Abstract

The leaching of solid inorganic waste from loaded concrete or cement by Incoming water can be described in terms of a “steady-state” outward diffusion of the saturated solution, formed inside the pores. The derived equations permit the prediction of long-term leaching behaviour. Radiotracer experiments enahle the determination of the parameters involved.
