Description
|
The material was collected at the electrostatic precipitator of a pulverised coal-fired power station in Belgium. The temperature of the fly ash at the collection port was about 80°C.
The collection time was approximately 2 minutes. Particles with a size larger than 10 µm were removed from the batch, using air classification techniques. To ensure homogeneity the sample was then mixed in a Nauta mixer. After riffling the end result was 2500 samples each of approximately 5 g. Later the material was repacked and put into ampoules.
