Strategies in Hazardous Waste Minimization Used Outside the U.S.
Abstract
Foreign nations may have more to offer of innovative governmental approaches to environmental problems than is generally appreciated in the U.S. This paper reports on a study of approaches to promote hazardous waste minimization among leading industrial nations. In each of the nations, Japan, Denmark, Sweden, West Germany, The Netherlands, and Canada at least one unique innovation was discovered. Some of these might be adapted for use in the U.S. and, especially, the less confrontational government/industry interface could be of value here.
The first chemically bonded phosphate ceramics (zinc phosphate dental cements) were developed over a century ago. However it has only been in the last 30 years that a new breed of materials has been discovered. This book brings together latest developments in this field including several novel ceramics, from Argonne and Brookhaven National Laboratories. Coupled with further advances in their use as biomaterials, these materials have found uses in diverse fields in recent years. Applications range from advanced structural materials to oil-well cements and stabilization and encapsulation of hazardous and radioactive waste. Such developments call a single source for their science and applications. This book provides the first comprehensive account to fulfil this need.
