This research presents physicochemical and leaching properties of coal ashes (FA, BA and FA + BA) from a Malaysian power plant. The physicochemical (X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM)) and leaching properties (toxicity characteristic leaching (TCLP) and synthetic precipitation leaching (SPLP) procedures) of ash samples were determined. Heavy metals like lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu) and arsenic (As) were quantified using atomic absorption spectrometer (AAS). Leaching properties were found to complied to the standard guidelines for heavy metals. Further investigation on leaching properties is recommended for construction industry applications. © 2021 Elsevier B.V. date: 2021 publisher: Elsevier B.V. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85101835968&doi=10.1016%2fj.cplett.2021.138420&partnerID=40&md5=a12df5ff6788ea5304575b426466b987 id_number: 10.1016/j.cplett.2021.138420 full_text_status: none publication: Chemical Physics Letters volume: 769 refereed: TRUE issn: 00092614 citation: Abd Manan, T.S.B. and Beddu, S. and Mohamad, D. and Mohd Kamal, N.L. and Wan Mohtar, W.H.M. and Khan, T. and Jusoh, H. and Sarwono, A. and Ali, M.M. and Che Muda, Z. and Mohamed Nazri, F. and Isa, M.H. and Ghanim, A.A.J. and Ahmad, A. and Wan Rasdi, N. and Basri, N.A.N.
