LEACH MODELS - THEORY AND APPLICATION Conference Paper

abstract

• Mechanistic leach models can be applied to describe performance of solidified wastes in the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure test. A simple model was modified to describe the effect of inward diffusion of acetic acid from the leaching solution. However, the model did not incorporate changes in the acetic acid concentration that would be observed over time as pH rises. Mechanistic leach models could also be applied to predict long-term leaching, to quantify the relative importance of chemical and physical immobilization mechanisms, to correlate and extrapolate leaching data for various contaminants and binders, and to predict ultimate performance from early characteristics of the solidified waste. 1990.
