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 inadvanced 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.
