Waste Immobilization in Glass and Ceramic Based Hosts: Radioactive, Toxic and Hazardous Wastes
par Ian W. Donald

This book brings together all aspects of waste immobilization, draws comparisons between the different types of wastes and treatments, and outlines where lessons learnt by the nuclear industry may be usefully applied in the treatment of non-radioactive wastes. A wide range of topics is covered, including vitrification techniques, ceramic and glass-ceramic wasteforms, novel hosts, toxic and hazardous wastes, influence of microbial activity, and the treatment of new generation wastestreams. Waste Immobilization in Glass and Ceramic Based Hosts provides an up-to-date reference source at this critical time, when the need for low carbon energy sources has brought nuclear power back to the forefront, and non-radioactive toxic and hazardous wastes pose an increasing threat to the environment.
