Zusatztext "Thirty-five different authors have contributed 27 chapters ? coverage is comprehensive. Cyanide! its problems and solutions and thereto! is well discussed (and very well referenced! with approximately 60 references per chapter ? It is well written! and to say the least! extremely comprehensive in the discussion of cyanide problems and solutions." - Gary F. Bennett! Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering! University of Toledo! Ohio! in Journal of Hazardous Materials! May 2006 Informationen zum Autor David A. Dzombak, Rajat S. Ghosh, George M. Wong-Chong Klappentext Cyanide is a significant issue in industrial and municipal wastewater treatment and management! in remediation of former manufactured gas plant sites and aluminum production waste disposal sites! in treatment and management of residuals from hydrometallurgical gold mining! and in other industrial operations in which cyanide-bearing wastes were produced. Cyanide in Water and Soil is the first book to present the state-of-the-art in managing cyanide across a wide range of industrial and environmental contexts. The book covers occurrence! fate and transport! toxicity! risk assessment and treatment technologies. It focuses on issues affecting particular industries to directly help the practicing professional. Zusammenfassung Covering managing cyanide across a wide range of industrial and environmental contexts, this book brings together knowledge about cyanide release to and behavior in the environment and explores how to control or remediate these releases. It addresses the full range of issues pertaining to cyanide fate, transport, and toxicity in water and soil. Inhaltsverzeichnis Introduction. Physical and Chemical Forms of Cyanide.
