Ash and Soil Conditioning Using Exothermic Metallic Compositions

Abstract

A thermochemical approach to conditioning ash residue that involves the use of exothermic metallic compositions (EMC) has been previously reported. EMC intermixed with ash residue at the appropriate ratios can sustain a glass forming reaction wave that produces monolith glass-like blocks. Herein, the thermochemical conditioning process is extended for conditioning contaminated clay soils. The results are reported for a study of the conditioning process and product materials to determine the optimal processing parameters and to characterize the product materials.
