Management of Hazardous Residues Containing Cr(VI) Book

Understanding the risks of hexavalent chromium is essential for environmental safety and regulatory compliance. Residues containing Cr(VI) are classified as toxic and hazardous by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Because rainwater can cause these residues to leach, they pose a serious threat of groundwater contamination if landfilled without proper treatment. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of research regarding Cr(VI) residues. It synthesizes information on the minimization, recovery, recycling, and inertisation of these hazardous materials. By exploring past research and current methodologies, this text offers a clear view of where the field is headed. It serves as a valuable resource for those studying waste and waste management, providing the technical context needed to handle toxic residues effectively and protect natural resources.
