An authoritative reference for technical information on industrial and hazardous waste treatment, the Handbook of Advanced Industrial and Hazardous Wastes Treatment provides broad, comprehensive coverage of basic and advanced principles and applications. It addresses wastes in a variety of industries, covering metal finishing, food processing, milk production, foundries, chemical manufacturing, and more. Including numerous figures, tables, examples, and case histories, the text also explores new methods of clean production and waste minimization and addresses the treatment of landfills and underground storage tanks.
