The sustainable management of hazardous wastes and contaminated land is a fundamental aim of EU and UK environmental legislation. Stabilisation/solidification technologies have emerged as a cost-effective and fast method for the treatment of certain hazardous wastes and contaminated land and have become widely used. Stabilisation/solidification (S/S) technologies include a wide range of similar processes that involve mixing inorganic cementitious binders, such as Portland cement, into the waste or soil to transform it into a new, solid, non-leachable material. The treated waste product encapsulates potentially hazardous contaminants, reducing contact between the waste and any potential leachant.
