Chapter Summaries

Chapter 1: Characteristics of Hazardous Industrial Waste Authored by Nazih K. Shammas, this chapter delves into the defining features of hazardous industrial waste. It explores the chemical, physical, and biological properties that make these wastes challenging to manage. Through detailed analysis, readers gain a comprehensive understanding of why such wastes pose significant environmental and human health risks, as well as the importance of proper classification and treatment.

Chapter 2: Soil RemediationIoannis Paspaliaris, Nymphodora Papassiopi, Anthimos Xenidis, and Yung-Tse Hung collaborate in this chapter to discuss various methods for remediating contaminated soils. The authors examine techniques ranging from chemical treatments and bioremediation to advanced soil washing processes. Case studies provide practical examples of how these methods have been applied to restore polluted lands.

Chapter 3: Remediation of Soils Contaminated with MetalsNazih K. Shammas focuses specifically on the challenges associated with soils polluted by heavy metals. This chapter evaluates the unique characteristics of metal-contaminated sites and outlines advanced treatment methods. Topics include stabilization, solidification, and extraction processes designed to mitigate the environmental impact of metallic pollutants.

Chapter 4: Treatment of Wastes from the Metal Finishing IndustryIn this chapter, Nazih K. Shammas and Lawrence K. Wang discuss the environmental impacts of waste generated by metal finishing operations. They provide detailed descriptions of treatment processes such as electrochemical methods, precipitation, and filtration, emphasizing their effectiveness in removing harmful contaminants.

Chapter 5: Leachate Treatment Using Bioremediation Authored by Azni Idris, Katayon Saed, and Yung-Tse Hung, this chapter explores the application of bioremediation techniques for treating leachates from hazardous waste sites. The authors highlight microbial processes and the conditions required to optimize treatment, offering practical insights for waste management professionals.

Chapter 6: Remediation of Sites Contaminated by Hazardous WastesLawrence K. Wang, Nazih K. Shammas, Ping Wang, and Robert LaFleur address comprehensive strategies for remediating sites impacted by hazardous waste. Techniques discussed include in situ and ex situ methods, thermal treatment, and containment technologies. The chapter also includes practical examples from real-world remediation projects.

Chapter 7: Enzymatic Removal of Aqueous PentachlorophenolKhim Hoong Chu, Eui Yong Kim, and Yung-Tse Hung provide an in-depth analysis of using enzymatic methods to remove pentachlorophenol (PCP) from water. The chapter highlights the benefits of enzymatic treatments, including high specificity and reduced environmental impact, making them a promising option for industrial wastewater treatment.

Chapter 8: Remediation of Sites Contaminated by Underground Storage Tank ReleasesLawrence K. Wang, Nazih K. Shammas, Ping Wang, and Nicholas L. Clesceri tackle the remediation of sites affected by leaks from underground storage tanks. This chapter examines the environmental consequences of such contamination and evaluates remediation techniques like excavation, soil vapor extraction, and chemical oxidation.

Chapter 9: Biological Treatment Processes for Urea and Formaldehyde-Containing WastewaterAuthors José Luis Campos Gómez, Anuska Mosquera Corral, Ramón Méndez Pampín, and Yung-Tse Hung discuss biological treatment processes tailored for wastewater containing urea and formaldehyde. This chapter highlights microbial degradation pathways and innovative bioreactor designs that can effectively handle such specialized waste streams.
