| Domain | Definition |
Environment | Technique that encapsulates the waste in a monolithic solid of high structural integrity. Does not necessarily involve a chemical interaction between the wastes and the solidifying reagents, but may mechanically bind the waste into the monolith. Contaminant migration is restricted by vastly decreasing the surface area exposed to leaching and/or by isolating the wastes within an impervious capsule. Source: European Union. (references) |
