An Alternative Use For Bagasse: Stabilizing Agent For Lead Waste, Michael A. Janusa
An Alternative Use For Bagasse: Stabilizing Agent For Lead Waste, Michael A. Janusa

Bagasse amounts to one- third of the cane ground and supplies fuel for the generation of steam in raw factories; however, most factories have an excess of bagasse during regular grinding season. Another method for the utilization of bagasse was investigated using bagasse as a stabilizing agent for heavy metal waste solidified /stabilized in cement. Lead nitrate was used as the model heavy me ta l waste with a 10 or 15 per cent lead by weight to cement loading. Samples were cured for 7, 14, and 28 days at 24°C. Samples containing bagasse typically resulted in TCLP extract lead …
Solidification / Stabilization Of Lead With The Aid Of Bagasse As An Additive To Portland Cement, Michael A. Janusa
Solidification / Stabilization Of Lead With The Aid Of Bagasse As An Additive To Portland Cement, Michael A. Janusa
Faculty Publications
Solidification/stabilization (S/S) of hazardous waste is a widely used technology; therefore, it is crucial to evaluate its effectiveness and make attempts to improve the technique. A better matrix for S/S of hazardous waste was designed that is effective and economically feasible. This was accomplished by adding bagasse (byproduct of milling or diffusing sugar cane) to the waste/cement matrix. Lead nitrate was used as the model heavy metal waste with a 10or 15% lead by weight to cement loading. Samples were cured for 7, 14, and 28 days at 24°C. Samples containing bagasse typically resulted in TCLP (modified) extract lead concentrations …
