Determination of mercury content in hard coal and fly ash using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy coupled with chemical analysis

The objective of the work was testing the suitability of X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy with X-ray microanalysis (SEM/EDS-Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy) for qualitative assessment of mercury present in coals and furnace wastes (slag, ash). Such information is essenti...
