Preface
The present book deals with the state-of-the-art research studies and technological developments in modeling trends and remediation of solid and hazardous waste management of various categories. Hazardous waste is a waste that creates substantial or potential threats to general health of public. Hazardous wastes are defined under RCRA in 40 CFR 261, according to which they have been divided into two major categories as characteristic hazardous and listed hazardous wastes. Characteristic hazardous wastes are materials that are tested for exhibiting four hazardous traits such as ignitability, reactivity, corrosivity, and toxicity. The hazardous wastes are materials listed by the regulatory authorities and connoted as hazardous wastes. These are from nonspecific sources, specific sources, or discarded chemical wastes. The various types of case studies discussed in this book include hospital waste which is an important type of urban waste. The waste from utilization and exploitation of energy resources enhances th
