The presence of cyanide is a significant issue in industrial and
municipal wastewater treatment and management, in remediation of
former manufactured gas plant sites and aluminum production waste
disposal sites, in treatment and management of residuals from
hydrometallurgical gold mining, and in other industrial operations
in which cyanide-bearing wastes were produced. The complexity of
the chemistry and toxicology of cyanide and the risk it poses in
different environmental contexts make its management and
remediation extremely challenging. Cyanide in Water and Soil is the
first book to present the state-of-the-art in managing cyanide
across a wide range of industrial and environmental contexts.
The book brings together current knowledge and information about
cyanide release to and behavior in the environment, and explores
how to control or remediate these releases. No other broad-based
examination of this topic exists. Exploring the anthropogenic and
natural sources of cyanide in the environment, the authors address
the full range of issues pertaining to cyanide fate, transport,
treatment, and toxicity in water and soil as well as approaches
currently used in risk assessment and management. They have
developed a careful balance of depth and scope of coverage,
providing current references that help readers learn more about
topics of particular interest.
An array of technologies is available for the treatment of
cyanide in surface water and groundwater, wastewaters, and
contaminated soils and sludges. These technologies span the gamut
of biological, chemical, electrolytic, physical, and thermal
treatment processing. Presenting examples of applications of the
technologies employedmost commonly in municipal and industrial
settings, the book is a useful reference tool for engineers,
scientists, practitioners, and researchers in academia, industrial
organizations, government, and engineering and science consulting
firms.
