Hydrated lime for metals immobilization and explosives transformation: Treatability study

► RDX concentration in leachate and surface water from the lime treated soil was decreased from 26% to 92% compared to unamended soil. ► Concentration of Zn in leachate and surface water from the limed soil decreased from 66% to 83% compared to unamended soil. ► Treatability study indicated a high potential of success for scale-up to field treatment with potential for significant migration reduction.
