Recycling of contaminated soils by the AMREC cold-mix, asphalt-emulsion process

Conference ·
OSTI ID:41790
This paper describes the management of contaminated soils by recycling with a cold-mix, asphalt-emulsion process developed by the American Reclamation Corporation (AmRec). This is a soil recycling/reuse process in which soils contaminated with petroleum products and other contaminants can be processed into asphalt products with beneficial uses. Most of the discussion will center on soils contaminated with petroleum products. However, the recycling of soils with other contaminants (e.g., heavy metals) will also be discussed. AmRec has produced approximately 500,000 tons of asphalt products with recycled materials. These products have been used beneficially in roadways, access roads, parking areas and landfills throughout the northwest.
