Short summary
This study focus on minor metallic elements distribution in waste incineration bottom ashes (BAs) using chemical microanalysis methods to study the BAs resource potential. BAs contained from 8.8 wt % to 23.1 wt % of metallic elements concentrated mostly in metallic fragments and metallic inclusions (usually composed of more than one metal). Their recovery might be possible, however, due to physical properties of metallic components, advanced methods of BAs processing need to be applied.
