In view of the toxic nature of Beryllium and its compounds the disposal of waste materials containing beryllium needs prior evaluation. The present study was undertaken to obtain information on the leachability and immobilisation of beryllium from solid waste red-mud generated in processing Beryl at the Beryllium Metal Plant at Vashi, New Bombay. The studies showed that 62% of the total beryllium in red-mud can be extracted by water by repeated leaching over a period of 445 d. The mixing of the waste material with cement and casting into cement blocks reduced the leachability of beryllium to 0.11% which got further reduced to 0.02% by thermal curing of cement blocks.
