Effects of high temperature processes on physical properties of silica sand

This work explores the effects of high temperature and patented (PCT/GB2006/004591) smouldering remediation processes on hydromechanical engineering properties of the soil. The smouldering technique has been recently extended to a wide range of hazardous wastes, including addition of chemicals to facilitate remediation (PCT/US2012/035248). The paper results give confidence for the reuse of post-remediation material, which was raised to Switzer as a significant issue for industrial practitioners, particularly because of the high temperatures of the smouldering remediation process (Contact: Dr Gavin Grant, SiREM, ggrant@siremlab.com, http://star.siremlab.com/publications.php). This work was presented at the European Geosciences Union General Assembly in Vienna, in 2012.
