This paper presents the results of the treatment of lead contaminated soil by using the solidification/stabilization (S/S) method incorporated with sugarcane bagasse (SCB). A comparative study between the use of SCB before and after hydrochloric acid treatment is studied. Moreover, testing tests like density, water absorption, compressive strength and TCLP are also conducted. The results have indicated that the treatment of SCB is needed since it increases the UCS of the matrices, decreases the WA and decreases also the density of these matrices. In addition, this study improves the S/S method, by providing an alternative low cost material and at the same time by offering a new friendly proposal method for sugarcane bagasse elimination.
