The thermal instability of PVC poses problems in melt recycling processes but its widespead use in high volume production demands that practical solutions must be found. Among the topics receiving detailed attention are stabilizers, compatibilisers, contaminants, UV stability, mixed plastics wastes, and blending technologies.

The storage of hazardous, chemical, and nuclear wastes is one of the most intractable problems facing the United States. Based on the most comprehensive, multi-site, and multi-dimensional study completed to date on waste-facility siting and management in rural areas in the U.S., "Hazardous Wastes in Rural America" establishes the impacts of waste facilities for a range of rural communities that have experienced alternative stages of waste-facility siting and operation process. The work provides a comprehensive assessment of the impacts and dimensions of waste-facility siting and operation; exa

Many engineers, from the chemical and process industries, waste treatment system management and design to the clean-up of contaminated sites, are engaged in careers that address hazardous wastes. However, no single book is available that explains how to manage the risks of those wastes. At best it is dealt with in diverse sections of books on the general field of environmental engineering, and in various treatments of the subject of risk, statistics and hazard assessment.This is a reference and text that blends together theoretical explanations, techniques and case study examples to compleme

A host of questions confront environmental professionals dealing with treatment of hazardous wastes. For example, what is the nature of the pollutants? What is the contaminated media? What is the concentration of each pollutant? While all these issues are important, it is essential to assess the treatability of each pollutant before a process can be properly selected and designed. To meet this need, Physicochemical Treatment of Hazardous Wastes systematically examines the treatability of hazardous wastes by different physicochemical treatment processes according to the Quantitative Structure a
