Field Aging of Fixed Sulfur Dioxide Scrubber Waste
Publication: Journal of Energy Engineering
Volume 111, Issue 1
Abstract
A fixed‐material test pad was constructed to evaluate the long‐term effects of the fixation with lime of blended fly ash and scrubber sludge. The test pad was envisioned as a scale model disposal site with average dimensions of by 0.76 m thick. The fixed material was tested at the time of pad construction in 1979 and again in 1983 when the present investigation was conducted. The study included field and laboratory evaluation of the physical and chemical properties of the four‐year‐old fixed scrubber sludge. The effect of the exposure of the material to the elements for four years is described, and based on these effects, recommendations on the proper disposal of this type of material in landfilling are made.
