Hill, R. STABILIZATION/SOLIDIFICATION OF HAZARDOUS WASTE. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/D-86/028 (NTIS PB86156312).
Description:
In response to the growing interest in stabilization and solidification of hazardous wastes and contaminated soils and sediments, the Land Pollution Control Division of EPA's Hazardous Waste Engineering Research Laboratory has produced a technical handbook on the subject. The handbook provides details of the materials and equipment in common use, and outlines methodologies for applying these techniques to hazardous waste problems. Among the subjects covered are waste and site characterization, laboratory testing and leaching protocols, bench and pilot scale testing, and full-scale operations. Four stabilization/solidification scenarios are presented to illustrate advantages, disadvantages and costs for different mixing techniques.
