Abstract: | The treatment of organically contaminated industrial wastes by cement-based stabilization/solidification has, in the past, been restricted by the detrimental effect of organic compounds on cement hydration. This work investigates the use of organophilic clays as adsorbents for the organic components of industrial wastes prior to conventional cement-based solidification. Three industrial wastes containing between 2–12% organic carbon and trace heavy metal contamination were treated with a quaternary ammonium salt exchanged clay. The organic component of all three wastes was well adsorbed by the clay. Solidification of the waste/clay mixes produced a monolithic mass with adequate strength and very low leaching of either the organic compounds or the metals. This study has shown that organophilic clays can act as successful adsorbents for the organic contaminants of industrial wastes and enable them to be treated by cement-based solidification. |
