Enhancing the value of the cement kiln dust so as to use it as an environmental barrier requires, amongst other things, the addition of fly ashes in order to improve the different properties needed to insure a better placing and a long term efficiency. Taking advantage of different experimental techniques, particular attention was devoted to the physicochemical behaviour of different kiln dusts associated with the fly ashes. Depending on the nature of the added compound, a different behaviour may condition the evolution of the mixtures with an effect on their stability. Indeed, this study has confirmed the improvement of the physicochemical properties of the dusts interacting with the fly ashes rich in silica and poor in lime, which argues well for their use as an environmental barrier. Moreover, the follow up has led to a better understanding of certain mechanisms generated by the systems dealt with. Hence, after hydration and different chemical transformations, some expansive phases as the ettringite, gypsum, syngenite, and portlandite develop in the paste, and therefore condition the behaviour of the mixtures worked out.Key words: cement kiln dusts, fly ashes, stabilization, physicochemistry, environmental barrier, lixiviation.[Journal translation]
