Abstract

The generation of massive volume of slimes from sand mining industry ascertains the need for effective waste treatment. The application of slimes in landfill barrier/liner construction works has been identified as one of the processes that can be used to reduce their volume, enabling in this way the rehabilitation of dangerous sites. This paper presents results on the characterization of slimes from two sites located in South-East Melbourne. The hydraulic conductivity test show that values lower than 10 ^-9 m/s can be achieved to meet local guidelines. However, the presence of high level of heavy metals, exceeding the local authority threshold concentrations, needs to be overcome before the slimes can be considered as a potential liner material.
