What is Heavy Metal Soil Remediation?
Soil remediation is the process of encapsulating heavy metals in contaminated soil sites to render them non-hazardous. If the contaminated soil exceeds the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) limits, stakeholders should be aware that remedial applications, such as Blastox 215® exists that can be added directly to the soil to render it non-hazardous.
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, barium, zinc and copper 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.
215 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.
