Estimation of valuable metals content in coal combustion products of the Russian Far East by INAA method with radionuclide neutron source

Abstract

Ash and slag waste from coal combustion as a source of obtaining valuable metals are considered. The results of the study of ash and slag waste from CHPPs of Primorye, coal combustion products of the Amur region and some products of ash and slag waste fractionation for gold and scandium content are presented. The concentration levels of these metals for preliminary assessment of their possible industrial significance were studied by instrumental neutron activation analysis.
