Leachate characteristics of contaminated soil containing lead by stabilization/solidification technique
Contaminated soil is often a problem and concern in developing countries due to lack of clean soil for development, such as Malaysia.

| Summary: | Contaminated soil is often a problem and concern in developing countries due to lack of
clean soil for development, such as Malaysia. The objective of the study is to investigate the
performance of the available technique for soil remediation contaminated with lead (Pb) through
Stabilization/Solidification (S/S) technique. In this study, cockle shell powders at different
percentages (2.5%, 5% and 7.5%) were added as a partial replacement of cement. Toxicity
Characteristics Leaching Procedure (TCLP) was conducted to determine the effectiveness of the S/S
technique to treat the contaminated soil. The results show that 99% reduction of Pb concentration
after the contaminated clay soil was treated with S/S technique. The combination of cement and
cockle shell powders is very effective to use for remediation of lead contaminated soil and reduced
the amount of cement for sustainability approach |
