The validation of converting pyrite ash‐contaminated soil into End‐of‐Waste by the High‐Performance Solidification/Stabilization process application

Abstract

This article is part of the special series "Remtech Europe 2021: International Approaches to Contamination Management." The series documents and advances the current state of the practice, with respect to the sustainable management of contaminated sites, high-resolution techniques for characterization, disrupting technologies for remediation of soil and groundwater, and risk assessment frameworks.

International approaches to contamination management: Introduction to the RemTech Europe 2021 Special Series

“…Remediated materials thus require frameworks and regulations that allow a new definition of waste, in which waste material ceases to be a waste, namely an end‐of‐waste (EoW) designation (Johansson & Forsgren, 2020). The lack of EoW criteria for contaminated soils is discussed in Scanferla et al (2022). They describe dedicated sampling and analytical protocols after a high‐performance solidification/stabilization process applied to pyrite ash‐contaminated soil to verify if treated material complies with the general EoW criteria.…”
