“…It enables examining concentrations of main and trace amounts of elements present in the soil [11,18,19,31,63], bottom sediments [1,3,9,26,29], ashes [50] or minerals [13,17,34]. EDXRF is relatively simple and inexpensive when compared to other methods for qualitative and quantitative analyses of heavy metals.…”

Abstract:The research aim was to determine the long-term impact of the mine waste stored at the coal waste dump Hałda Ruda on the content of heavy metals in the bottom sediments of the Bytomka River. It is a watercourse fl owing along this coal waste dump and has been under its infl uence for over fi fty years. The research also attempted to determine the seasonality of changes (2 years) and mobility of selected elements.The article presents total contents of Cr, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd and Pb in the bottom sediments collected from the Bytomka River. It also focuses on the distribution of these elements in particular geochemical fractions determined with the Tessier's sequential chemical extraction procedure. Total element contents were determined with an EDPXRF (Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence) technique. The extractants of particular Tessier's fractions were determined quantitatively with an ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry) spectrometer. The research results show that the stored waste signifi cantly infl uences the contents of heavy metals in the Bytomka River bottom sediments. The lowest concentration of heavy metals was observed at the B1 spot (above the dump), while the highest one was measured at the B3 spot (below the dump).Sequential chemical extraction of the bottom sediments indicates that the Zn content in the ion-exchange and carbonate fractions diminished within a year. Nevertheless, Zn bound to Fe and Mn oxides acted in the opposite way. Mn, Zn and Pb are the most dangerous elements from the viewpoint of environmental hazards, as their total concentrations were high. Moreover, their high contents were observed in the most mobile (ion-exchange and carbonate) fractions. Extremely toxic Cd was bound to the oxide fraction to the largest extent. Cu was mainly bound to the organic fraction while environmentally hazardous Cr was bound to the residual fraction.

“…Therefore, accurate determination of ash content requires knowledge of the elemental composition of the coal. Numerous experiments have revealed that coal ash comprises compounds such as SiO 9 Many studies propose different approaches to determine both the ash content and calorific value of coal by analyzing the intensities of x-ray fluorescent radiation emitted by specific elements and the characteristic radiation of a source (radioisotope or x-ray tube) scattered on the sample, utilizing techniques [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] such as energy dispersive x-ray fluorescence analysis (EDXRF) and wavelength dispersive x-ray fluorescence analysis (WDXRF).…”

The review provides an overview and description of the results obtained from our coal studies conducted over the past two decades. It places specific emphasis on crucial parameters, including the ash content and calorific value of lignite, which is the main energy source in Mongolia. Through the research, we observed that the ash content of coal can be estimated by analyzing the concentrations of key chemical elements, including Ca, Fe, and Sr. The results of ash content obtained from the x‐ray fluorescence analysis are consistent with the outcomes of chemical analysis. Furthermore, we established an inverse linear correlation between the calorific value of coal and its ash content. Building upon this correlation, we have proposed a method that allows for the direct determination of coal calorific value without relying on calorimetric measurements.

Sugarcane burning during harvest and non-harvest season emits various pollutants like volatile organic compounds (VOCs), alkanes, and PAHs (Polyaromatic hydrocarbons) in the surrounding environment. Among these pollutants, PAHs are of uttermost concern due to their high level of toxicity. Burning of sugarcane bagase in sugar mill results in the production of fly ash. Fly ash is produced as a result of sugarcane bagasse burning in sugar mills. In present study, fly ash that comes out from the sugar mill chimney was collected from Western Uttar Pradesh, India and used for further analysis. High temperature and incomplete combustion inside chimney lead to the formation of PAHs. Extraction of PAHs present in fly ash samples was done by ultrasonication method and was identified with GC-FID (gas chromatography-flame ionization detector). Results exhibit the presence of eight PAHs in fly ash samples where the Benzo(a)pyrene and Naphthalene were found to be in high concentration. Furthermore, we have evaluated toxic effects of fly ash and Polyaromatic hydrocarbons (Standard of BaP & Nap) through different methods i.e. MTT, ROS and comet assay. Significant reduction (p < 0.001) in cell viability was noted in cells treated with fly ash as compared to control. Fly ash samples were also found to induce significant oxidative stress in HeLa cells, which ultimately causes DNA damage. Therefore, it may be concluded that the fly ash samples are toxic to the environment due to the presence of PAHs. Hence, the present study plays an important role in determining the harmful effects of PAHs and their source of occurrence.
