ABSTRACT:
A method for encapsulating an arsenic-contaminated waste material, e.g. spent guard bed material, in a concrete formed by mixing the waste material with a tricalcium aluminate-free hydraulic cement, e.g. aluminous cement, and water. The resulting mixture is allowed to harden producing a concrete product which is highly sulfate and acid resistant. By being sulfate resistant, ettringite is not formed even after prolonged periods of exposure thereby insuring the structural integrity of the concrete product which allows it to be used as a permanent landfill material without risk of the arsenic being leached therefrom by contacting water. Aggregate, e.g. sand and/or silica flour may be added, and the mixture can be agitated and/or exposed to steam during curing to substantially increase the density of the final product. In instance of prolonged curing times, an accelerator chemical is added to the mixture to speed curing.
