Four different ashes from three district heating plants firing biomass were studied with the respect to their potential application as soil fertilizers. Major and trace elements content and some important characteristics of the studied ashes are also presented. Five stage sequential extraction procedure was used for the determination of distribution and speciation of As, Ca, Cd, Cr, Cu, K, Mg, Na, Ni, Pb and Zn in studied ash samples.
Key words: Heavy metals / ashes / biomass / sequential extraction
