Abstract Iron-based degradative solidification/stabilization (DS/S-Fe(II)) is a modification of conventional solidification/stabilization (S/S) that incorporates degradative processes for organic contaminant destruction with immobilization. This study investigated the effectiveness of a binder mixture of Portland cement and slag in a DS/S-Fe(II) system to treat trichloroethylene (TCE), 1,1-dichloroethylene (1,1-DCE), vinyl chloride (VC), trichloromethane (CF), and dichloromethane (MC), which are major chlorinated hydrocarbons contained in waste oils and waste organic solvents. For TCE, 1,1-DCE, and VC, degradation experiments were conducted using three different binder combinations with Fe(II) (cement/Fe(II), slag/Fe(II), and cement/slag/Fe(II)). When cement and slag were mixed at a 1:1 ratio (% wt), the TCE and 1,1-DCE dechlorination rate was enhanced compared to that when cement or slag was used alone with Fe(II). Also, batch experiments were conducted in the solid phase consisting of cement, slag, sand, and Fe(II) to treat liquid wastes that contain chlorinated compounds at high concentrations. TCE was completely removed after 5 days in the cement/slag/sand/Fe(II) system, in which the initial TCE concentration was 11.8mM, with Fe(II) concentration of 565 mM. While the CF concentration was decreased by 95% after 5 days when the initial CF and Fe(II) concentration was 0.25 mM and 200 mM, respectively. However, MC was not degraded with the cement/slag/Fe(II) system.
