Treatment technologies for solvent containing wastes

Book ·
OSTI ID:6986481
This book provides technical information describing management options for solvent containing wastes. These options include treatment and disposal of waste streams as well as waste minimization procedures such as source reduction, reuse, and recycling. Emphasis is placed on proven technologies such as incineration, use as fuel, distillation, steam stripping, biological treatment, and activated carbon adsorption; however, a full range of waste minimization processes and treatment recovery technologies which can be used to manage solvent wastes is covered in the book. Potentially viable technologies are described in terms of performance in removal of regulated constituents, associated process residuals and emissions, and restrictive waste characteristics which affect the ability of a given technique to effectively treat the wastes under consideration. Approaches to the selection of treatment/recovery options are reviewed, and pertinent properties of organic solvents which impact treatment technology/waste interactions are provided.
