Abstract
Three geochemical concepts demonstrate the advantage of a long-term strategy compared to the traditional approaches in waste management: (i) the mobility concept, (ii) the concept of capacity controlling properties, and (iii) the concept of final storage quality, lie first being relevant for process studies, the second for effect evaluations and the third for problem solutions. “Final storage quality” indicates the ultimate goal of geochemical engineering and can be reached either by incineration and post-treatment (municipal solid waste) or be incorporation into low-temperature mineral formations which remain stable over geological times.
