Hazardous Waste Site Remediation Source Control

About this book

Intended for students in civil engineering, environmental engineering and hazardous waste site remediation, hazardous waste management, environmental management, subsurface remediation, solid and hazardous waste control, environmental pollution control, waste management, and industrial waste treatment. Hazardous Waste Site Remediation is an outstanding textbook that reviews specific treatment processes, as well as pertinent basic concepts in organic geochemistry, material balance mass transfer, thermodynamics, and kinetics. Following a quantitative approach to source control, the text covers regulations, materials handling, engineering principles, soil vapour extraction, chemical extraction and soil washing, solidification and stabilisation, and chemical destruction. It also explores topics in bioremediation, thermal processes, risk assessment, and waste minimization. A solutions manual is available when adopted for classroom use.
