MgO-GGBS Binder–Stabilized/Solidified PAE-Contaminated Soil: Strength and Leachability in Early Stage
The MgO granulated ground blast-furnace slag (GGBS) binder, as a novel binder, has gained increasing attention in recent decades in stabilization/solidification (S/S) to treat contaminated soils. In this study, the physical strength and leaching performance of an MgO-GGBS (MG) binder was examined and compared with (PC) portland cement and PC and fly ash (PF) regarding the S/S treatment of dimethyl phthalates (PAE) contaminated soil after 7-day curing. PC, GGBS, fly ash (FA) and MgO were used as binders and the effect of different MG dosages was discussed. The results show that the order of early-stage strength after 7-day curing was: , and PAE leachate concentrations was in the order of . The increase in MG dosage can improve the strength of binders and immobilize PAEs, while the increase of initial PAE concentrations () can reduce the strength and increase the leaching of PAE. Therefore, the MG binder showed a better performance for the S/S of PAE-contaminated soil than PC and PF binders. The relation between leachability and strength was further explored and is expected to provide guidance for the early-stage strength estimation after the S/S of PAE-contaminated clay soil with the MG binder.
