This book represents the efforts of over a hundred individuals who planned and executed the NSTS field experiments, analyzed the billions of data points, and distilled their findings and insights into the summaries found here.
This monograph consists of manuscripts submitted by invited speakers who participated in the symposium "e;Industrial Environmental Chemistry: Waste Minimization in Industrial Processes and Remediation of Hazardous Waste,"e; held March 24-26, 1992, at Texas A&M University.
This book originated in a series of cross-disciplinary conversations in the years 1984-1990 between the editor, who is a physician-researcher involved in clinical and laboratory research, and a dioxin toxicologist.
Guidelines for Mine Waste Dump and Stockpile Design is a comprehensive, practical guide to the investigation, design, operation and monitoring of mine waste dumps, dragline spoils and major stockpiles associated with large open pit mines.
The Science of Land Subsidence explains the current science underpinning natural and human-made land subsidence events, and provides students and interested readers with sufficient background on the basics of geology, natural science, chemical, and environmental engineering.
Waterjet technology is used in a variety of industries including civil engineering, mining, geotechnical engineering, tunnelling, defence, construction and conservation.
"e;This valuable resource provides detailed health and safety information on the hazardous and toxic properties of over 1,000 heavily used industrial and consumer chemicals.
Providing vital safety information on over 1000 commerical chemicals, this work explores up-to-date data on fire and chemical compatibility, response methods for incidents involving chemical spills and fires, and personnel and worksite safety monitoring and sampling.
Offers thorough coverage of the remediation of soils contaminated by hazardous wastes, including materials, analytical techniques, cleanup design and methodology, characterization of geomedia, monitoring of contaminants in the subsurface, and waste containment.
With continued economic development and increasing urbanization, excavations go deeper and become larger in scale, and are sometimes even carried out in difficult soils.
Landfilling of waste has increased dramatically over recent years and there have been many examples of landfills which are unacceptable on environmental and health grounds.
It is hoped that this book will promote an appreciation of the environmental problems, energy demand and resources, the economics and risks involved that are essential to define the role of waste-to-energy systems in the future.
This book demonstrates the prospects for enhancing thickening or dewatering of sewage sludges and outlines some of the methods which might come into consideration.
This book aims to give the reader a short, tractable and as far as possible complete introduction to the young theory of hypoplasticity, which is a new approach to constitutive modelling of granular media in terms of rational continuum mechanics.
Offers up-to-date technical information on current and potential pollution control and waste minimization practices, providing industry-specific case studies, techniques and models.
This book is specifically concerned with pipes of rigid materials and provides some information on 'flexible' pipes that are available and on their behaviour and use as being of value to the engineer in making an initial choice.
The development of analytical methods for identifying widespread perchlorate contamination brought about an explosion of research into the environmental problems and their potential solutions along with a corresponding increase in the availability of information.
The protection of groundwater and surface water from contamination by the escape of contaminant from waste disposal is now an important consideration in many countries of the world.
The process of spraying concrete is one of the most versatile concrete placing techniques, and is used in a wide range of applications - from construction of new tunnels, domes, tanks and pools, to repair and strengthening of existing structure.
This book brings together contributions from some of the leading researchers and practising engineers in the field of silos and containment structures, and is derived from a specially invited colloquium on the subject.
This richly-illustrated reference guide presents innovative techniques focused on reducing time, cost and risk in the construction and maintenance of underground facilities:A primary focus of the technological development in underground engineering is to ease the practical execution and to reduce time, cost and risk in the construction and mai
Certain wastes such as nuclear wastes, are so hazardous that their disposal creates a major challenge requiring considerable technical skill and understanding.
