Abstract
The presentations of researchers who have carried out studies on the “Stabilization of metal laden hazardous wastes for disposal in to Secured Land Fill” are reviewed and documented in this paper. The importance of protecting ground water aquifers from getting polluted by leachates of heavy metal-laden soils need not be overemphasized. An attempt is made in this paper to review the present state of different technologies so that site-specific, cost-effective, environmentally sound, technically feasible and socially acceptable technologies can be adopted to solve this problem at local level.
Keywords: Hazardous, leachate, metals, stabilization
