Hazardous waste has been dumped indiscriminately; it has been burned uncontrollably, and it has been buried irresponsibly. This book describes methods of disposal of hazardous waste through incineration in a responsible, environmentally secure manner. The purpose of this book is to present the entire field of hazardous waste incineration to the reader. Information on regulations, site cleanup, air emissions control, and current and emerging thermal treatment technologies are of relevance to the lay reader as well as the engineering professional. Nontechnical people with an interest in this subject include supervisory personnel in government and industry, members of public interest groups, members of the news media, and students of environmental technology. The technical material in the text, including calculations of system and equipment parameters and air emissions discharges, should be of interest to the engineer and designer.
