Metal-containing plant incineration ash (MPIA), which was the by-product for metal extraction from soil by phytoextraction process, contains various kinds of heavy metal that have post potential risk to the environment. This study investigated the leaching efficiency and metal redistribution of MPIA using organic acid as leaching agents. The MPIA before and after leaching was characterized using the toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCPL) test, X-ray diffraction, scanning electronic microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The results showed that all tested organic acids resulted in the dissolution of metals, especially 1 mol L⁻¹ citric acid leaching achieved for the dissolution efficiency of 84% Mn, 87.01% Cd, 66.97% Zn, and 55.83% Pb. During leaching progress, the synergetic of chelation and acid soluble action accelerated the metal release and redistribution, and the dissolution of Mn, Zn, Pb, and Cd fit best to the shrinking core model of chemical control. Meanwhile, the leaching residue reached the regulatory standard. Thus, organic acid leaching may be a feasible strategy for detoxification of MPIA.
