Management of industrial waste and cost analysis

Zhang, Runxiao; Qureshi, Tanvir; Panesar, Daman

Abstract

The increase in the global demands of industrial products leads to the increase in the produced wastes. This chapter reviews the management of three general categories of industrial wastes/byproducts: coal-burning ash (fly ash and bottom ash), iron and steel slags and silica fume, from the aspects of (1) origin; (2) chronological and geographical quantity changes; (3) chemical and physical properties; (4) handling, disposal, and/or storage; and (5) environmental challenges. China, as the largest developing country, contributes most increasing momentum of the industrial products and wastes. Disposing and/or storage of industrial wastes are usually reported to contaminate neighboring environments with high risk. Hence, understanding the trend of the global industrial waste production quantity and physiochemical properties are vital for efficient management of wastes to mitigate the environmental impacts.
