A treatment method for stabilizing a sodic fly ash to reduce their leachability which is provided by a combustion process when a sodium-based sorbent comes in contact with a flue gas generated by combustion to remove at least a portion of pollutants contained in the flue gas. The treatment method comprises contacting the sodic fly ash with at least one additive comprising calcium. The material obtained from the contacting step is preferably dried. The material may be selected from the group consisting of lime kiln, dust, fine limestone, quicklime, hydrated lime, dolomitic lime, dolomite, selectively calcined dolomite, hydrated dolomite, and any mixture of two or more thereof.
