Pretreatment of solid wastes, and wastes to be compacted, for introduction into underground salt cavities or salt caverns via a downpipeunder the force of gravity

Abstract From the Canadian patent

Solid wastes and wastes to, be compacted, are pretreated for introduction into underground salt cavities or salt caverns via a downpipe under the force of gravity by a process in which solid uncom-, minuted or comminuted or finely divided to very finely divided wastes are mixed with waste sludges in a ratio such that a material results from which moldings are produced, with or without the addition of a binder in the, form of granules, agglomerates or pellets by a granulation method, or in the form of flakes by a pressing method, the flakes being comminuted to give small moldings, and, if appropriate, the moldings are surface-dried or dried completely the moldings which are free-flowing …
