Stabilization and Solidification of Hazardous

Fusing research, technology, and general practice principles, this book provides covers waste characterization, waste form design approaches, contaminant transport and leachability, testing methods for stabilized waste forms, case studies, and regulatory considerations. It covers all systems used for stabilization and solidification of wastes, discusses the interactions between contaminants and stabilizing components, and provides guidelines for the selection of bonding materials for stabilization. It also demonstrates how to design a stabilized waste form and includes a section on statistical techniques for generating response surface models for large, complicated applications.
