Types of Wastes Handled. During trial burns in 1982 and 1983 the MIS successfully incinerated PCBs and other chlorinated organic liquids. The unit was subsequently modified to handle solid materials and field-tested at Denny Farm in southwestern Missouri. In this test the incinerator was fed... 

Satisfactory formulations of pheromones that afford a constant release rate over a long period of time are not likely to be achieved without the cooperation of the chemical industry. Controlled release of pheromones is discussed in the Proceedings of a recent symposium (623). Fortunately, several organizations in the U. S. have been interested in the possibilities of the use of pheromone formulations on a commercial basis. One company (605) has supplied formulations for several investigators, and in addition has carried out extensive field tests with their own personnel. It has developed the use of hollow fibers, which are simply microcapillary reservoirs that serve to contain a vaporizable material and mediate evaporation of the material into the atmosphere . The fiber wall is essentially impermeable. One end is sealed, and the release rate essentially depends on diffusion from the surface of the liquid-vapor interface to the open end of the hollow fiber. Fibers are supplied in two forms. A tape form consists of a parallel array of fibers on an adhesive tape this form is used to establish point-source evaporators. The chopped fiber form is used for dissemination with a ground rig or from the air. 

Leaching of chemicals from complex materials or matrices is a complicated phenomenon in which many factors may influence the release of the specific organic compounds and inorganic ions. Important factors include major element chemistry, pH, redox, complexation, liquid to solid ratio, contact time, and biological activity. To describe fully the leaching of SWMs/COMs under field conditions, a battery of leaching tests was specifically designed to simulate various physical and chemical release mechanisms.
