A device and method for mud solidification based on electro-osmosis well points cooperating with well-points dewatering. The method includes the following steps: 1) preparation; 2) construction of well point pipe positioning frame beams; 3) assembly of a mobile trestle platform; 4) well point pipe arrangement; 5) well point/electro-osmosis dewatering; 6) filtrate treatment; 7) well point pipe dismantling; and 8) excavation and transportation of solidified drilling slag for utilization. According to the disclosure, well point pipes are adopted and used as an anode and a cathode of an electro-osmosis well, and on-site quick solidification of pile foundation mud is implemented through the electro-osmosis combined with light well-points dewatering; by the adoption of the well point pipe positioning frame beams, the problems that drilling slag in a sedimentation tank has a large water content and it is difficult to arrange and fix the well point pipes are well solved.

A method for an ex-situ carbonization and solidification of silt soil using an active magnesium oxide, pertaining to the field of civil and hydraulic engineering. The method includes the steps of silt pretreatment, homomixing of solidifying agents, silt granulation, carbonization by carbon dioxide, exhaust gas/waste liquid collection, and resource utilization. In the method, the supply amount of the solidifying agent is adjusted through the actual measurement of the moisture content, and the granule size and carbon dioxide pressure are adjusted according to the soil properties. Therefore, a full mixing of the silt with the solidifying agents and a rapid carbonization of the magnesium oxide solidified silt granules can be achieved. Moreover, the dust and carbon dioxide can be absorbed during the operation, thereby avoiding secondary pollution. The silt carbonized granules can be used as filling materials for roadbeds, airport runways, engineering backfills, etc.

An immobilized microbial agent for in situ restoration of contaminated sediments, composed of Hangjin clay 2 #-loaded conductive microorganisms, obtained by the following methods: 1) pretreating Hangjin clay 2 #to obtain particulate filler; 2) amplification culture of conductive microorganisms to a bacterial liquid to be inoculated, and adding the Hangjin clay 2 #pretreated in step 1 in a certain ratio, mixing under anaerobic conditions, removing the supernatant after standing, and obtaining the immobilized microbial agent; the conductive microorganisms are Geobacter sulfurreducens, Geobacter metallireducens and Shewanella. The invention also discloses a method for preparing the immobilized microbial agent and the application of in situ restoration of contaminated sediments.

A composition for solid pellets and a process for removing water from particulate material slurries produced by horizontal drilling, vertical drilling and dredging of bodies of water are disclosed. The composition comprises a precipitating agent, a purification agent and, optionally, a binding agent. The process comprises the steps of 1) water removal accomplished by diffusing a chemical reagent into the particulate material source stream that results in separating out a clean water fraction and 2) reacting the sludge with a demulsifier and a superabsorbent polymer that locks onto the water in the remaining slurry thus turning the slurry into a solid crust. The crust is ground into a particulate form and disposed in a landfill. The combined effect of the treatments is the thickening of the particulate material slurry from about 10% solids to about 25% solids. The removed water may be used for further drilling and drinking.

A method of treatment of aqueous liquid contaminated by pollutants, includes (i) mixing the contaminated aqueous liquid with a mineral binder in order to produce an homogeneous slurry, (ii) depositing the slurry, (iii) letting the slurry set and harden, wherein the mineral binder includes Portland cement, and wherein the contaminated aqueous liquid includes organic pollutants.

A process for immobilizing hazardous waste includes mixing the hazardous waste with a non-swelling clay, a cementitious binder and, optionally, water, and allowing the resulting mixture to set to an immobilized waste material. The process can also include dispersing the hazardous waste in the non-swelling clay to form a dry mixture, mixing the cementitious binder and, optionally, water with the dry mixture to produce a plastic mixture, and allowing the plastic mixture to set to the immobilized waste material.

A process for the solidification of liquid waste prior to disposal in a landfill, and an impermeable container in which the liquid waste is solidified.

Embodiments of the present disclosure include systems and methods for collecting, storing, separating, and disposing of waste material from an oil and gas well site in order to enhance payload efficiency. An embodiment of a method, for example, may include introducing a waste material into an enhanced-payload mobile vessel positioned at the oil and gas well site, the waste material selected to include one or more of a sludge waste material, a solids-laden wastewater material, and a dry waste material. The method may further include transporting the waste material when positioned in the enhanced-payload mobile vessel along roadways to an off-site waste management facility. Additionally, the method may include dumping the waste material from the enhanced-payload mobile vessel by a site-based lifting mechanism into a receiving vessel at the off-site waste management facility thereby to dispose of the waste material at a reduced transportation cost.

The invention relates to a method for producing a binder from slag for conditioning sludges/dredged material, soils containing water and for the neutralization of acids. According to the invention, the slag from a waste incinerator is crushed, then metal is removed and the crushed slag is graded into a fraction greater than 2.0-3.0 mm and a fraction smaller than 2.0-3.0 mm, the fraction 0/2.0-0/3.0 mm is dried in a dryer to a terminal humidity less than 1.5 wt. %-2.5 wt. %, as a result of which the pozzolanic properties of the slag are reactivated, the yield from the dryer is further crushed in a high-speed impact mill to a stable cubic grain structure and the metal released in this process is removed, and the 0/500-0/750 m fraction forming the binder is separated from this crushed slag.
