A combined kinetic and thermodynamic approach for interpreting the complex interactions during chloride volatilization of heavy metals in municipal solid waste fly ash.This study elucidated complex interactions during the chloride volatilization of heavy metals (Pb, Cu, Zn, Mn, and Cr) from municipal solid waste fly ash by combining thermodynamic and kinetic approaches.  Further thermodynamic calculation revealed that the components contained in fly ash greatly influenced the chlorination of each heavy metal.  Furthermore, these findings could guide the realization of a recycling-oriented society in terms of reducing waste disposal.
