Key Properties of Blastox® 215

One of the most effective and proven solutions for stabilizing heavy metals in contaminated soil is Blastox® 215. This specialized chemical treatment ensures long-term immobilization of hazardous metals, making the soil compliant with EPA regulations and significantly reducing disposal costs.

Heavy metals, such as lead and their excessive accumulation due to industrial processes creates an environmental hazard. Metals such as lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd) and chromium are among the most common pollutants found in contaminated soil sites.

Long Term Stabilization – Passes MEP testing proving long term fixation.

EPA BOAT Listed – Trusted technology for environmental compliance.

Low Dose Rate – Reduces material costs while maintaining high performance.

Cost-Effective Disposal – Converts hazardous waste into non-hazardous material, reducing transportation and disposal expenses.

Large-scale remediation

Treatment for Industrial Sites, Firing Ranges, and Mining Operations

For projects involving commercial and industrial soil remediation projects where lead or other RCRA metals create TCLP failure risk, stabilization should be evaluated before the project reaches the waste-handling stage. Blastox® 215 is a dry, complex calcium silicate chemistry listed as EPA Best Demonstrated Available Technology for stabilizing heavy metal wastes such as lead and cadmium.

Treatment recommendations depend on project-specific soil data, testing, contaminants, dosing, mixing, and applicable disposal requirements.

How it works

How Blastox® 215 Is Used for Heavy Metal Soil Remediation

The Blastox® 215 treatment process begins with analytical testing and dosage review, followed by product ordering, field application, confirmatory testing, and final disposal of the treated material.

Submit TCLP and Metals Data

  • Submit TCLP results, total metals data, and available project information for review. Include the estimated volume of contaminated soil, project location, contaminants of concern, and disposal requirements.

Determine the Dosage Rate

  • TDJ Group reviews the analytical data to determine an appropriate starting dosage rate. Testing helps confirm treatment performance before full-scale field application.

Order and Apply Blastox® 215

  • Once the dosage rate is established, order the required quantity of Blastox® 215 for the project. Apply the product directly to the contaminated soil using standard spreading equipment.

Mix and Perform Confirmatory TCLP Testing

  • Thoroughly blend Blastox® 215 with the contaminated soil using a backhoe, rotary mixer, or other suitable equipment. Collect representative samples and perform confirmatory TCLP testing to verify treatment results.

Dispose of Treated Soil as Non-Hazardous

  • Review confirmatory test results to verify that the treated material meets applicable non-hazardous disposal requirements. Once approved, the treated soil may be disposed of at an appropriate non-hazardous landfill.

Heavy metal stabilization chemistry

What Is Blastox® 215?

Blastox® 215 is a dry, fine grain silicate chemistry listed as US EPA Best Demonstrated Available Technology (BOAT) for stabilizing heavy metal wastes, such as lead (Pb). This product is also extremely effective on cadmium and barium contaminated waste streams.

It is a derivative of the same chemical formulation as that found in our Blastox® product. Its smaller particle size provides more reactive surface which is beneficial when stabilizing heavy metals for contaminated soil remediation projects. Due to the low dose rate and competitive pricing, Blastox® 215 is becoming an effective resource for many engineers and also project managers.

It significantly drives down the cost of soil remediation disposal as hazardous waste transportation and hazardous waste disposal are avoided, allowing for local, non-hazardous waste disposal.

Contaminated soil treatment

What Is Heavy Metal Soil Remediation?

Heavy metal soil remediation is the process of stabilizing or encapsulating hazardous metals in contaminated soil to prevent them from leaching into the environment. Lead and other toxic metals pose significant environmental and health risks if left untreated. Soil remediation methods aim to reduce these risks by immobilizing heavy metals and ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.

One of the key factors in determining whether contaminated soil requires remediation is the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP). This test evaluates the potential for hazardous substances to leach from the soil and contaminate groundwater. If soil contamination levels exceed TCLP limits, stakeholders must implement remediation solutions to mitigate environmental impact.

Lead Contamination

Lead and other toxic metals pose significant environmental and health risks if left untreated.

TCLP Evaluation

The Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure evaluates the potential for hazardous substances to leach from contaminated soil.

Environmental Compliance

Soil remediation methods aim to immobilize heavy metals and help contaminated material meet applicable environmental requirements.
