Title: Mobile waste processing systems and treatment technologies

Book ·
OSTI ID:5072155

This book presents the state of the art in mobile waste processing systems and treatment technologies. Established and developing mobile systems are addressed. The capabilities of five broad treatment categories, and specific technologies under each category, are discussed in various chapters of the book. Thermal Treatment describes the use of various incineration, pyrolysis and wet oxidation processes as mobile units. Immobilization focuses on cement-based or pozzolan-based fixation processes. Chemical Treatment addresses waste treatment via reduction-oxidation (redox), neutralization, precipitation and dechlorination. Physical Treatment discusses a variety of processes that physically separate different components of a single phase or multiple phase wastes. Biological Treatment describes the capabilities of aerobic processes, anaerobic processes, and in situ biodegradation.
