ABSTRACT

A laboratory procedure was developed and verified for stabilizing salt produced by an industrial waste incinerator. This procedure is based on salt stabilization by means of an asphalt binder. Conductivity values and relevant anion contents in leachates of stabilized waste with an asphalt coating were near zero. The pH value of these leachates equaled the pH value of the water used, so that the stabilized waste salt represented inert material, posing no environmental hazard. An unusually significant reduction in the volume of processed salt occurred during stabilization. After compacting under 10.4 MPa pressure, the volume of test specimens was almost 55% smaller than the initial salt volume. In practice, this would mean more than a doubling of landfill waste capacity. Volume reduction was successfully explained by means of a mathematical model.
