The treatment technology processes included in the summary relate to technology which is available and applicable to hazardous waste disposal now. That is, further research is not required for application in the field. What remains is to apply the technology and derive the necessary design parameters and the costs for large-scale application. These derivations require, as a minimum, pilot-scale and more appropriately full-scale application at waste disposal sites and generator locations. The purpose of making these briefs available is to remind the reader that processes and techniques are available and to encourage a search for additional information. Information in the briefs is not sufficient to permit direct evaluation of a process or technology. For evaluations involving specific sites or waste streams, the reader should consult sources that provide operational, effectiveness, and cost data.
