A cascade impactor separated fly-ash particles into seven size fractions with the following equivalent aerodynamic diameters: 0.38; 0.88; 1.9; 2.9; 6.3; 10.0 μm. Cumulative size-specific emission factors were determined. In order to obtain some information on the trace elements distribution in the fly-ash size-fraction concentration of Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Zr, Sr, Pb, Br was determined in the samples collected. The elemental analysis was performed by Proton Induced X-Ray Emission Spectroscopy. Small mass loadings obtained from the cascade impactor, which are often insufficient for other analytical methods, are well within the sensitivity range of the PIXE/RBS analysis. The results of the research concerning one of the domestic power stations arc presented as an example.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={PIXE/RBS Method In Analysis of Granulometrlc Composition of Dust Emittedfromdry-Bottomboilers Burningpulverisedcoal}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/123497/PDF/7_AE_VOL_30_1_2004_Staisz_Oznaczanie.pdf}, keywords={air pollutants, coal combustion, trace clements, particulate matter, size distribution}, }
