Development of a New Reclamation Material by Hazardous Waste Solidification/Stabilization

Abstract:

This paper deals with the possibility of hazardous waste solidification/stabilization (S/S) using a secondary raw material – fly ash from fluidized bed combustion – in order to find and verify a suitable S/S formula and an appropriate way to ensure that the properties of the S/S product will allow its further use in civil engineering as a reclamation material. The aim of this paper is to examine the properties of the S/S product and to assess its impact on the environment. Laboratory testing was focused on screening those properties that may adversely affect the environment during the use of the product on the ground surface. During laboratory testing the S/S product’s properties were verified using leaching tests, unconfined strength testing, ecotoxicological tests and the determination of pollutant content in dry matter. This paper also considers the two-year durability of the S/S product’s properties in order to verify the short-term durability of the S/S matrix.
