Analytical characterization of municipal solid waste incinerator fly ash Part II

The synergy of the micro FT-IR (Fourier Transform-Infrared) and SEM-EDX (Sc anning Electron Microscopy-Energy Dispersive X-ray) techniques has been sho wn to be particularly helpful and effective for the characterization of ino rganic compounds in fly ashes. The experimental data obtained by these tech niques have been interpreted in comparison with those of other techniques, The presence of calcium carbonate, some sulfates, ammonium nitrate, calcium hydrogen phosphate, some chlorides, some oxides and aluminium silicates ha ve been verified.
