Comprehensive assessment of precious metal concentration, distribution, and recovery potential in municipal solid waste incineration residues from northern Vietnam.

ABSTRACT: The incineration process of municipal solid waste produces residues which serve as valuable secondary resources for extracting precious metals including Ag, Au, Pt, Pd, and Rh. The research delivers the initial full dataset about metal concentrations and distribution and recovery potential in three residue types which include fine particulate matter (PM₁₀), and fly ash (FA), and bottom ash (BA) from incineration facilities in northern Vietnam. The analysis of all samples occurred through ICP-MS to determine the metal content. Scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX) was used to characterize particle morphology and elemental associations in the samples. Statistical correlation analysis was applied to identify relationships among met
