In 2005 an urban solid waste incinerator (SWI) was commissioned in Bilbao (Basque Country, Spain). Serum and urine samples were collected from 95 and 107 volunteers in 2006 and 2008 respectively, of which 62 were repeats from the same individuals. Blood lead levels (BPb) were determined, as were the concentrations of cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr) and mercury (Hg) in urine (UCd, UCr and UHg). The town...
Fly ashes from municipal solid waste incinerator were melted using a micro-scale furnace at 1100 to 1400°C. The behaviors of several heavy metals had been systematically measured by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES). This study investigated leaching characteristics of melted slag. Experimental results showed that the fixation rates of Cr, Ni, Cu and As in melted samples...
An investigation was conducted on the characteristics and leaching behavior of heavy metals from municipal solid wastes incineration (MSWI) fly ash in Chongqing, China. Results indicated that the average particle size of the fly ash was 36.4 μm, the large particles were formed mainly by small particles' adsorption or aggregation. The total content of the main heavy metals was about 1.04% of the fly...
