Tunnel boring muds, coming from underground works, are considered as specific materials due to their intrinsic characteristics (granularity, clay content, water content, presence of heavy metals). In order to determine if they can be valorized in road construction or civil engineering, a complete characterization, including their environmental behavior, is necessary. Thus, the aim of this study is to characterize a tunnel boring mud sample from chemical, mineralogical, and environmental point of view. The studied material, a limestone mud, was characterized using different analytical techniques. Some pollutants and heavy metals were identified, such as sulfates and molybdenum (Mo), and specific analyses were performed to identify molybdenum speciation. As molybdenum was detected as traces in the studied material, it was necessary to increase its concentration. Thus, a nitric acid extraction was specifically developed at a laboratory scale with the aim to remove its high-calcium carbonate content. Then, synchrotron analyses were performed, allowing to obtain data on the oxidation state of molybdenum.
