In the present work, various additives, including cement, lime, montmorillonite, diatomite, sepiolite, and fly ash and their various proportions, were employed to stabilize/solidify artificially prepared Pb-contaminated soils. The unconfined compressive strength properties of the stabilized/solidified soils were measured to estimate the possibility of recycling. The efficiency of Pb2+ immobilization in contaminated soils was also evaluated using the US EPA TCLP toxicity test. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) analyses were used to elucidate the mechanisms responsible for the immobilization of heavy metals. The experimental results demonstrate that the immobilization efficiency with 42.5# cement was obviously higher than that with 32.5# cement, and the additives with a mass ratio Mcement:Mfly ash:Mquicklime of 2:1:1 were found to be the most effective. After treatment with only 10% (weight basis) additive, contaminated soil with a Pb2+ contamination level of 10,000 mg/kg could be successfully remediated, which helps to reduce the cost of the remediation process. The results of the leaching tests agreed with those of XRD and SEM analyses.
