Abstract

HEEP COPYRIGHT: BIOL ABS. Organic compounds recovered from fly ash collected by an electostatic precipitator (ESP) and a Venturi wet scrubber (WS) at the Four Corners Coal-Fired Power Station at Fruitland, NM (USA), were analyzed. Organic constituents in extracts of solid waste included large numbers of aliphatic and aromatic compounds. A series of normal C15-C30 paraffins was found in the aliphatic fractions. The aromatic compounds were of 1, 2, 3 and 4 rings; no compounds containing and gt; 4 rings were identified. Studies on recovery of radiolabeled naphthalene and benzo(a)pyrene added to scrubber fly ash indicated that polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons containing and gt; 4 rings were poorly recovered. Comparison of organic constituents in extracts of fly ash from the WS and the ESP showed that ESP extracts contained more compounds in greater quantities. The types and quantities of organic compounds recovered were not expected to present any environmental hazard.
