Leaching behaviour of selected trace elements in chemically weathered alkaline fly ash

TLDR
In this paper, the weathered residues retrieved after fly ash leaching were analyzed for major constituents by atomic absorption spectrophotometry and trace elements by instrumental neutron activation analysis, and the characteristics of the residues ranged from highly leached acidified material, from which many constituent elements had been mobilized, to minimally leached alkaline material containing accumulations of newly formed secondary minerals.

Mobility of trace elements from coal and combustion wastes

TL;DR: In this paper, the mobility of > 30 trace elements from four Spanish coals was investigated using sequential extraction procedures, and the total leachable fractions were obtained by comparing the total trace element content in the bulk coal samples with the extractable content.

Leachability of elements from sub-bituminous coal fly ash from India.

TL;DR: It was found that Cd, Co, Cr and Ni did not leach from the ash while Cu and Pb concentrations were insignificant in the leachate regardless of liquid to solid (L/S) ratio.
