In stabilization/ solidification (S/S) of solid wastes by means of adding cementitious binders, like lime and cement the toxic constituents present in the waste form are physically as well as chemically ‘‘fixed’’, that is, their mobility is significantly reduced so as to minimize the threat to the environment and also ensure compliance with existing regulatory standards. This paper not only studies the role of stabilization of waste from some industries by adding binders like lime, cement and flyash in various ratios but also analysed its leachability and cost effective ratio.
