Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Deep Injection Disposal of Hazardous and Industrial Waste is the first text to bring together scientific and engineering aspects of deep well injection techniques in light of increasingly stringent environmental regulation. This text considers important aspects of modern deep well injection, including regulatory matters, the design and construction of injection wells, well testing, hydrologic modeling, and monitoring and predicting interactions of the waste with the rocks into which they are injected. The experiences of experts from many countries provide a global perspective on this environmentally important topic. One of the unique highlights of the book is the presentation of Russian research findings on the deep disposal of high-level liquid radioactive waste. Key Features * Presents a global view of deep injection waste disposal * Coverage emphasizes continued monitoring of injection sites * Provides case studies from many countries * Considers new technology for injecting solid waste as slurries * First text to present Russian experiences with hazardous waste disposal Book News Annotation:During the past 50 years, many industries have been disposing of
hazardous and industrial liquid wastes in sedimentary formations deep
below the earth's surface. This volume grew out of a May 1994
international symposium on the scientific and engineering aspects of
deep injection disposal of hazardous and industrial wastes. Divided
into eight sections, the volume first covers some topics from the
regulatory perspective followed by principles and criteria affecting
the optimal siting and operation of disposal wells. Subsequent
sections cover engineering aspects of well design and placement; well
testing and model development; well performance monitoring; aspects
of the chemical processes affecting the fate of the waste in the
subsurface environment; the philosophy and implementation of
radioactive waste disposal practices in the former Soviet Union; and
novel technologies concerned with the disposal of hazardous waste
slurries by deep-well injection.
