Abstract

Technical alternatives in management of hazardous wastes and wastewater are: volume reduction with disposal, detoxification, and resource recovery (materials/energy). Volume reduction reduces the magnitude of the problem if affected by such processes as combustion or thermal treatment methods results in detoxification. Detoxification prior to or during disposal makes the waste innocuous or environmentally adequate. Resource recovery is obviously attractive as a means of reducing hazardous material quantities as well as conserving materials and may offer economic benefits. All of the management's options fall individually or in combinations of categories, namely physical, chemical, biological or thermal treatment technologies. The article discusses these alternatives with emphasis on applications to waste sludge treatment.
