Description

Coal leachates were prepared by leaching the coals analyzed in Part 1 of this project in solutions having initial pH values ranging from 4 to 8. The concentrations of 30 elements were determined in the coal leachates using INAA. The pH of the leachate solutions was allowed to drift during the course of the experiment. A comparison between the chemical composition of the coal leachates and the final pH of the leachates reveals that the leachates that exhibit the lowest final pH have the greatest potential for producing toxic leachates.
