As a result of recent developments in the area of hazardous-waste management, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is evaluating the performance of various technologies for the treatment and/or destruction of certain wastes that are presently being disposed of in landfills and surface impoundments. As a part of this program the University of Cincinnati, at the U.S. EPA Test and Evaluation Facility in Cincinnati, Ohio, is testing existing treatment technologies that are applicable to metal- and cyanide-bearing hazardous wastes. The following unit processes were evaluated: alkaline chlorination, precipitation, filtration, anion exchange, and cation exchange. Results of the studies are presented.
