Abstract

A new environmentally friendly method to improve the properties of soils by the introduction of 1–3% non-toxic amino complex compounds (ACC) produced from toxic industrial waste was developed. The relationship between the clayey soils’ mineral composition and the efficiency of their melioration was defined. A new technology to synthesize non-toxic amino complex compounds from toxic industrial waste was presented and reviewed from the perspective of their application in improving the quality of high-moist clayey soils in road and airfield construction.
