two sets of ordinary portland cement (opc) and pozzolan added opc were investigated with three sets of chemical leaching tests. toxicity characteristic leaching test (tclp) results classified waste material and its solidification products as hazardous. although ni and cr have over-leached, but their close examination with sequential chem...

The present study deals with the development of standardized laboratory methods to predict depletion of biocides more accurately under service condition. Laboratory test was conducted with EN 252 standard and non-standard pine as well as spruce specimens to determine leaching of chromium and copper from stakes pressure impregnated with commercial copperand chromium-containing preservative. Two ...

Background: Laboratory leaching tests on treated wood were performed during a European robustness study in the framework of the validation of a tank leaching test procedure that has been proposed for construction products in order to determine the potential release of dangerous substances which can be transferred to soil and groundwater. The release of substances has to be determined also for m...

Title of Document: EVALUATION OF LEACHING PROTOCOLS FOR THE TESTING OF COAL COMBUSTION BYPRODUCTS Jason Louis Becker, Master of Science, 2010 Directed By: Associate Professor Ahmet Aydilek, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering Beneficial reuse of coal combustion byproducts requires an evaluation of metal leaching potential. Reuse of high carbon fly ash in highway embankment constru...

Recent studies have generated conflicting data regarding the bioaccumulation and toxicity of leachates from preservative-treated wood. Due to the scale of the wood preserving industry, timber treated with the most common preservative, chromated copper arsenate (CCA), may form a significant source of metals in the aquatic environment. The existing literature on leaching of CCA is reviewed, and t...

In the present study, the feasibility to use phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) to develop a biological leaching process of rare earth elements (REE) from monazite-bearing ore was determined. To predict the REE leaching capacity of bacteria, the phosphate solubilizing abilities of 10 species of PSB were determined by halo zone formation on Reyes minimal agar media supplemented with bromo cre...
