Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the findings of a 1983 study commissioned by the Illinois Department of Energy and Natural Resources to assess hazardous waste generation and management in the Chicago area. In addition to quantifying hazardous waste generation and disposal practices in the area, the study analyzed the feasibility of alternatives to land disposal with a focus on 10 specific waste streams, including metal hydroxide sludge from commercial treatment, wastewater treatment sludge from electroplating operations, petroleum refining sludges, and ink-related wastes. For each waste stream, the study provides a detailed examination of its characteristics, process-generating mechanisms, and current waste management practices, followed by a comparative evaluation of various waste management alternatives to land disposal. The study's findings offer valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities associated with hazardous waste management, highlighting the potential for significant reductions in land disposal through the adoption of feasible alternatives.
