It covers all systems used for stabilization and solidification of wastes, discusses the interactions between contaminants and stabilizing components, and provides guidelines for the selection of bonding materials for stabilization. It also demonstrates how to design a stabilized waste form and includes a section on statistical techniques for generating response surface models for large, complicated applications., The development of stabilization and solidification techniques in the field of waste treatment reflects the efforts to better protect human health and the environment with modern advances in materials and technology. Stabilization and Solidification of Hazardous, Radioactive, and Mixed Wastes provides comprehensive information including case studies, selection criteria, and regulatory considerations on waste characterization, contaminant transport and leachability, testing methods for stabilized waste forms, and the interactions between contaminants and stabilizing components. The book describes various systems based on cement technology that are used for stabilization and solidification of wastes. It demonstrates how to design a stabilized waste form, including the use of statistical techniques for generating response surface models for large, complicated applications. It provides guidelines for the selection of bonding materials, such as hydraulic cements, polymers, and hydroceramics, and discusses several additives and sorbents used to enhance immobilization, binder properties, and contaminant stabilization. The book portrays the transport mechanisms of contaminants in treated wastes and how to predict the transport of contaminants with various mathematical models. Following a discussion of waste types, principles, and properties of cemented waste forms, such as microstructure and durability, it outlines the test methods used to evaluate them. Fusing research, technology, and general practice principles taken from the firsthand experience of scientists, engineers, regulators, and teachers, Stabilization and Solidification of Hazardous, Radioactive, and Mixed Wastes can be used in advanced environmental engineering courses and as a reference for stabilization and solidification engineers, technology vendors and buyers, laboratory technicians, scientists, environmentalists, policymakers, and managers in treatment storage and disposal facilities.

Description

Stabilization And Solidification Of Hazardous, Radioactive, And Mixed Wastes, Hardcover by Spence, Roger D. (EDT); Shi, Caijun (EDT), ISBN 1566704448, ISBN-13 9781566704441, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Spence (a senior chemical engineer in the Nuclear Science and Technology Division of Oak Ridge National Laboratory, US) and Shi (civil engineering and architecture, Central South U., Hunan, China) consolidate information on research, technology, and general practice in stabilization/solidification, a process that involves mixing hazardous waste with a binder to reduce the contaminant leachability and to convert it into a form acceptable for land disposal or construction use. The 13 chapters they present cover both scientific and regulatory matters, looking at classification and characterization of wastes; cement, organic polymer, and other binding systems; interactions between wastes and binders; evaluation tests for inorganic constituent release from cement-based matrices; testing and performance criteria for converted waste forms; quality assurance and quality control; and case studies.
