Obiettivo We believe that it is necessary to examine, in a European context and looking ahead to new regulations concerning the landfill of waste, at stabilization of certain types of industrial waste (which for technical and/or economic reasons cannot be utilized at present). For this purpose we propose to: - implement physico-chemical processes which have been tried and tested abroad or in Europe in other areas of industry; - examine inexpensive techniques such as calcium sulphide stabilization; - examine an innovatory technique such as stabilization using a microwave oven.The by-products of the iron and steel industry fall into two main categories: - waste recycled in iron and steelmaking or in other industries; these account for the bulk of production; - waste which is not utilized because its physico-chemical characteristics make it unsuitable for re-use in industry. Management of the second type of waste poses technical and economic problems. For reasons related to the protection of the environment, and more especially of ground water, a number of draft regulations on the landfill of waste are in preparation. The question of stabilizing waste therefore has to be examined from the point of view of either: 1. making it acceptable for landfill where re-use is impossible, or; 2. converting it into some other form by chemical and/or physical process with a view to making it inert, as defined by the EC Directive, and usable for other purposes such as public works.
