Abstract

Stabilisation/solidification (S/S) is a remediation technology that relies on the reaction between a reagent and soil to reduce the mobility of contaminants. Immobilisation is achieved by reaction of contaminants with reagents to promote sorption, precipitation or incorporation into crystal lattices, and/or by physically encapsulating the contaminants. This report primarily examines the use of hydraulic binder systems that are usually designed to provide both leaching and physical improvements to the contaminated material.
