Encyclopedia Of Environmental Control Technology Volume 5

Contributors present case studies and research findings in connection with both technical and nontechnical recycling issues (e.g. economic viability) in a variety of industries, including paper processing, steel can manufacturing, and agriculture. Chapters on such topics as reducing air emission of solvents from metal cleaning focus on how to re-engineer production lines for increased efficiency and less waste production. Others report on new technologies that make use of waste products like coal flyash, gypsum, and contaminated soil. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
