A. John Chandler, T. Taylor Eighmy, Jan Hartlén, Ole Hjelmar, David S. Kosson, Steven E. Sawell, Hans A. van der Sloot and Jürgen Vehlow (Eds.)0444825630, 9780444825636

This text covers a broad spectrum of topics pertinent to the management of incinerator residues. Background information includes a history of incineration, and the influence of municipal waste composition, incinerator type air pollution control technologies on residue quality. Physical, chemical and leaching characteristics for the various ash streams are described, along with recommended sampling and evaluation methodologies. Residue handling and management options, including, treatment utilisation and disposal are also discussed in detail.
