Environmental Issues and Waste Management Technologies in the Ceramic and Nuclear Industries X


Book Description

These proceedings capture advances in the state of knowledge in nuclear and waste materials science and technology. In addition, the proceedings addresses the environmental issues associated with ceramic processing. Included are the status of environmental issues and their solutions, both current and proposed.




Environmental Issues and Waste Management Technologies in the Ceramic and Nuclear Industries XI


Book Description

This proceedings contains papers presented at the Ceramic/Glass Science and Technology for Nuclear and Environmental Industries symposium. Topics include nuclear and environmental technology applications in the ceramic industry; nuclear waste forms and fuels processing and technology - ceramic forms; nuclear waste forms processing and technology - steam reforming; panel discussion on nuclear waste forms durability, testing, and disposal status; nuclear waste forms and fuels processing and technology - glass forms; and advances in nuclear waste form testing and characterization methods.




Environmental Issues and Waste Management Technologies in the Materials and Nuclear Industries XII


Book Description

This book documents a special collection of articles from a select group of invited prominent scientists from academia, national laboratories and industry who presented their work at the symposia on Environmental and Energy Issues at the 2008 Materials Science and Technology (MS&T’08) conference held in Pittsburgh, PA. These articles represent a summary of the presentations focusing on topics in nuclear, environmental, and green engineering were held, including a discussion of Waste Glass Leach Testing and Modeling.




Environmental Issues and Waste Management Technologies in the Ceramic and Nuclear Industries II


Book Description

The 52 contributions explore technical issues involving the use of ceramic materials in the storage of nuclear waste. The main themes are vitrification operations and testing, waste form modeling, the development of alternative waste forms, environmental solutions, waste form durability, cement wast




Environmental Issues and Waste Management Technologies in the Ceramic and Nuclear Industries VIII


Book Description

Papers in this volume illustrate the delicate balance that exists among the environment, the processes/technologies that have been used in glass and ceramic industries, as well as the wastes - both nuclear and non-nuclear (hazardous) - that have been generated. This book helps to foster continued scientific understanding, technological growth, and environmental stewardship within the fields of ceramics, glass, and environmental/nuclear engineering. Proceedings of the symposium held at the 104th Annual Meeting of The American Ceramic Society, April 28-May1, 2002 in Missouri; Ceramic Transactions, Volume 143.




Environmental and Waste Management Issues in the Ceramic Industry II


Book Description

Presents papers from a symposium on environmental and waste management issues in the ceramic industry at the April 1994 meeting. Topics include waste management/environmental solutions using ceramics, modeling and mechanisms of waste form dissolution, properties and characteristics of wastes and was










Environmental Issues and Waste Management Technologies in the Ceramic and Nuclear Industries IX


Book Description

In today's world of increasingly stringent environmental regulations, it is critical to identify and adequately address environmental issues in the ceramic industry to ensure success. In addition, ceramics and glasses play a critical role in the nuclear industry. Nuclear fuels and waste forms for low-level and high-level radioactive, mixed, and hazardous wastes are primarily either ceramic of glass. Effective and responsible environmental stewardship is becoming increasingly more important in the world. These proceedings detail the results of the ongoing effort in these areas. Proceedings of the symposium held at the 105th Annual Meeting of The American Ceramic Society, April 27-30, in Nashville, Tennessee; Ceramic Transactions, Volume 155.
