Description

This book presents the state-of-the-art for hydrometallurgical separation of nonferrous metals from industrial wastes and deals with interrelationships with pollution control regulations, management options for minimizing contingent liability on the part of the generator, economics, and the role of resource conservation. The book also discusses the commercial potential for metal recovery from metal oxide and hydroxide wastes, as well as future prospects for commercial aspects of waste recovery. "Metal Recovery from Industrial Waste" serves as an excellent introduction for nonspecialists and contains extensive literature coverage (from 1980-1990) that will prove valuable to specialists working in separation technology. Industrial managers, engineers, and scientists involved with development of metal recovery technology and hazardous waste disposal alternatives; industrial consultants; government personnel; legislative officials; educators; and environmentalists will find a wealth of information regarding this critical environmental field.
