Hazardous waste remediation

How do you know if an operation falls under the hazardous waste standard We need to answer this question before we get too deep into the realm of hazardous waste remedial activities. Wliether the answer to... [Pg.14]

Chitosan is a polymer with metal-binding properties that is derived from naturally occurring chitin. Research has been conducted on the potential use of chitosan in hazardous waste remediation. While chitosan does bind transition metals, it favors iron, a nonhazardous metal, which competes and interferes with chitosan s binding of toxic metals. Copper also tends to be highly bound, while the amount of cadmium and lead removed is lower. The technology is still undergoing testing and is not yet commercially available. [Pg.665]

For this study, a bi-phasic bioreactor design was utilized, operating in a semi-continuous flow process, having a hydraulic retention time of four days. Groundwater, with contaminant concentrations as high as 7000 ppm creosote, was treated on-site. This demonstration achieved a removal efficiency of greater than 99% for total polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). This includes a removal rate of 98% for the most recalcitrant, and most hazardous fraction of the PAHs, and 88% for PCP. The field test proved that biotechnology application for hazardous waste remediation can be effective at an actual waste site. [Pg.197]

Remediation. Many companies specialize in hazardous-waste remediation by providing a variety of disposal services and equipment, not limited to catalytic oxidizers and carbon adsorption systems. Remediation includes reduction and cleanup of hazardous wastewater by using oil-water separators to separate oil and solids from wastewater effluents of petroleum-based industries. Other hazardous-vwiste remediation services include demolition and removal of hazardous materials such as asbestos, removal of leaky fuel tanks, cleanup of contaminated sods, and the construction of slurry walls to aid in the remediation of groundwater that is polluted with hazardous waste. Bioremediation is also a growing field that involves disposal of medical and laboratory wastes often by using microorganisms to break down the hazardous materials. [Pg.935]
