Abstract

This is a research on hazardous characteristics and potentials of bottom ash from 9 municipal solid waste combustors(200 tons/day) of Korea by the test methods of leaching and content. The leaching method was performed by Waste Test Method of Korea. In case of the content method, mercury was determined by thermal decomposition amalgamation atomic absorption spectrometer, other 9 elemets including Pb, which were pretreated by U.S.EPA SW-846 3050B method, were determined by flame atomic absorption spectrometer(FAAS) or inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometer(ICP-AES). Results of leaching test showed that Pb and Cu was main pollutants. It was interested that the distribution rate of metals' contents of each combustors was similar and the rank of concentration was Fe>Zn>Cu>Mn>Pb>Cr>As>Cd>Hg.
