The cost of waste disposal (water containing solvent at the solubility limit) was taken to be the cost of disposal of waste water as 0.75/gallon in a treatment facility for non-biodegradable solvents. The volume of waste water was the volume of steam condensate produced over one 20-minute cleaning cycle, expressed on an overall hourly basis. 

Van der Leeden, E, F. L. Troise, and D. K. Todd. 1990. The Water Encyclopedia, 2nded. Chelsea, MI Lewis Publishers. This book provides over 600 tables of information about the hydrologic environments. Tables include information on pollution, contamination of surface and groundwater, use of pesticides and fertilizers, waste disposal, water treatment, and other topics.

This five-volume set is a comprehensive encyclopedia of water with volumes covering the following topics surface and agricultural water domestic, municipal, and industrial water supply and waste disposal water quality and resource development oceanography, meteorology, physics and chemistry, water law, and water history, art, and culture and groundwater. 

Formaldehyde—Alcohol Solutions. These solutions are blends of concentrated aqueous formaldehyde, the alcohol, and the hemiacetal. Methanol decreases the average molecular weight of formaldehyde oligomers by formation of lower molecular weight hemiacetals. These solutions are used to produce urea and melamine resins the alcohol can act as the resin solvent and as a reactant. The low water content can improve reactivity and reduce waste disposal and losses. Typical specifications for commercially available products are shown in Table 7 (117).

Following ultrafiltration of whey, the permeate passes over a reverse osmosis (qv) membrane to separate the lactose from other components of the permeate. Reverse osmosis can be used to remove water and concentrate soHds in a dairy plant, giving a product with 18% soHds and thus decreasing the difficulty of waste disposal. Concentration of rinse water gives a product with 4—5% total soHds. Proper maintenance of the membrane allows for use up to two years. Membranes are available for use up to 100°C with pH ranges from 1 to 14 the usual temperature range is 0—50°C.

Methods to control infiltration of water into low level waste disposal faciUties are being studied. Three techniques that may be employed separately, in sequence, or in conjunction are use of a resistive layer, eg, clay use of a conductive layer, involving wick action and bioengineering, using a special plant cover. 

The solubiHty of phosphoms in water is about 3 ppm. However, process water used in phosphoms manufacture or handling often catties larger amounts of phosphoms as particulates or small droplets, depending on the water temperature. Phosphoms-contaminated water is commonly called phossy water. Phosphoms has low solubiHty in most common solvents, but is quite soluble in carbon disulfide and some other special solvents. The solubiHty in CS2 and benzene was formerly used in phosphoms analyses, but toxicity and increasing waste disposal costs have led to mote use of toluene and xylene, and mote tecentiy to the use of nonchemical turbidity measurements. 

Wastes contaminated with aniline may be Hsted as RCRA Hazardous Waste, and if disposal is necessary, the waste disposal methods used must comply with U.S. federal, state, and local water poUution regulations. The aniline content of wastes containing high concentrations of aniline can be recovered by conventional distillation. Biological disposal of dilute aqueous aniline waste streams is feasible if the bacteria are acclimated to aniline. Aniline has a 5-day BOD of 1.89 g of oxygen per gram of aniline. 

Solid and Hazardous Waste. Regulation of pollution resulting from soHd waste disposal was formulated at a much slower pace than regulation of air or water pollution. It was not until the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) of 1976 (6) was passed that substantial controls were authorized. 

Hydrolysis. The hydrolysis of dialkyl and monoalkyl sulfates is a process of considerable iaterest commercially. Successful alkylation ia water requires that the fast reaction of the first alkyl group with water and base be minimised. The very slow reaction of the second alkyl group results ia poor utilisation of the alkyl group and gives an iacreased organic load to a waste-disposal system. Data have accumulated siace 1907 on hydrolysis ia water under acid, neutral, and alkaline conditions, and best conditions and good values for rates have been reported and the subject reviewed (41—50). 

Other Clay Uses. Other appHcations for clays include use as a suspending agent, eg, montmorillonite and attapulgite in Hquid fertilizers and dishwasher detergents in pharmaceuticals (qv), eg, kaoHnite and attapulgite for diarrhea control in cosmetics, montmorillonite and attapulgite and in water impedence where bentonite linings are used for reservoirs and waste disposal areas.
