Abstract
There are economic and regulatory incentives for considering alternatives to the direct land disposal of solvent-bearing hazardous waste streams (EPA Hazardous Waste Codes: F001, F002, F003, F004, and F005). These alternatives include recycle/reuse (including use as a fuel substitute), destruction of a stream's solvent component, and treatment prior to land disposal. This paper reviews these three waste management alternatives and discusses their applicability to solvent waste streams having various physical characteristics. Seven waste treatment techniques which may be used to handle solvent wastes are described: incineration, agitated thin-film evaporation, fractional distillation, steam stripping, wet oxidation, carbon adsorption, and activated sludge biological treatment.Keywords
