Stabilisation/Solidification Treatm

Stabilization/solidification (S/S) has emerged as an efficient and widely used method for treating certain hazardous wastes and contaminated ground. In general, S/S methods cause the treated wastes to encapsulate contaminants and prevent them from transferring into the environment when disposed of in a landfill. This is especially favorable in light of the production of industrial and hazardous wastes that cannot be recycled or destroyed. Stabilisation/Solidification Treatment and...
More Description

Stabilization/solidification (S/S) has emerged as an efficient and widely used method for treating certain hazardous wastes and contaminated ground. In general, S/S methods cause the treated wastes to encapsulate contaminants and prevent them from transferring into the environment when disposed of in a landfill. This is especially favorable in light of the production of industrial and hazardous wastes that cannot be recycled or destroyed. Stabilisation/Solidification Treatment and Remediation: Advances in S/S for Waste and Contaminated Land contains contributions from leading authorities on S/S treatment methods. A wide range of topics related to the stabilization and solidification of waste and contaminated land are addressed under six broad themes: binders and technologies; testing, QA/QC, and guidance documents; long-term performance and environmental impact; case studies; stabilization of untreated materials; and beyond conventional stabilization/solidification. The book also containsseven state-of-practice reports that discuss basic principles, research, applications, testing and performance criteria, long-term performance, environmental impact, quality assurance and quality control, and good practice guidance documents for binders and technologies. Supplying essential information for environmental researchers, engineers, and policymakers, Stabilisation/Solidification Treatment and Remediationis a unique tool for responsibly managing difficult wastes.
