Several combinations of binders and absorbent additives were utilized to solidify a typical organic waste,
API
Separator sludge. The effectiveness of the materials was based on the waste leachability from the solidified samples. COD and
TOC
analyses were used to determine the organic content of the leachate samples.The ability of the COD and
TOC
analyses to assess waste leachability was limited. The inability of the COD and
TOC
tests to differentiate between organic compounds made the results difficult to interpret. This was due to organic contaminants from the solidification materials contributing to the COD and
TOC
contents of the leachates. Also, the COD test may have be influenced by reduced inorganic compounds contained in the flyash binder and the sludge. Representative samples for the
TOC
analysis were difficult to obtain for the leachates containing oils or suspended particles. It is recommended that the COD and
TOC
tests only be used as a screening method for determining solidified organic waste leachability and other methods need to be employed to obtain more accurate results.
