Description:
This treatability study presents the results of field investigations at the Sapp Battery site in Florida, an abandoned battery recycling operation. The site is estimated to contain 14,300 cubic yards of soils with lead levels in excess of 1,000 ppm. The soils in the immediate vicinity of the site are a mixture of brown sand and yellow-brown sandy loam to a depth of five feet. A detailed QA/QC plan and analytical protocols is described in the second volume to the study. A sampling program and fixation study was conducted to evaluate cementitious and pozzolanic cementation technologies for leachate minimization potential. This abstract will focus on the fixation study and the ability of the processes evaluated to immobilize heavy metals.
