Goodwin, R W

Wastes from dry air pollution control (APC) systems may not be less problematic to transport and landfill than waste from wet APC units, particularly the thixotropic flue gas desulphurization (FGD) sludge. FGD sludge can be converted to a soil-like, disposable material by forced oxidation, fly ash blending, or lime fixation. Dry APC wastes require dust-suppression. Two properties and land disposal effects of dry and wet air pollution control wastes are compared. 22 references.
