Stabilization and solidification (S/S) technologies have been used for decades as a final treatment step prior to the disposal of radioactive and chemically hazardous wastes. STP 1240 provides you with the latest technical exchange of S/S information available from both of these scientific communities.

The majority of papers addresses leachability and durability, the two principal issues associated with long-term containment prospects of waste treated with this technology. 47 papers in 7 sections cover: Basic Considerations in the Application of Vitrification Technologies • Organic Wastes • Mechanisms of Containment • Process Technology Development and Evaluation (Parts I and II) • Emerging Technologies • Field Application and Full-Scale Testing.

For remedial cleanup contractors, hazardous waste treatment and cleaning consultants, professors and researchers of hazardous waste.
