Overview
Focuses on remediation technologies for soils and sediments, waste minimization and management technologies, and radioactive and mixed-waste management. Describes the use of bacteria in controlling the migration of heavy metals in soils and water. Includes chapters describing green manufacturing processes designed to avoid the production of hazardous wastes. Reviews computer applications to waste management issues.

The 18 papers were selected from over 200 presented at the symposium (Atlanta, Georgia, September 1992) to reflect the most important or promising directions in hazardous waste management, and to avoid duplicating information in earlier volumes of the series. Among the remedial technologies described for soils and sediments are electrokinetic and the mobilization of specific ions. Other methods include the crystallization of mechanical pulp mill effluents and the removal of gasoline vapors from air streams by biofiltration. Radioactive and mixed waste are considered in studies of the Hanford waste site in Washington and reports of laboratory-scale studies. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
