<Dissolution test>
Examples 1-8, Comparative Example 1
To 50 parts of fly ash generated by refuse incineration, 0.17 parts and 10 parts of water are added as solid metal fixing agent solid content of each of the above heavy metal fixing agents (X1) to (X8) and (A1), and 80 ° C. And kneading for 10 minutes using a spatula. The treated ash and untreated ash after kneading were subjected to an elution test (Environment Agency official announcement No. 13) to measure the concentration of the eluted lead ions. The results are shown in Table 2.
From Table 2, it can be seen that Examples 1-8 show the same heavy metal fixing effect as Comparative Example 1.

The heavy metal immobilizing agent of the present invention is one that suppresses the generation of toxic gases such as hydrogen sulfide and carbon disulfide during the storage, transportation and use of the heavy metal immobilizing agent without impairing the immobilization effect of the heavy metal. Because of this, solid metals or slurries such as incineration (flying) ash, mines, soil, sludge, or heavy metals present in aqueous solutions or suspensions such as industrial wastewater, smoke washing wastewater, leachate from waste landfills, etc. Widely used as a drug added to immobilize and prevent elution of heavy metals.
