| Abstract: | In this paper, the authors present generation and treatment information for corrosive hazardous wastes (EPA Hazaradous Waste Codes D002 and K062). The authors discuss the state of the art for several treatment trains used to process specific types of corrosive waste. Treatment trains incorporate various unit processes selected from but not limited to the following: neutralization, filtration, carbon adsorption, biological oxidation, distillation, air flotation, and incineration. Unit processes are selected to form trains according to the corrosive characteristics of each individual waste stream. The treatment processes discussed are proposed to be used instead of landfills for disposal of corrosive waste. |
