The content of the heavy metals cadmium, zinc, nickel, lead and molybdenum in products and waste coming from fuel processing (originating from power plants and coal mines) was determined using DPV. Samples were digested in a microwave mineralizer in mixtures of HNO3 + HClO4 acids (3:2; 4:2 v/v). The following certified reference materials were used in these investigations: fly ash (CTA-FFA-1), apatite concentrate (CTA-AC-1) and coal (BCR-40).
