P. Fermo et al., The analytical characterization of municipal solid waste incinerator fly ash: methods and preliminary results, FRESEN J AN, 365(8), 1999, pp. 666-673
ICP/OES, AES, ETAAS, TXRF, IC, XRPD, XPS, SEM/EDX, FT-IR, Raman, Mossbauer
and ESR have been used to characterize inorganic components in a fly ash sa
mple. It has been possible to determine silicates and aluminium silicates (
gehlenite, gismondine and cabasite) in addition to many inorganic compounds
(halite, sylvite, anhydrite, bassanite, gypsum, syngenite, ettringite, hae
matite, calcite and rutile).
