Abstract
This paper presents the experimental results for optimization of the waste inertization systems based on Chemically Bonded Phosphate Ceramics (CBPCs). Through this process, the hazardous wastes containing heavy metals are transformed, by chemical reactions and binding in a solid matrix, into non-hazardous wastes. It was studied the obtaining mode of chemically bonded phosphate ceramics from magnesium oxide and potassium dihydrogen phosphate. Since the CBPCs system is a fast setting system it was studied the effect of retarders (boric acid and calcium lignosulphonate) used in concentrations of 1, 2 and 3% (based on the amount of magnesium oxide and potassium dihydrogen phosphate) above the setting process. It was determined the setting time and compressive strength of the obtained samples. The optimal variant has been established to obtain a suitable material in terms of both mechanical and compositional properties.
