- Modelling leaching of inorganic contaminants from cementitious waste matrices
Final published version, 2.9 MB, PDF document
Abstract
Experimental data from leaching tests have been modelled with the geochemical code PHREEQC. The following objectives were achieved: (i) the main solubility controlling minerals for matrix elements (Ca, Mg, Al and Si) and for one heavy metal (Pb) were identified; (ii) the effect of carbonation on leaching of major elements and lead was simulated; (iii) the importance of including solid solutions and surface complexation for simulation of lead leaching was indicated.
