Carbofill E additive was used as SCS binder. The efficiency of immobilization of Cr (VI) was evaluated by washing out chromium compounds from SCS samples. The influence of the nature of the soil and the content of Carbofill E and Na2CrO4 in the SCS samples on the efficiency of Cr (VI) immobilization was studied. It was found that the nature of the soil and the content of Carbofill E in the SCS samples affect the immobilization of Cr (VI). Moreover, increasing the Carbofill E content in SCS samples further increases Cr (VI) immobilization. X-ray diffraction studies of the samples with immobilized hexavalent chromium showed that part of the sample transforms from a readily soluble form of salt into oxide forms of chromium and calcium-chromium, which are practically insoluble in water.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma15062335","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,21]],"date-time":"2022-03-21T21:48:42Z","timestamp":1647899322000},"page":"2335","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Immobilization of Hexavalent Chromium Using Self-Compacting Soil Technology"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4606-2034","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zymantas","family":"Rudzionis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Kaunas University of Technology, Student\u0173 Str. 48, 51367 Kaunas, Lithuania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6869-4374","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Arunas Aleksandras","family":"Navickas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Kaunas University of Technology, Student\u0173 Str. 48, 51367 Kaunas, Lithuania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gediminas","family":"Stelmokaitis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Kaunas University of Technology, Student\u0173 Str. 48, 51367 Kaunas, Lithuania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Remigijus","family":"Ivanauskas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Chemical Technology, Kaunas University of Technology, Radvil\u0117n\u0173 pl. 19, 50254 Kaunas, Lithuania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"262","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cnsns.2017.06.016","article-title":"Environmental Pollution as Engine of Industrialization","volume":"58","author":"Antoci","year":"2018","journal-title":"Commun.
