Nine different fly and bottom ashes, representing four coal producing areas of the United States were used in leaching experiments for Ca, Mg, Na, K, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, Pb, and Cd and the potential for contamination of ground and surface water supplied by these elements. Both fly ash and bottom ash are formed by the thermal decomposition or dehydration of inorganic impurities in coal and vary with the type of coal used. Many factors affect leachate characteristics such as coal preparation methods, method and efficiency of combustion, method of disposal, particle morphology, and others.
