Description
The study being carried out is focused on the environmental pollution of the leached toxic elements from the waste disposal of coal power plants and covered the following works: 1. Analysis the presence of toxic elements and the natural radioactivity in coal, ash and the ash in a waste disposal area. 2. Leaching study. 3. Analysis the presence of a toxic heavy metals and natural radionuclides in the environmental samples in the vicinity of the waste disposal area. Prediction on the transport model of the leached elements in the local ecosystem and its long-term impact. Analysis of the heavy elements were carried by INAA technique and the total alpha and beta activity in the samples were analyzed by GM-flow detector. ''A standard leaching test for combustion residues (BEOP-31)'', developed by The Netherlands Energy Research Foundation was adopted in the leaching study and used in the prediction of environmental impact of leached heavy metals from the waste. 2 refs, 9 figs, 4 tabs
