Changes in soil chemical composition caused by self‐heating of a coal‐waste dump
The paper presents soil features and chemical composition in a self‐heating coal‐waste dump. The investigations were carried out in the Upper Silesian Coal Basin. A fire zone in which the soil temperature exceeded 50°C was selected for our study. Soil analyses were carried out for three grain sizes – d > 1 mm, 0.063 mm ‐1 ), Zn (127–3283 mg kg ‐1 ), Pb (33.6–1344.7 mg kg ‐1 ), Cu (38.9–101.4 mg kg ‐1 ), and major elements by Fe (14,300–117,400 mg…
