ABSTRACT
The chemical states of heavy metals and radioactive Cs were estimated in fly ash sampled at Fukushima prefecture, Japan. Estimating the speciation of incinerator fly ash is important to ensure an appropriate and efficient management of fly ash generated from disaster-related waste. In this study, fly ash collected at a waste incineration facility in Fukushima prefecture was treated using a sequential extraction test. The test results indicated that the solubility behavior of radioactive Cs was similar to that of NaCl and KCl, and approximately 60% of radioactive Cs was included as water-soluble chloride compounds in the fly ash sample. Most heavy metals eluted in three fractions, in the extraction steps for carbonate-bound, free oxide, and bound to organic matter species. The chemical states of elements in the three non-water-soluble fractions and residue showed minimal elution into the environment. Therefore, most heavy metals in the fly ash exhibited minimal elution into the environment.
