Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Analyzing short term leaching behavior of pyrolyzed plastic waste is the prerequisite to utilize pyrolysis ash as a construction material. Environmental characteristics of pyrolysis ash were reported in this paper. Chemical and mineralogical characterizations of the pyrolyzed sample were determined using X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Leaching concentrations of Al, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Sr, Cd, Ba, Pb were analyzed using Japanese leaching test method (Japan environment agency notification no.13: JLT-13). The mobility of trace elements was explained by XRF and XRD results that showed SiO2 domination in the ash. Furthermore, the results of the leaching experiments indicated that aluminum and iron were effectively stabilized within the structure. Overall, the concentrations of the selected elements in the final leachates were below the regulatory limits for landfilling. These findings are significant for exploring the potential use of waste materials in geotechnical engineering applications.
