section heading graphic   Overview

DoloMatrix is a technology-based business specialising in the cost-effective treatment of hazardous and other complex problem waste materials.

section heading graphic   Competitive Advantages

Inorganic and radioactive substances cannot be destroyed. It is, however, possible to modify them to make them less hazardous. Organic compounds can be destroyed but the cost and risk of this is sometimes too high. A safe, sustainable way of dealing with toxic inorganic and many organic compounds is to convert them to something resembling an inert ore that can be safely returned to the earth's crust. DoloMatrix believes that its Dolocrete® encapsulation technology is the best available technology for this purpose and that it provides a safe, sustainable way of dealing with toxic inorganic and many organic hazardous compounds without major energy inputs or capital requirements.

DoloMatrix is the owner of intellectual property rights to the Dolocrete® encapsulation technology. This technology has been researched, developed and verified over a number of years.

Dolocrete® is a magnesium oxide type binder prepared from very high magnesium carbonate content, dolomite or magnesite material. This material is crushed and specially calcined, then combined with a proprietary catalyst. The resultant off-white powder, Dolocrete®, can be chemically bonded with a variety of waste products with the effect of stabilising the waste. The Dolocrete® powder solidifies the waste and effectively micro-encapsulates the filler materials, including hazardous waste. It achieves its setting characteristics through a carbonation curing process. Control of setting times, compressive strength, texture, form and colour can be readily accommodated. Dolocrete® is safe, effective, versatile and economic.

The key features of the Dolocrete® technology are that it:

  • treats hazardous wastes and turns them into safe solids for sustainable disposal
  • converts certain waste into building products
  • has been tested by numerous independent laboratories to confirm that it is capable of meeting the most stringent environmental legislation from around the world
  • has undergone numerous tests and pilot studies for both waste generators and waste treatment companies.
