Description:
This report presents the results of a treatability study of rotary kiln incineration of a synthetic "Superfund soil" bearing a wide range of chemical contaminants typically occurring at Superfund sites. This surrogate soil is referred to as a synthetic analytical reference matrix (SARM), and was composed of clay, sand, silt, topsoil, and gravel. Two concentrations of contaminants were added to this material to produce SARM I and SARM II; volatile and semivolatile organics (3000 ppm in SARM II and 30,000 ppm in SARM I), and metals (1000 ppm in SARM I and II).
