Geochemical Aspects of Waste Disposal
… means applicable to conditions encountered at a waste disposal site. In addition the possibility of finding a catalyst which may promote chemical reactions of phenol to afford less environmentally problematic compounds was investigated. Attention was devoted to catalysts which may be supported on …

Subsurface discontinuity analysis & modeling for the federal waste disposal facility and compact waste disposal facility landfills
This research considers discontinuities mapped by Waste Control Specialists LLC to support the site conditions and performance analysis of the Compact Waste Disposal Facility and the Federal Waste Disposal Facility excavations constructed near Andrews, Texas. Discontinuities observed in excavation …

Characterization of pozzolanic cement for radioactive waste disposal
… for permanently encasing high-level radioactive waste (HLW) and spent-nuclear fuel (SNF) in disposal canisters. This particular cement was produced by mixing lime or portland cement with volcanic tuff, a natural pozzolanic material extracted from Yucca Mountain, Nevada; Portland-pozzolan and …

Minor actinide waste disposal in deep geological boreholes
… purpose of this investigation was to evaluate a waste canister design suitable for the disposal of vitrified minor actinide waste in deep geological boreholes using conventional oil/gas/geothermal drilling technology. The nature of minor actinide waste was considered, paying particular attention …

First principles simulation of cement for nuclear waste disposal
The immobilization of wastes that arise from the decommissioning of the UK civil nuclear program is a significant challenge facing both industry and researchers. The current plan for nuclear industry is to dispose of wastes within a deep underground facility and to use cement to immobilise many of …

Aspects of medical waste disposal in the Cape Peninsula
Hazardous waste management practices at ten medical institutions in Cape Town were studied and tests undertaken to determine concentrations of specific chemicals and radioactivity in liquid effluent outflows, as well as emissions from incinerators. To investigate the sewage outflow for Chemical …

Analysis and evaluation of three promising nuclear waste disposal options
Disposal of high level nuclear waste has evoked much interest among scientists, engineers and society at large. Numerous schemes have been proposed in this regard and a few have been analyzed thoroughly. However, these schemes have been found to be valid only under very specific environmental …

Effective thermal conductivity measurements relevant to deep borehole nuclear waste disposal
… proposed for use in and around canisters for disposal of high level nuclear waste in deep boreholes. This information is required to insure that waste temperatures will not exceed tolerable limits. Such experimental verification is essential because analytical models and empirical correlations …

A preliminary investigation of the potential for deep well waste disposal
… projections indicate that the volume of wastes generated by population and economic growth in the near future will be very large and the cost of treating it by standard methods will be extremely high. Hence, all possible systems and methods of waste disposal must be considered and ways of …

Feasibility of an Integrated Thin Seam Coal Mining and Waste Disposal System
The depletion of more attractive thicker and easily accessible coal seams in the central Appalachia will direct attention towards the extraction of coal seams thinner than 28 in. This thesis investigates the feasibility of an integrated mining and backfilling system applicable to thin seams. Two …
