SOLIDIFICATION & STABILIZATION

Application Description

As Solidification & Stabilization continue to provide a primary method of remediation, active control technologies must become less complex, easier to use, and broader in range. CETCO provides solutions that cover a wide variety of heavy metals and organics in a large pH range, in order to meet these increasingly complex requirements.

Solidification & Stabilization refers to the process that encapsulates or reacts in order to immobilize contaminates and reduce leachability in contaminated materials.

Problems that exist with traditional methods

• Reduced performance in high and low pH lechates
• Heavy metals can escape the solidification/stabilization process
• Longer process times decrease productivity
• Cost of materials

CETCO Offers

• Individual product formulations optimized for wide pH ranges allow for increased compliance.
• CETCO products’ strong ion exchange capability allow for the capture of many heavy metals.
• High absorption capacities and fast absorption rates result in higher productivity due to time and inventory savings.
• Traditional agents, such as fly ash, are not as efficient without CETCO additives thereby raising process costs.

Products

• Organoclay^® F based media may be mixed in-situ to stabilize organic laden soils and semi-solids.
• Organoclay^® MRM, a specifically designed Mercury and Arsenic removal media, can be used in soil solidification/stabilization applications as an additive to cement-based treatment.
• Sorbond® absorbents improve inorganic waste stabilization and solidification over wide pH ranges, and increase the ability to pass both Paint Filler Liquids Testing and Toxicity Characteristic Leach Procedure Tests. Sorbond media can be applied either ex-situ or in-situ as a soil sealant or stabilizing agent.
• Quik-Solid® granular high performance super-absorbent media rapidly absorbs and retains large volumes of fresh aqueous matter. Therefore, this highly efficient absorbing material reduces
