Abstract

The paper presents leaching results of coal combustion products: fly ashes from the three stages of dust collecting system, slag and slurry from wet flue gas desulphurization. The static leaching method was used at room temperature, at a pH value of 1, 4, 7, 10 and 13 for 10 days. H 2 SO 4 and NaOH were added as extraction media and L/S ratio was set to the value of 10. The highest recovery ratio was attained during leaching at a pH value of 1 for fly ash from the third stage of dust collecting system and slurry.
