Abstract

Process for preserving waste, subsoils and the like, is characterized in that it consists in mixing an organic and/or inorganic hardener consisting of components containing more than 12 carbon atoms with fly ash and cement, allowing said mixture to stand for at least 24 hours, and adding said mixture to waste sludge that contains an amount of calcium compound. The waste may be sludge, moistened household refuse, cement slurry or aqueous residue of a water purification plant. Specified hardeners include calcium silicate, sodium silicate, bentonite clay and mont morillonite.

Description

Process for preserving waste, subsoils and the like This invention relates to a process for preserving waste, especially originally aqueous waste, such as waste sludge, occasionally divided waste, e.g. household refuse that has been moistened, waste of water purification plants, etc.
This invention also relates to such a process for stabilising subsoils, making them impervious to water and restructuring them, e.g. in the construction of undergrounds, tunnels, foundations of buildings, engineering works, quay-walls and the like.
Generally, preserving waste sludge is an ecologically harmful process. So, in the case of a compact and durable mixture of waste sludge, sodium silicate or potassium silicate and cement, the contact with water will give rise to the liberation of substances that are extremely dangerous for the flora. In addition to a possible attack of the flora there is also an enormously great probability that both the soil and the soil-water get polluted. If organic and/or inorganic hardeners are used, then dehydration will take place at a certain level by the presence of heavy metals such as zinc, iron, cadmium, chromium and the like, as a result of the lack of hydrogen-binding carbon atoms, resulting in a very great risk of intoxication.
The invention relates to a process for preserving waste that excludes the above-named disadvantages and whose purpose it is to make a durable whole from - originally aqueous waste matter such as waste sludge, cement slurry, aqueous residues of water ~ purification plants, and the like, by adding chemicals. This purpose for increasing the lastingness of waste sludge and like materials and for thus obtaining ecologically sound products that in no way impair the flora, is described below in its most preferred embodiment. At the same time it is obtained that the possibilities of occasionally further processing those products increase.
First of all, hardeners, either of organic and/or inorganic nature, will be mixed with fine grainy fly ash, to which is then admixed a certain amount of cement. This mixture is then allowed to stand for 24 hours, whereupon the whole is added to the sludge at a temperature between 7 and 65 C.
The fly ash, e.g. in the form of powdered coal, consists mainly of carbon compounds and thus is liable for binding the hydrogen particles.
The hardeners belong to one of the several silicate groups such as, e.g., calcium silicate and sodium silicate, and take care of binding all solid matter of the sludge upon precipitation In a special embodiment, bentonite clay or sodium montmorillonite is used.
From the foregoing we can deduce quite a number of advantages with which the process of the present invention will distinguish itself from any other method regarding waste treatment.
All toxic elements and water-soluble components of waste sludge are bound or encapsulated as such, so that the risk of being leached out is excluded, even upon making contact with water.
Another advantage is the impossibility for the resulting waste product of being dehydrated, so that the latter can be dumped in the soil as well as in the sea without the uncertainty of an occasional risk of intoxication.
The product thus obtained can be used without any risk as a covering material on dumping-grounds, as an aggregate, e.g.
in road construction, etc.
The invention is not limited to the process described above, but can be applied in any modified form without departing from the scope of the claims.
Indeed, the metal silicate and the hardener are usually mixed in a ratio of 10:1, but this ratio can be modified depending on the kind of application. The quantities of metal silicates to be added mostly amount to 2 to 30 % of the mass to be treated according to the nature and the properties of the waste sludge or the like.
It is also clear that the substances to be added according to the invention, either a calcium compound as defined above or an alkali metal silicate or organic hardener, can be used in amounts that may vary between widely diverging limits. The important thing is to apply quantities and ratios that result in a lasting and compact waste product. By carrying out few simple comparative experiments the technician skilled in the art can elaborate an optimal result. The quantity of calcium salts to be added will mostly vary between 0 and ton n based on the mass of the material to be treated. Said quantity does not bear a fixed proportion to the other additives and can only be determined by experiments.
Finally, it is clear that the waste product in its original form need not necessarily be a waste sludge or the like. Said waste product may be household refuse or any solid matter that has to be crushed first and optionally be moistened, whereafter, e.g., it can be mixed with an aqueous solution of an alkali metal silicate. The original waste product, that might be toxic, can then further be encapsulated according to the process of the present invention.
