Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A guide to the identification and treatment of wastes that contain corrosive materials. Includes neutralization technologies, technologies for recovery and reuse, and considerations for choosing the correct system for specific situations. "From the Foreword" Treatment technologies for corrosive-containing wastes are described in this book, which will be a comprehensive source of information for those involved in the evaluation of available waste management options. Corrosive acids and alkalis are widely used by all segments of American industry and result in the generation of approximately 40% of all Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)-regulated hazardous wastes. Improper management of these wastes can result in altered pH of surface waters to the detriment of aquatic organisms. Land disposal of these wastes can also lead to the solubilization of toxic (e.g., heavy metal) constituents of codisposed waters, thereby enhancing the potential for their transport into the environment. To combat the potential negative effects associated with current disposal practices, the 1984 RCRA Amendments directed EPA to ban corrosive wastes from land disposal to the extent required to protect human health and the environment. . . . All potentially viable technologies for treating corrosive-containing wastes are identified and discussed in the book; however, emphasis is placed on proven technologies. Each of the technologies is described in terms of actual performance in removing constituents of concern, associated process residuals and emissions, and those restrictive waste characteristics impacting the ability of a particular technology to effectively treat the wastes under consideration. Costand capacity data are also provided to help assess the applicability of the techn

Download or read book Solvent Recovery Handbook written by Ian McN. Smallwood and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pressure is on to cut plant emissions while still maintaining a cost-effective operation. Choosing the best solvent, being aware of potential problems, and the recovery of solvents has never been so important. Traditionally, solvents had been chosen on the basis of whether they can do the job effectively and economically. However, with regulations on exposure to solvent vapors becoming more stringent, selecting the solvent that meets regulatory, efficiency, and economical criteria as early as possible in the process has become paramount. Solvent Recovery Handbook, Second Edition sets out the physical properties of the fifty most commonly used solvents. The book supplies information on their behavior during and after use, health and fire hazards, the photochemical ozone creation potential (POCP), and recovery processes including practical aspects of the design and operation of batch stills. It delivers state-of-the art coverage of every available recovery and disposal technology - including removing solvents from gas, water, and residues, separating used solvents, and drying solvents. What's more, you'll find fact-filled sections on the latest equipment, safe effective operating procedures, choosing solvents with recovery in mind, and much more. Updated and expanded, Ian Smallwood's Solvent Recovery Handbook, Second Edition hands you all the practical tools you need to efficiently and cost-effectively process harmful organic solvents after re-capture.

Book excerpt: The 1984 Hazardous and Solid Waste Act Amendments to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) directed EPA to ban certain dioxin-containing wastes from land disposal unless EPA determines that restrictions on land disposal of these wastes are not needed to protect human health and the environment. Congress, through the 1984 Amendments, fixed a deadline of 24 months from the enactment of the Amendments for EPA to regulate the land disposal of these identified wastes (with some exceptions). In the event that the Agency has not issued regulations by that time (November 1986), land disposal of all specified dioxin-containing waste streams automatically will be banned. An important aspect of the land disposal restrictions is the identification and evaluation of alternative technologies that can be used to treat the listed wastes in such a way as to meet proposed treatment levels which EPA has determined are protective of human health and the environment. If alternatives to land disposal are not available by November 1986, it may be necessary to extend the deadline for the restrictions on land disposal. The full report identifies and evaluates alternative technologies that remove and/or destroy dioxin and related compounds from listed dioxin wastes in order to achieve constituent levels that allow the safe land disposal of the treated residues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hazardous waste management is a complex, interdisciplinary field that continues to grow and change as global conditions change. Mastering this evolving and multifaceted field of study requires knowledge of the sources and generation of hazardous wastes, the scientific and engineering principles necessary to eliminate the threats they pose to people and the environment, the laws regulating their disposal, and the best or most cost-effective methods for dealing with them. Written for students with some background in engineering, this comprehensive, highly acclaimed text does not only provide detailed instructions on how to solve hazardous waste problems but also guides students to think about ways to approach these problems. Each richly detailed, self-contained chapter ends with a set of discussion topics and problems. Case studies, with equations and design examples, are provided throughout the book to give students the chance to evaluate the effectiveness of different treatment and containment technologies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the practical aspects of environmental technology organized into eight chapters relating to unit operations as follows: 1. Biological Technology2. Chemical Technology3. Containment and Barrier Technology4. Immobilization Technology5. Membrane Technology6. Physical Technology7. Radiation and Electrical Technology8. Thermal Destruction TechnologyTraditional technologies have been included, as well as those that can be considered innovative and emerging. The traditional approaches have been the most successful, as contractors are careful about bidding on some of the newer technologies. However, as regulatory requirements increase, markets will open for the innovative and emerging processes. There will be increasing pressure to break down complex waste streams, with each subsequent stream demanding separate treatment. In addition, a number of technologies have been developed by combining processes directly, or in a treatment train, and these developments are expected to assume increasing importance. However, such concerns as uncertainties due to liability, regulatory approval, price competition, and client approval have limited the application of some of these newer technologies.
