Any other information on results incl. tables
In regard to the cover layer, the L/S (liquid/solid) is 16.7 L/kg, in regard to the filter layer the L/S is 44.4 L/kg. According to the Landesumweltamt Nordrhein-Westfalen (Environmental Agency of the German Federal State of Northrhine-Westphalia, Merkblaetter Nr. 7, Anforderungen an die Verwendung von Stahlwerksschlacken im Wasserbau, Essen 1996)
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- pH increase during construction of channel embarkment is not relevant for the environment
- Executive summary:
5 slags, steelmaking, converter (BOS) were used as a construction material in hydraulic engineering for channel embarkment. As slags have high pH values when leached under laboratory conditions, the pH was monitored before, during and after the construction works. Although the L/S (liquid/solid) was as low as 16.7, the
pH of the channel water was 7.8 - 8.4 before the construction works, 8.1 - 8.3 in reference site during construction werks, and temporarily up to 8.5 during construction works on-site.
