Book Description
"structured so that the logical progression of understanding, selection, and implementation of innovative technologies follows smoothly from one phase to another." Dr. Stephen James, Innovative Technology Coordinator, U. S. EPA Office of Research and Development OBrien & Geres landmark 1988 Hazardous Waste Site Remediation, also published by Van Nostrand Reinhold, gave us an excellent introduction to a critical issue. Their current book is a much needed, in-depth examination of recent innovations for hazardous waste site remediation, that will give you a comprehensive understanding of todays technology. Innovative Engineering Technologies For Hazardous Waste Remediation includes innovative applications of state-of-the-art chemical, physical, and thermal technologies as well as established processes. Youll review the principles behind their development and see examples of successful applications. The authors not only explain the new processes but also critically analyze when and where they apply and dont apply. In addition, they suggest ways to overcome some of the barriers to implementing innovative technologies. OBrien & Geres unique approach unites scientific and management concerns. The authors stress real-world, long-term solutions based on such legislation as the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA), and RCRA. Whether youre a member of an environmental consulting firm, or a manager, engineer, or student, youll find this book to be the authoritative source on the latest technologies for hazardous waste remediation. The OBrien & Gere Companies 19451995...a foundation for the future.

Book Description
Most books on ground water and soil cleanup address only the technologies themselvesâ€"not why new technologies are or are not developed. Innovations in Ground Water and Soil Cleanup takes a holistic approach to the entire field, addressing both the sluggish commercial development of ground water and soil cleanup technologies and the attributes of specific technologies. It warns that, despite cleanup expenditures of nearly $10 billion a year, the technologies remain rudimentary. This engaging book focuses on the failure of regulatory policy to link cleanup with the financial interests of the company responsible for the contamination. The committee explores why the market for remediation technology is uniquely lacking in economic drivers and why demand for innovation has been so much weaker than predicted. The volume explores how to evaluate the performance of cleanup technologies from the points of view of the public, regulators, cleanup entrepreneurs, and other stakeholders. The committee discusses approaches to standardizing performance testing, so that choosing a technology for a given site can be more timely and less contentious. Following up on Alternatives for Ground Water Cleanup (NRC, 1994), this sequel presents the state of the art in the cleanup of various types of ground water and soil contaminants. Strategies for making valid cost comparisons also are reviewed.

Book Description
A rapidly growing population, industrialization, modernization, luxury life style, and overall urbanization are associated with the generation of enhanced wastes. The inadequate management of the ever-growing amount of waste has degraded the quality of the natural resources on a regional, state, and country basis, and consequently threatens public health as well as global environmental security. Therefore, there is an existent demand for the improvement of sustainable, efficient, and low-cost technologies to monitor and properly manage the huge quantities of waste and convert these wastes into energy sources. Innovative Waste Management Technologies for Sustainable Development is an essential reference source that discusses management of different types of wastes and provides relevant theoretical frameworks about new waste management technologies for the control of air, water, and soil pollution. This publication also explores the innovative concept of waste-to-energy and its application in safeguarding the environment. Featuring research on topics such as pollution management, vermicomposting, and crude dumping, this book is ideally designed for environmentalists, policymakers, professionals, researchers, scientists, industrialists, and environmental agencies.
