The determination of heavy metals in coal ash

Sejingkat Power Corporation Sdn. Bhd., is a coal-fired power which is located near Bako generates energy and electricity. Combustion of coals in coal-fired power plant generates huge amounts of ashes. When coal is burnt, it produces coal ash into the environment. Ash samples were collected from the...
