Electrotechnologies for waste and water treatment: Final report

This work identifies and examines the use of electrotechnologies in the treatment of solid and liquid wastes. The types of wastes studied were divided into five major classifications: (1) municipal solid wastes, (2) municipal wastewater, (3) nonhazardous industrial wastes, (4) hazardous industrial wastes and (5) nuclear wastes. Within each category, information was gathered on the quantities of waste generated, types of wastes generated, current disposal or treatment technologies, research on promising treatment technologies, and energy usage for current and promising technologies. Information in the above areas was also put together for the topics of drinking water and resource recovery. 71 refs., 71 figs., 91 tabs.
