Accelerated carbonation of municipal solid waste incineration residues
… Landfill is currently the most commonly used disposal option for these ash residues, however, the impact of hazardous compounds in these wastes on the environment during landfilling is becoming more widely appreciated and cheaper, alternative, management options need to be explored. In this …

Preliminary design and analysis for selected problems in deep borehole disposal of spent nuclear fuel
… interest in deep boreholes as a nuclear waste disposal option for all or part of the U.S. high-level waste inventory. Many design elements of deep borehole disposal have not yet been solidified, and there has not yet been a systematic analysis of the logistics necessary to implement deep …

A study of the current best practice in the Scottish electroplating industry and improved metal recovery technique for waste water streams.
… waste from one form to another, requiring a disposal option for the later. Reduction of secondary sources of pollution can be achieved when a comprehensive approach to waste management, preferably based on waste avoidance principle is adopted. This formed the basis of this research work. It …

Extending the frontier of the Nigerian insanity defence: comparative analyses of the insanity defence in England and Scotland to offer alternative options for development.
… for trial and sentencing. Moreover, the narrow disposal option affects the effectiveness of the defence. The relationship between the insanity defence and the mental health system needs strengthening. Legal development is necessary for a society to keep pace with the complexity and dynamism of …

Cosmic ray muons for spent nuclear fuel monitoring
… (at reactor) as currently there is no permanent disposal option. No alternative disposal path is available and storage of spent nuclear fuel in dry storage containers is anticipated for the near future. In this dissertation, a capability to monitor spent nuclear fuel stored within dry casks using …

Environmental evaluation of alternative options for the disposal of oily waste following a marine oil spill off the South African coast and development of a decision strategy
… Affairs, has revealed that alternative disposal methods for oily waste need to be investigated in order to cope effectively and timeously with a major oil spill. Current techniques dealing with oily waste disposal are reviewed. These include recovery for re-use, stabilisation of oily …

The influence of fly ash additions on acid mine drainage production from coarse coal refuse
… interest in returning ash to the coalfields for disposal. Bulk-blending alkaline fly ash with acid forming coal refuse may present a disposal option that aids in the control of acid mine drainage. A preliminary column leaching study examined the leachate quality from acid-forming coal refuse:fly …

DESALINATION TECHNOLOGIES AND ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS: CASE STUDY IN LIBYA
… is a clear indication of the impact of brine disposal from both plants on the marine environment. For most of coastal desalination plants on the Libyan coastline, the most practical and least expensive brine disposal option is to discharge it into the sea. It is necessary therefore, to …

Ion diffusion from Sellafield OPC paste formulations
The disposal of nuclear waste is highly regulated and the disposal option will be dependent on the radionuclide content of the waste. The encapsulation of nuclear waste to prevent migration of radionuclides into the environment and as a safe means of long term storage and disposal can be achieved …

Coupling source term, mineral reactivity and flow in radionuclide transport
The focus of this work is to investigate the dissolution of MW25, a non-radioactive simulant of UK high-level nuclear waste borosilicate glass, and to predict its performance in the near field of a geological repository. A single-pass flow-through (SPFT) experimental system was used to measure the …
