Suitability of TCLP for cement-based products by Shen, Aldwin Weishun.

“…EPA Toxicity Characteristics Leaching Procedure (TCLP) is one of the most commonly used leach test to study the leaching behavior of solidified wastes in landfills. When TCLP is used with cement-based waste forms, however, there may be a problem that the acid neutralizing capacity (ANC) of such waste can neutralize the acidity of the leachant rendering the true assessment of leaching potential impractical. …”
