Industrial Waste Treatment Handbook

Woodard & Curran Inc, "Industrial Waste Treatment Handbook" 
Publisher: Butterworth-Heinemann | ISBN: 0750679638 | edition 2006 | PDF | 532 pages | 27.2 mb

Industrial Waste Treatment Handbook provides the most reliable methodology for identifying which waste types are produced from particular industrial processes and how they can be treated. There is a thorough explanation of the fundamental mechanisms by which pollutants become dissolved or become suspended in water or air. Building on this knowledge, the reader will learn how different treatment processes work, how they can be optimized, and the most efficient method for selecting candidate treatment processes.

Utilizing the most up-to-date examples from recent work at one of the leading environmental and science consulting firms, this book also illustrates approaches to solve various environmental quality problems and the step-by-step design of facilities. 

- Practical applications to assist with the selection of appropriate treatment technology for target pollutants. 
- Includes case studies based on current work by experts in waste treatment, disposal, management, environmental law and data management. 
- Provides glossary and table of acronyms for easy reference.

Solid Waste: Assessment, Monitoring and Remediation, Volume 4


Solid Waste: Assessment, Monitoring and Remediation, Volume 4
Pergamon; 1 edition | May 6, 2004 | ISBN-10: 0080443214 | 1222 pages | PDF | 60 Mb


This book covers a broad group of wastes, from biowaste to hazardous waste, but primarily the largest (by mass and volume) group of wastes that are not hazardous, but also are not inert, and are problematic for three major reasons: (1) they are difficult to manage because of their volume: usually they are used in civil engineering as a common fill etc., where they are exposed to environmental conditions almost the same way as at disposal sites; (2) they are not geochemically stable and in the different periods of environmental exposure undergo transformations that might add hazardous properties to the material that are not displayed when it is freshly generated; (3) many designers and researchers in different countries involved in waste management are often not aware of time-delayed adverse environmental impact of some large-volume waste, and also do not consider some positive properties that may extend the area of their environmentally beneficial application.
