Italian term or phrase: basi di supporto
In a document of regulations relating to dealing with waste drilling mud. Most of it is straightforward regulatory language but then we suddenly dive off into a bit of chemistry. If anyone can suggest a specific term for "basi di supporto" I should be grateful.

L'inertizzazione si basa sulle proprietà del reagente di produrre un rifiuto immobilizzato in una matrice solida. Sono sviluppate due tipologie di processi, note come: stabilizzazione e solidificazione.

La stabilizzazione: E' un processo in cui i contaminanti (es. metalli pesanti) sono completamente o parzialmente legati grazie all'aggiunta di ***basi di supporto***, leganti o altri modificatori. La stabilizzazione viene effettuata mescolando il rifiuto con un reagente (particelle di argilla, sostanze umiche organiche, quali la torba e carboni attivi) che consente di minimizzare il tasso di migrazione dei contaminanti, riducendo quindi la tossicità del rifiuto e facilitandone la gestione in discarica.

agree  Zareh Darakjian Ph.D.: or may be also "supporting matrices". The idea is that it is for support, and it is referred to as "matrix". That's a standard term in this field.
