This Environmental Technology Handbook intends to show the conversion of industrial wastes into resources. Increasing populations and ever expanding industrialization have increased waste output to a point where natural reclamation can no longer keep up. The synthesis pathways of nature are overloaded. Wastes in the ecological sense are manufactured goods no longer useful to man, as are by-products and residua (dross, slag, offal) as well as liquid and gaseous effluents, including raw sewage. This volume concentrates on the process technology available for resource recovery and recycling of industrial wastes. Financial and economic considerations and allied decisions must be left to the potential users of such processes, since their practicality varies widely with local conditions and the shortage or overabundance of raw materials. Vital data are condensed from U.S. Government-sponsored projects and recent U.S. patents. Entries have been arranged in an alphabetical and encyclopedic manner wherever possible.
