The sludge was characterised according to chemical composition and heavy metal contents. Leaching of PAHs from sludge in dynamic conditions was also done with lizymetric columns used to simulate the real conditions during the storage of wastes. The changes or PAHs concentration in sludge stored under various lights conditions were also compared (daylight and darkness). A periodic extraction method with cyclohexane was used to select PAHs from samples. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with fluorescent detector was used to analyse PAHs. Six PAHs listed by WHO were analysed (fluoranthene Fl, benzo(b)fluoranthene BbF, benzo(k)fluoranthene BkF, benzo(a)pyrene BaP, benzo(ghi)perylene BghiP and indeno(l ,2,3-cd)pyrene IP).}, type={Artykuł}, title={Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in Sludge from a Sewage Treatment Plant of a Steelwork}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/123881/PDF/11_AE_VOL_28_3_2002_Popenda_Wielopierscieniowe.pdf}, keywords={polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), extraction, industrial wastes, sludges, contamination, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)}, }
