Characteristics of waste products from dry-scrubbing systems. Final report
Disposal-related characteristics of dry-scrubbing waste products from a variety of sources were measured and similar disposal characteristics were determined. Samples were obtained primarily from test facilities operated by vendors. Waste products exhibited a wide range of chemical compositions based on elemental analysis and x-ray diffraction and infrared compound identification. Leachate compositions also varied but all waste products were classified as nontoxic under May 19, 1980, RCRA rules and regulations. Analysis of the engineering properties of the waste products indicated that most samples developed adequate strength for landfill disposal if enough water was added and the moist materials were compacted. Measured unconfined compressive strengths after 28 days of curing ranged from 10 to 1300 pounds per sq. inch. The water required for strength development varied between samples and did not necessarily correspond to the amounts required to achieve optimum compacted density. Measured permeability coefficients ranged rom 10/sup -4/ to 10/sup -10/ cm/sec with most values in the 10/sup -5/ to 10/sup -6/ range.
