Abstract Purpose This work deals with the application of a solidification/stabilization process aim to obtain safe and reusable granular materials from polluted soil elucidate mechanisms involved in retention several heavy metals. Materials methods The High Performance Solidification/Stabilization (HPSS®) was applied selected contaminated by using both ordinary Portland cement calcium aluminate...

All metals and alloys with exception of Bi are shrinking during cooling, mostly during the solidification process. In order to avoid shrinking porosity, casting process, and gating and feeding system must be properly designed. Solidification front must move towards the feeding system where solidification is then completed. No separate liquid pockets where solidification ended without feeding sh...
