“…Therefore, this method prevents from contaminant transport to groundwater, reduces the mobility of the contaminant in soil, or changes the contaminant into a non-toxic form. Wiles (1987) and Leonard and Stegemann (2010) indicated that S-S is one of the most cost effective methods for treating contaminated soils.…”

This paper presents an investigation into remediation of an anthracene-contaminated clay soil through experimental tests. Samples were prepared of uncontaminated and contaminated soil-cement with 20 and 30% cement. Unconfined compression tests (UCT) were conducted on the natural soil and soil contaminated with anthracene. In addition, similar tests were carried out on uncontaminated and contaminated soil-cement at different curing times. Leaching tests were also conducted on contaminated soil and

“…Studies carried out in Southern Louisiana University indicated that drill cuttings stabilized in a silica matrix had a pH greater than 11 and did not support plant growth when land applied (Shaffer et al, 1998). Again, Leonard and Stegemann (2010) used Portland cement mixed with high carbon-power plant fly ash (as a sorbent for organic contaminants) to stabilize drill cuttings. They reported that the drill cuttings and high carbon-power plant fly ash addition both reduced the unconfined compressive strength of the S&S products.…”

Sustainable reuse of pre-treated drill cuttings (a hazardous waste) as part substitute for fine aggregate in concrete for construction purposes is becoming increasingly attractive; however, issues remain. With recent studies focusing on the use of near-infrared spectroscopic technique for non-invasive determination of chloride concentration in concrete structures, this review examines the applicability of this new technique in the rapid determination of other equally important physicochemical characteristics of concrete produced with this hazardous waste. The nature, source, composition, ecological effects of, and management options for drill cuttings are reviewed. Furthermore, the principles of near-infrared diffuse reflectance spectroscopy are highlighted and lessons from its practical applications in soil science and petrochemical, environmental, and civil engineering are discussed. A framework for a rapid near-infrared analysis of concrete produced with pre-treated drill cuttings for enhanced sustainability as a construction material is also proposed.

“…Drill cuttings are tiny rock fragments impregnated with fluids used for lubricating and cooling down the drill during the oil well drilling process (Leonard and Stegemann, 2010). Managing this type of waste is one of the greatest concerns for the oil industry because of the significantly negative impact it causes to the environment due to the amount of inorganic and organic contaminants this material contains.…”

Drill cuttings, generated in oil well drilling are managed to be disposed but will always have many environmental impacts. The innovation of this study was not only to produce a new and cost-effective material from drill cuttings, but also to mitigate its negative environmental impacts. Therefore, this article aims at characterizing and assessing behavior of drill cutting (DCI) deriving from well drilling activities in the State of Espírito Santo, Brazil, as a partial substitute to fine aggregate in concrete production. DCI was characterized using pH, X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (XRF), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Thermo-gravimetric analysis (TG), Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The concretes produced had four percentages (0, 25, 50 and 100%) of their fine aggregate replaced with DCI. The study concretes were compared to one another regarding the variables compressive strength, Young's modulus and microstructure. The results show that the use of drill cutting in cement-based materials is linked to its previous characterization. All the samples have shown mechanic results above the projected values. The microstructural properties were not affected by the DCI replacement. DCI concretes can be used in the ready-made material production, where there is stricter control of the raw-materials employed.
