ABSTRACT: Waste disposal to landfill is generally regarded as the least favoured waste management option hazardous industrial wastes that cannot be recycled or destroyed will continue to be produced and require safe disposal. Despite incomplete information regarding the longretention properties of the materials produced by solidification/stabilization (S/S), nlack of other effective remediation methods, is driving these types of technologies to become widely used in many countries. In France and the USA for example, S/S is now seen as a major treatment technology for hazardous wastes. In this Magnesium oxide (MgO) was used on a made ground field trial soil. This aim requires comparison between the binders and was carried out by performing two tests: physical and chemical tests designed to provide understanding of i. the processes involved in a particular test; ii. the durability of the products/ sample; and iii. their environmental impacts. Recommendations are given as to the effectiveness of these combined binders on the field soil.

INTRODUCTION Urban demand has increased the need to redevelop contaminated land. New legislation for land management has actively discouraged previously acceptable dig and dump practices. This has encouraged in-situ remediation approaches, for which stabilisation/ solidification (S/S) is particularly suitable for treating metaand organic contamination. The in-situ treatment methodology utilises modified continuous flight auger drilling and injection techniques. The treatment materials are injected in a slurry form into the contaminated ground and mixed with the soil in-situ. The prime objective is to ensure that the contaminated soil and treatment media are mixed homogeneously. COMPARING THE USE OF GGBS AND MGO IN LABORATORY AND FIELD TRIAL MIXING OF CONTAMINATED MADE GROUND SOIL Waste disposal to landfill is generally regarded as the least favoured waste management option that cannot be recycled or destroyed will continue to be produced and require safe disposal. Despite incomplete information regarding the long-term durability and waste retention properties of the materials produced by solidification/stabilization (S/S), necessity, and the lack of other effective remediation methods, is driving these types of technologies to become widely used in many countries. In France and the USA for example, S/S is now seen as a major treatment technology for hazardous wastes. In this paper, Ground Granulated Blast furnace Slag (GGBS) and Magnesium oxide (MgO) was used on a made ground field trial soil. This aim requires comparison between the binders and was carried out by performing two tests: physical and chemical tests rovide understanding of i. the processes involved in a particular test; ii. the durability of the products/ sample; and iii. their environmental impacts. Recommendations are given as to the effectiveness of these combined binders on the field soil.
