22、 Introduction Background Amendments to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), enacted through the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984, impose substantial responsibilities on handlers of hazardous waste. in particular, these amendments prohibit the continued land disposal of untr

23、eated hazardous wastes beyond specified dates “unless the Administrator determines that the prohibi- tion . is not required in order to protect human health and the environment for as long as the wastes remain hazardous .“ (RCRA Sections 3004(d)(l), (e)(5), 42 USC 6924(D)(1), (e)(l), and (gl(5). Was

24、tes treated according to treatment standards set by the US. Environ- mental Protection Agency (USEPA) under Section 3004(m) of RCRA are not subject to the prohibitions and may be land disposed. The statute requires USEPA to set “levels or methods of treatment, if any, that substantially dimin- ish t

25、he toxicity of the waste or substantidy reduce the likelihood of migration of hazardous constituents from the waste so that short-term and long-term threats to human health and the environment are minimiz ed.“ (RCRA Sec- tion 3004(m)(l), and 42 USC 6924 (m)91). To expedite the development of treatme

26、nt standards, various deadlines were established for agency action. Further land disposal of a particular group of hazardous wastes is prohibited at certain deadlines if the USEPA has not set treatment standards under RCRA Section 3004(m) for such wastes or deter- mined, based on a case-specified pe

27、tition, that there will be no migration of hazardous constituents from the units for as long as the wastes remain hazard- ous. Additional deadlines result in conditional restrictions on land disposal to take effect if treatment standards have not been promulgated or if a petition has not been grante

28、d. Treatment standards will be established based on Best Demonstrated Avail- able Technology (BDAT) and developed according to RCRA Section 3004(m). USEPA (1986a) defines a technology as best, demonstrated, and available as follows: Chapter 1 Introduction 1 Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproducti

29、on or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-a. Best-if several technologies are available for treating the same (or similar) waste(s), the waste-treatment method that reduces the concentration and/or the migration of contaminants most effectively is considered best. b. Demonstrated-for a

30、 waste-treatment technology to be considered demonstrated, a full-scale facility must be known to be in operation for treating the waste. c. Available-for a waste-treatment technology to be considered available, it must (a) not present a greater total risk than land disposal, (b) be able to be purch

31、ased or licensed from the proprietor if a technology is a proprietary or patented process, and (c) provide substantial treatment. Stabilizationlsolidification (S/S) is one technology that meets the demonstrated and available criteria (USEPA 1986). S/S of hazardous wastes has been proposed as a treat

32、ment method for substantially reducing the likeli- hood of contaminant migration. USEPA has initiated studies to evaluate S/S technology as a BDAT and to develop data to support the establishment of treatment standards. Stabilitat ion/Solid if cat ion S/S is a process that involves the mixing of a h

33、azardous waste with a binder material to enhance the physical and chemical properties of the waste and to chemically bind any free liquid (USEPA 1986). Typically, the binder is a cement, pozzolan, or thermoplastic. Proprietary products may also be added. Often, the S/S process is changed to accommod

34、ate specific wastes. Since completely discussing all possible modifications to an S/S process is not possible, discussions of most S/S processes have to be related directly to generic process types. The performance observed for a specific SIS system may vary widely from its generic type, but the gen

35、eral characteristics of a process and its products are usually similar. Comprehensive general discussions of waste SIS processes are given in Malone and Jones (1979); Malone, Jones, Larson (1980); Iadevaia and Kitchens (1980); and USEPA (1986b). Waste SIS systems that have potential BDAT application

36、s include the foliowing: u. Lime/fly ash pozzolanic processes. 2 6. Pozzolan-portland cement systems. c. Vitnfication. Chapter 1 Introduction Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-COE EL-93-12 FINAL REPORT = 3515749 0559317 939 Lime/fly ash

37、 pozzolanic processes use the finely divided, noncrystalline silica in fly ash and the calcium in lime to produce low-strength cementation. The waste containment is produced by entrapping the waste in the pozzolan concrete matrix (microencapsulation). Metals are also usually converted to less solubl

38、e forms that further inhibit leaching. Pozzolan-portland systems use portland cement and fly ash or other pozzo- lan materials to produce a type of waste/concrete composite. Contaminant migration is reduced by microencapsulation of the contaminants in the concrete matrix. The addition of soluble sil

39、icates to pozzolan-portland systems may accelerate hardening. As with lime/fly ash pozzolonic systems, metals are also converted to less soluble forms in the pozzolan-portland systems. Vitrification is a process whereby hazardous wastes are incorporated into a molten substance utilizing very high te

40、mperatures. The process is carried out by inserting electrodes into a waste mass and passing a high current of elec- tricity through the mass. The high temperature produces a melt; and as the melt cools, contaminants are trapped in the melt. When cooled, the melt fonns a stable noncrystalline solid

41、that resembles obsidian, a very strong glass. Waste of Interest The KO88 spent potliner waste that was evaluated was a bottoms ash from the incineration of wastes produced from the primary reduction of aluminum from the metal smelting industry. The waste was contaminated with metals, cyanides, and f

42、luorides. The waste was coiected in three 5-gal buckets and shipped to the US. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES) under chain of custody by Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), Rockville, MD, the contractor for the Risk Reduction Engineering Laboratory (RREL). The sam

43、ple was obtained from the USEPA Incineration Research Facility in El Dorado, AR. Upon receipt of the samples at WES under chain of custody, the waste was placed in a walk-in cooler at 4 “C for storage until needed for testing. Purpose and Scope The specific objective of the study was to determine if

44、 S/S techniques could be applied to a KO88 spent potliner waste contaminated with metals, cyanides, and fluorides to characterize the effect of S/S on that soil. The physical and chemical properties of the stabilizedholidified waste were evaluated to deter- mine if S/S techniques substantially reduc

45、ed the amount of hazardous page vi. A table of factors for converting non-SI units of measurement to SI units is presented on Chapter 1 Introduction 3 Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-contaminants in the Toxicity Characteristic Leachin

46、g Procedure (TCLP) leach- ates and improved the physical handling properties of the waste. Four binder systems (cement, kiln dust, lime/fly ash, and binder “X) were used to stabilize/solidify the waste. The binder “X“ was sent to WES by Mr. Ron Turner of RREL. The stabilizedholidified waste was cure

47、d, and the physical and chemical properties of the treated samples were evaluated. The unconfined compressive strength (UCS) test was used to measure physical strength, and TCLP was used to assess the leachability of the chemical conta- minants from the stabilized/solidified waste. This report prese

48、nts the methods and test results from the S/S of the waste material. It is not intended to determine nor does it attempt to determine whether S/S is a BDAT for the treatment of the KO88 spent potliner waste. Organization of Report This report is divided into four basic parts: a. Chapter 1 briefly de

49、scribes the background for this study, introduces the concept of S/S, and states the purpose and scope of this study. b. Chapter 2 describes the methods used for sampling, treatment, and testing of the waste materials. c. Chapter 3 presents and discusses the results of the UCS and the TCLP of the stabilized/solidified KO88 spent potliner waste. d.
