Waste processing at Langøya Neutralisation, precipitation and formation of gypsum Fly ash, acids, alkali and heavy metals Stabilisation or solidification in gypsum/concrete Mercury waste and contaminated soil Stabilization and disposing in Landfill Contaminated soil Production waste Decomposition/Oxidation Cyanide 15
Stabilization process Gypsum made of waste acids, limestone and fly ash Stabilising heavy metals in gypsum matrix 16
Gypsum Iron-rich gypsum matrix absorbs and stabilizes heavy metals under stabile reductive conditions 17
