Study of the content of rare and rare earth elements in ash and slag waste of the Kemerovo state district power plant

Abstract

In the context of restrictions due to the sanctions imposed, a key factor in the country's development is the development of new Russian high-tech materials and their production technologies. The study of ash and slag waste from the Kemerovo State District Power Plant was carried out in this work using the methods of inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). It has been established that matrix elements make up the predominant share of ash and slag waste. Rare and rare earth elements in terms of their content are classified as trace elements, however, some of them either have commercial values, or are close to it.
