Book Description
This book provides incentives for further development of sustainable fuel cycles through a novel and interdisciplinary approach to an Earth science-related topic. The main focus is on geochemical concepts in immobilizing, isolating or neutralizing waste derived from energy production and consumption. The book also addresses the issue of using some types of energy-derived waste as alternative raw materials. Moreover, it highlights research on how certain wastes can be used for energy production, an increasingly important aspect of modern integrated waste management strategies. The main objectives are to: (a) identify the most serious environmental problems related to various types of power generation and associated waste accumulation; (b) present strategies, based on natural analogue materials, for the immobilization of toxic and radioactive waste components through mineralogical barriers; (c) discuss modern procedures for reuse of waste or certain waste components; and (d) review the importance of geochemical modelling in describing and predicting the interaction between waste and the environment.

Book Description
The IEX series of conferences, which cover all aspects of the theory and use of ion exchange materials, are held on a four-year cycle at Cambridge University. They are now regarded as one of the most important forums for the state-of-the-art presentation, review and discussion of advances made in the science and application of ion exchange in the world. The papers presented at IEX 2000 include those on ion exchange theory and those covering its application to topics as diverse as environmental and pollution control, nuclear industry, hydrometallurgy, water treatment and resin developments.

Chemical Bioavailability in Terrestrial Environments
Author: Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0080557759
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 827
Book Description
This book begins with an overview of current thinking on bioavailability, its definition, cutting-edge research in speciation and advancement in tools for assessing chemical bioavailability in the terrestrial environment. The second section of the book focuses on the role of chemical speciation in bioavailability. Section three addresses bioavailability and ecotoxicity of contaminants and leads into the next section on bioavailability of nutrients and agrichemicals. Subsequent sections provide an overview of tools currently being used and new cutting-edge techniques to assess contaminant bioavailability. The last section of the book builds on previous sections in relating bioavailability to risk assessment and how this could be used for managing risks associated with contaminated land. - Provides the latest information on developing concepts and definitions of bioavailability - Includes a discussion of bioavailability and ecotoxicity of contaminants and bioavailability of nutrients and agrichemicals for applications in agriculture - Analyzes tools for assessing bioavailability and the role of bioavailability in risk assessment and remediation
