Lime for environmental uses. STP 931
- Ed.
This book STP 931 discusses the use of lime and industrial limestone for the control of factors that influence the environment - including the treatment of gaseous, liquid, and solid wastes. Current research shows that lime is one of the key chemicals that can help solve the problem of air, water, and land pollution. Topics covered are: the many environmental uses of lime including water treatment, sewage and industrial waste treatment, and the scrubbing of sulfur dioxide from power plant gases; various lime types and the engineering considerations in the design of lime handling systems; a hazardous waste incident where the waste was solidified with quicklime and lime kiln dust for burial; the growing use of lime and fly-ash for stabilizing scrubber sludges produced in wet scrubbing installations at more than 20 power plants in the United States; use of lime for stabilizing sewage sludge for land fill disposal; neutralization of calcium and magnesium calcium hydroxides through the use of carbon dioxide; and lime stabilization of expansive clays and silty clays for use in earth dams, irrigation canals, and levees.
