Rapidly changing public and political attitudes to the environmental implications of industrial waste disposal are forcing a re‐evaluation of the longstanding practice of directly landfilling such waste, either in a mono‐disposal or co‐disposal manner. As a result, more technology‐orientated solutions to industrial waste disposal are being evaluated. This paper describes one such process, cement‐based stabilization/solidification, and examines its physicochemical basis, present‐day application and potential future uses, and outlines areas where research into fundamental and practical aspects of the process are needed.
