It is one of the treatments for sludge that promotes resource recycling and reduces the environmental burden of waste management. To accomplish this technique successfully, two (2) liquid mineral sludge; water treatment sludge (WTS) and ceramic sludge (CS) were treated with different binder systems using S/S technique.

The WPSA, POFA and FA were blended to replace Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) in S/S technique. Solidification (compressive strength) and stabilisation (metals leachability) tests were conducted on the solidified/stabilized liquid mineral sludge. Compressive strength test was conducted on solidified/stabilized liquid mineral sludge cured at age 1, 3, 7, 28, 56, 90, 180 and 365 days. Metals leachability test was only conducted for solidified/stabilized liquid mineral sludge cured until age 28 days.

Additionally, the microstructures of the solidified/stabilized liquid mineral sludge were analysed using Scanning Electron Microscopic (SEM). As a result, the compressive strength of solidified/stabilized liquid mineral sludge were all exceeded the allowable limit at disposal site (0.34 MPa) in accordance to disposal site in UK. The compressive strength of solidified/stabilized liquid mineral sludge by formulated TBBS were in the range of 0.7 to 1.5 MPa at age 28 days.
