24. •Ion exchange is reversible exchange of ions between liquid and solid phases. Ions held by electrostatic
forces to charged functional groups on the surface of an insoluble solids are replaced by ions of similar
charge in a solution Ion exchange is stoichiometric, reversible and selective removal of dissolved ionic
species.

36. Solidification and stabilization may take weeks or
months to complete.The actual time it takes will
depend on several factors. For example, they may
take longer where:
•The contaminated area is large or deep.
•The soil is dense or rocky, making it harder to mix
with the binding agent.
• Mixing occurs above ground, which requires
excavation.
• Extreme cold or r Binding agents can be injected
into soil and mixed using augers. rainfall delays
