Abstract:
This invention provides a co-disposal pollution control method of municipal solid waste and fly ash leached by membrane concentrate, obtained residue and application thereof. A co-disposal pollution control method of municipal solid waste and fly ash leached by membrane concentrate, comprising the following steps: heat treating the mixture of leached ash and municipal solid waste at 800-1100° C. to obtain residue; the leaching ash is fly ash after being leached with membrane concentrate. The invention solves the problems existed in the co-disposal treatment of membrane concentrate, incineration fly ash and municipal solid waste, and the leaching toxicity of the ash leached by the membrane concentrated solution is reduced, moreover, the leaching concentration of heavy metals in the residue obtained after the leaching treatment is treated with municipal solid waste at medium and high temperature, and the residue obtained after heat treatment can be used as building materials.
Abstract:
Disposal of medications presents a multifaceted problem where medications disposed of via sewage systems can eventually affect water supplies. Meanwhile disposal via normal solid waste systems faces a similar problem and have the added dilemma of potential diversion of drugs of abuse. Combining those medications with an absorbent mixture containing bentonite clay with other absorptive materials allows those medications to be disposed of in a form that limits exposure to a water supply while simultaneously hedging diversion.
Abstract:
This invention provides a method for stabilization of flyash and scrubber residues subject to acid and water leaching tests or leach conditions by addition of stabilizing agents and agglomeration effort, such that leaching of lead and regulated heavy metals are inhibited to desired levels. The resultant waste after stabilization and compaction is suitable for disposal as RCRA non-hazardous waste.

Abstract:
A method of absorbing a liquid is disclosed. The method comprises mixing a recycled, starch-based absorbent having an average mesh size greater than 80 mesh with a liquid to form a composition. The invention also relates to compositions formed by mixing the recycled starch-based absorbent with a liquid. Lastly, a kit comprising the recycled absorbent is disclosed.
Abstract:
A remediation agent and process produces a treated water that meets discharge standards required by local regulations and generates stabilized waste which does not require further treatment prior to disposal. The composition of the treatment chemical is applicable to the treatment of industrial wastewaters and more specifically those from automobile production, metal finishing, metal processing, oil refineries, textiles, wood treatment, tannery, circuit board manufacturing, and other miscellaneous industrial waste streams from operations such as paints, coatings, adhesives, soap and detergents, chemicals, and food processing.
Abstract:
Lightweight concrete products, useful for example in blocks, wall panels, floor and roof slabs, in which zeolite is a major component, its content in the cementing material of the products exceeding 50 wt. %. Depending on application, zeolite may be non-treated or calcined at a temperature enabling the surface activation of the zeolite and resulting high surface energy. Zeolite thus treated will work as both pozzolanic material and bubble-generating agent. Strengthening agents are used to improve compressive strength of the products. Also, a binding material, useful for hazardous waste stabilization, comprising zeolite as a major component, is proposed.
Abstract:
A method for blast cleaning metal and fixing the hazardous waste generated by blast cleaning. An abrasive cement in a sufficient amount is combined with the blast cleaning process, thereby reducing the leachability of the heavy metals and producing non-hazardous abrasive waste.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a novel composition which is useful for forming construction blocks and encapsulating hazardous materials, a process for producing blocks and encapsulating the material, and blocks made of the material. This composition is a mixture of klin dust or volcanic fly ash and aggregate. The process comprises the steps of (a) blending a dry mixture comprising the kiln dust or volcanic fly ash mixture with water; (b) transferring the blended mixture into a compression zone and (c) compressing the blended mixture in the compression zone to form a brick of the desired size.
Abstract:
There are provided compositions and processes for enhancing the initial and long term shear strength and initial tip stability of process wastes. The process wastes are aqueous dispersions such as the slurry tailings from mining operations. The compositions are comprised of the process waste, cement and a water absorbent polymer which is a mixture of Mannich acrylamide polymers and dimethyldiallyammonium halide polymers.
