E-book: Survey of Chemical Spill Countermeasures [Taylor & Francis e-book]

Provides operators with useful information on how to clean up sites, including controlling leakage, containment of spills on land and water, and ways to safely transfer and store the contaminants. Coverage includes containment and treatment technologies ranging from dredging and vacuuming to solid and vapor treatment systems; information on known commercial products used to clean up or neutralize chemical spills; contact information for products not reviewed; and mechanical equipment and technologies currently used in chemical clean-up and remediation.

Until now, information regarding chemical spill clean-up was available only through manufacturer's literature from an individual firm, or scattered in the traditional textbooks on remediation engineering and hazardous waste management. Survey of Chemical Spill Countermeasures provides a one-stop source of information on how to clean up spill sites in safe, acceptable ways. Because of the ever-growing need to maintain constant vigilance over hazardous chemicals and potential leaks and spills, this reference will become an important source for the practicing environmental engineer and field technician.
