Water washing with CO2 bubbling as pretreatment of Melting furnace fly ash (MFA) for recovery of rare metals was investigated. CO2 bubbling which was applied to control pH during water washing decreased the leachg of Pb, Zn, and Cd remarkably. In addition, bubbling process was found to be an effective way to increase the removal rate of chlorine from MFA. Target rare metal elements including Cu, Pb, and Zn were about four times concentrated by water washing.
