Abstract
The present paper deals with need for establishing common protocol for evaluating risk assessment for reuse of coal combustion residues (CCR) in the name of “Leaching Environmental Assessment Framework” (LEAF). The process involved in the industries produces large quantities of by-products, and CCR is one of such wastes which is rarely categorized as hazardous, but it cannot be dumped on the landfill. The current and most accepted tool for environmental evaluation in terms of leaching is toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP) and synthetic precipitation leaching procedure (SPLP). But these tests cannot provide the complete site-specific decision on beneficial reuse of the materials. In this paper, trends of coal combustion residue especially fly ash across world is explained and present different leaching tests available and need for common protocol LEAF is explained with stating its advantage, and disadvantages is explained.
