Coal combustion residuals, leachate and wet ash wastes solidification devices, kits and assemblies
Environmental waste solidification devices, system, kits and methods are shown and described. Absorbent compositions for solidification of environmental wastes are shown and described. In one example, the composition includes an amount of sodium polyacrylate polymer mixed with another non-polymeric particle, useful for waste solidification.
1. A system for solidification of moistened Coal Ash, comprising
an amount of superabsorbent polymer (SAP) able to solidify an amount of given Coal Ash from a slurry to a solidified state able to pass a Paint Filter Test,
an amount of bentonite,
an amount of cement,
wherein the SAP, the bentonite, and the cement form a blend including about 50% SAP, about 25% Bentonite, and about 25% Portland cement.
2. A system for solidification of moistened Coal Ash, comprising:
an amount of superabsorbent polymer (SAP) able to solidify an amount of given Coal Ash from a slurry to a solidified state able to pass a Paint Filter Test,
an amount of bentonite,
an amount of cement,
wherein the SAP, the bentonite, and the cement form a blend including between about 70-80% SAP, between about 5-10% bentonite, and between about 5-10% cement.
3. The system of claim 2 including between about 5-10% wood flour.
4. The system of claim 1 wherein the amount of SAP is contained in a pellet form.
5. The system of claim 1 wherein the SAP is cross-linked internally and on its surface.
6. The system of claim 1 wherein the amount of SAP is contained inside a water soluble packet.
