Background As part of the Australian Research Council’s Special Research Initiative “PFAS Remediation Research Program”, research was undertaken to assess the feasibility of using remediated soil, that had been heat-treated in a pyrolysis process to destroy per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contaminants, as a fine aggregate replacement in concrete. Contribution Based on results from a laboratory research program to develop a mix design for concrete using waste heat-treated soils, a field trial was conducted to evaluate in-field performance. Significance Concentrations of metals leached from both concretes were similar, indicating that HIW materials added no additional metals during leaching compared to the reference. No residual PFAS were detected in methanol extractions. Results demonstrated that concretes containing the heat-treated soil at a rate to replace 100% fine aggregate matched or exceeded the mechanical performance of the reference concrete.Publisher
