A pilot-scale treatment study was implemented at a deposition site of chromite ore processing residue (COPR) in New Jersey. Ferrous sulfate heptahydrate (FeSO4, 7H(2)O) was employed to reduce hexavalent chromium in two dosages with three types of soil mixing equipment. XANES analyses of treated samples cured for 240 days indicated that all treatment combinations failed to meet the Cr(VI) regulatory limit of 240 mg/kg. More importantly, the discrepancy between XANES and alkaline digestion results renders the latter unreliable for regulatory purposes when applied to ferrous-treated COPR. Regardless of Cr(VI), the introduction of reductant containing sulfate, mechanical mixing, water, acidity, and the resulting temperature increase in treated COPR promoted dissolution of brownmillerite (Ca2FeAlO5), releasing alumina and alkalinity. The pH increase caused initially precipitated gypsum (CaSO4 center dot 2H(2)O) to progressively convert to ettringite (Ca6Al2(SO4)(3)center dot 32H(2)O) and its associated volume expansion under both in situ and ex situ conditions, with a maximum of 0.8 m vertical swell within 40 days of curing. While Cr(VI) treatment remains a challenge, the intentional exhaustion of the heave potential of COPR by transforming all Al sources to ettringite emerges as a possible solution to delayed ettringite formation, which would hamper site redevelopment.
