Zusatztext "This practical reference offers an easily accessible discussion of both current and emerging separation processes used for waste minimization" ---showing how the processes work on a day-to-day basis and providing trouble-shooting tips for equipment that doesn't function according to design specifications. ---Abstracts of Public Administration, Development, and Environment Informationen zum Autor Long\, Robert B. Klappentext This work offers an accessible discussion of current and emerging separation processes used for waste minimization, showing how the processes work on a day-to-day basis and providing troubleshooting tips for equipment that doesn't function according to design specifications. It describes the fundamentals of over 30 processes, types of equipment available, vendors, and common problems encountered in operations with hazardous waste. Zusammenfassung Offers a discussion of the separation processes used for waste minimization, showing how the processes work on a day-to-day basis. This title provides troubleshooting tips for equipment that doesn't function according to design specifications. It describes the fundamentals of over 30 processes, types of equipment available, and vendors.
