Abstract

The municipal solid waste incinerator (MSWI) fly ash was classified by particle sizes: >0.27mm, 0.27-0.15mm, 0.15-0.11mm, <0.11mm; the speciation distribution of heavy metals in the size-classified fractions were analyzed by the sequential extraction experiment, then the effect of different particle size on the speciation distribution of heavy metals in fly ash was discussed. It was concluded that: Heavy metals associated with carbonate was the main speciation of Cu, Pb, Cd and Zn in all size-classified fly ash, especially, the Cadmium bonded to carbonates percentage was 94.4%. Nevertheless, the residual form was the main speciation of Ni and its percentage was about 50%. The high concentration of Cd and Pb ouccured in fly ash with particle size <0.11mm & >0.27mm. However, there was significant quantity of Ni in fly ash with particle size between 0.11mm and 0.15mm.
