Production-Integrated Environmental Protection and Waste Management in the Chemical Industry
Wiley 2008; US$ 155.00Production-integrated environmental protection is synonymous with - reducing the amount of potential pollutants at source - reducing the consumption of resources and energy - recycling and utilization of residues and used products, and therefore a topic of considerable current interest. No chemical process exists that produces only the product... more...
Making the Impossible Possible
Berrett-Koehler Publishers 2006; US$ 29.95The most contaminated nuclear plant in the country, Rocky Flats was an environmental disaster and the site of rampant worker unrest. Although it was estimated that it would take 70 years and $36 billion to clean up and close the facility, something stunning happened. Now on its way to becoming a wildlife refuge, the project is running 60 years ahead... more...
Geological Disposal of Radioactive Wastes and Natural Analogues
Elsevier 2000; US$ 98.95Many countries are currently exploring the option to dispose of highly radioactive solid wastes deep underground in purpose built, engineered repositories. A number of surface and shallow repositories for less radioactive wastes are already in operation. One of the challenges facing the nuclear industry is to demonstrate confidently that a repository... more...
Scenario Development Methods and Practice
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 2001; US$ 109.00Analysis of the long-term safety of radioactive waste repositories, using performance assessment and other tools, is required prior to implementation. The initial stage in developing a repository safety assessment is the identification of all factors that may be relevant to the long-term safety of the repository and their combination to form scenarios.... more...
Using Thermodynamic Sorption Models for Guiding Radioelement Distribution Coefficient (Kd) Investigations
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 2001; US$ 84.00A general consensus has been reached among technical experts that high-level radioactive waste can safely be disposed of in deep geological repositories. Safety studies are carried out to evaluate the overall capacity of a particular disposal site to confine waste and minimise radioactive releases. Since the principal way in which radioactive elements... more...
Geologic Disposal of Radioactive Waste in Perspective
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 2000; US$ 33.00One of the challenges facing the continued availability of nuclear energy is that of ensuring the safe, environmentally acceptable and economic management of the waste generated during its production. There is a broad scientific and technical consensus that disposal of high-level, long-lived radioactive waste in deep geologic formations is an appropriate... more...
The Science and Technology of Industrial Water Treatment
CRC Press 2010; US$ 149.95Offers an overview of water chemistry and covers the characteristics of commonly encountered mineral scales. This book addresses the formation and control of different scales in various systems and examines the developments in membrane-based separation processes. It includes coverage of a range of bacterial species, including Legionella. more...
Partnering for Long-Term Management of Radioactive Waste
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 2010; US$ 63.00National radioactive waste management programmes are in various phases of siting facilities and rely on distinct technical approaches for different categories of waste. In all cases, it is necessary for institutional actors and the potential or actual host community to build a meaningful, workable relationship. Partnership approaches are effective... more...
Pollution Prevention
Wiley 2010; US$ 259.00As many industries are beginning to learn, pollution prevention technologies offer more than just a way to comply with regulations, or even to “do the right thing.” It also makes smart business sense. The authors of this book, both veterans of DuPont’s in-house waste reduction team, have put together a “how-to” guide for... more...
Guidelines for Pressure Relief and Effluent Handling Systems
Wiley 2010; US$ 271.00Current industry, government and public emphasis on containment of hazardous materials makes it essential for each plant to reduce and control accidental releases to the atmosphere. Guidelines for Pressure Relief and Effluent Handling Systems meets the need for information on selecting and sizing pressure relief devices and effluent handling systems... more...
