... of asbestos in soil, waste, and recycled materials include the legal interpretation of existing legislation related to asbestos to ensure that it meets the regulator's intent. The inclusion of regulatory criteria or cutoff concentrations for regulatory control of asbestos in soil, waste, and recycled...

... From its storage in the workplace to its permanent disposal in landfill or through recycling, asbestos-containing waste (ACW) is a worldwide problem that requires careful and safe management. Considering the high amount of ACW produced by remediation activities and the lack of sufficient...

.... This protocol has been developed in consultation with waste and soil chemistry experts and the statutory regulators to accommodate the changing legislative requirements over this period. The protocol facilitates the assessment of hazardous status and selection of appropriate uses for the sediment post removal...

... for the mechanisms associated with dewatering and sedimentation of contaminated sediment. A coupled effect of electrokinetic dewatering and settling processes is investigated. electrokinetics electroosmosis electrophoresis slurry waste settlement Ha Ik Chung1 and Masashi Kamon2 Journal of ASTM...

... Radiation damage from the decay of actinide containing phases in ceramic waste forms can reduce their mechanical integrity and chemical durability. In order to understand the radiation damage and predict long-term degradation behavior of the ceramic waste forms in a repository, a short-lived...

... In the disposal of sludgy or pasty wastes, the liquid contained in a loaded waste will exude. The quantity of liquid exuded will be a function of initial water content, waste consistency, applied stress and time. In order to determine the amount of liquid, we have designed a new oedometer...

... It is a well-known fact that many inorganic species that may be present as a component of a complex aqueous waste can have an adverse effect upon the set of cements and subsequent properties of a final waste form product. Chemical species such as sulfates, aluminates, borates, phosphates...

... The method for development of technology of hazardous waste stabilization on a strong research base and for determination of parameters and conditions of appropriate processes is presented herein. It has been demonstrated on multiphase systems to find corresponding parameters and conditions...

..., as well as an increase in the interest in the health effects of impurities in water and a requirement for the limitation of types of pollutants being discharged to waste. In the past the ASTM Subcommittee on specifications has been mainly interested in limiting the impurities in water to be used...

... Analytical chemistry plays a major role in the hazardous waste field, but the hazardous waste analyte/matrix relation generates an additional dimension of sample complexity not encountered in other disciplines. Hazardous waste analytes are clearly defined by regulations; however...

... The application of soil mechanics principles to the study of waste engineering behaviour involves an awareness of the similarities and differences between such material and soil. A suitable waste classification system is needed in order to standardize test procedures and assess the significance...

... The Oak Ridge National Laboratory, a multipurpose research and development facility, has implemented a program to include the cost of waste management in product costs. The following steps are being used (1) planning and implementation tailored to institutional constraints, (2) methods...

... A number of methods for characterizing solidified waste are currently being assessed in the EC/EPA/AEC/Industry Cooperative Study. These are short-term laboratory tests which yield information on material properties (bulk density, specific gravity, and moisture content), ability to maintain...

... Under contract with the Department of Energy, Rockwell Hanford Operations (Rockwell) conducted a series of studies related to Three Mile Island (TMI) post loss of coolant accident (LOCA) waste handling safety. The key factor in these studies was the control of radiolytic gases, specifically...

... The analysis for soluble heavy metals and cyanide in waste materials and other complex matrices can be assisted by the use of chloroform. Chloroform was used in a test procedure designed to simulate codisposal of waste with municipal refuse. Chloroform was found to be effective in removing...

... of employment of these procedures and directly impacts on the type and quantitiy of waste produced. A survey of the medical uses of radiopharmaceuticals was conducted to obtain a general picture of the nature of current radioactivity uses and the routes and quantities that might be involved in release...
