T1 - Leaching experiments on the release of heavy metals and PAH from C&D waste and MSWI bottom ash N2 - Leaching tests are fundamental tools for the assessment of long-term impact of contaminated waste materials on the soil-groundwater pathway. Waste materials should be tested under conditions equal to their actual application in re-use scenarios to achieve reliable results. Since the standards for leaching procedures available on international level so far are either not validated or considered inadequate in respect to coarse grained materials, new standards had to be developed. Therefore column percolation and batch test procedures have been standardized and validated to enable their introduction to new German regulations concerning waste management. Practical aspects of the test procedures as well as the boundary conditions compared to the already existing standards will be described. Examples including round robin test results will be given to justify the selection of the new specifications.

T1 - Comparison of the release of constituents from granular materials under batch and column testing N2 - Column leaching testing can be considered a better basis for assessing field impact data than any other available batch test method and thus provides a fundamental basis from which to estimate constituent release under a variety of field conditions. However, column testing is time-intensive compared to the more simplified batch testing, and may not always be a viable option when making decisions for material reuse. Batch tests are used most frequently as a simple tool for compliance or quality control reasons. Therefore, it is important to compare the release that occurs under batch and column testing, and establish conservative interpretation protocols for extrapolation from batch data when column data are not available. Five different materials (concrete, construction debris, aluminum recycling residue, coal fly ash and bottom ash) were evaluated via batch and column testing, including different column flow regimes (continuously saturated and intermittent unsaturated flow). Constituent release data from batch and column tests were compared. Results showed no significant difference between the column flow regimes when constituent release data from batch and column tests were compared. In most cases batch and column testing agreed when presented in the form of cumulative release. For arsenic in carbonated materials, however, batch testing underestimates the column constituent release for most LS ratios and also on a cumulative basis. For cases when As is a constituent of concern, column testing may be required.
