Solidification and stabilization of fly ash from mixed hazardous waste incinerator using ordinary Portland cement.
Fly ash samples from a mixed hazardous waste (MHW) incinerator were subjected to solidification and stabilization (S/S) studies using ordinary Portland cement (OPC) as the binder. Additives (i.e., activated carbon and rice husk) were also homogenized with the binder and waste to determine the effectiveness of the immobilization of heavy metals. The toxicity characteristics leaching procedure (TCLP), Japanese Leaching Test (JLT-13) and the American Nuclear Test 16.1 (modified) ANS 16.1 were used to gauge the leaching of heavy metals from the solidified matrixes. Compressibility strength of the solidified matrixes was also tested using the American Standard Testing Material (ASTM) test procedure for the compressive strength of hydraulic cement mortars.
