We are trying to add nanoparticle power waste material in sustainable concrete, so we want to see any leaching effect of this material. Need suggestions and discussion from experts.
You need an adequate leaching test (this chapter provides some good descriptions of leaching tests: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0166111697800209#:~:text=Leaching%20tests%20are%20done%20to,approximate%20the%20actual%20disposal%20site ) along with an adequate test procedure that can accurately analyze the leachates. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) can be a good candidate. It depends on what is the chemical and elemental nature of the "nanoparticle power waste material" in question. There are a plethora of nanoparticles that have been produced, varying from radioactive and extremely hazardous to much less harmful nanoparticles.
