Abstract | The aerospace industry generates a broad array of air emissions and hazardous waste solids, liquids, and sludges during the processing of aluminum, titanium, composites, and other materials into aircraft and other system components. Due to the maturity of the manufacturing facilities in this industry, most of the chemical manufacturing processes incorporate 20- to 30-year-old technology and hardware. Environmental and chemical process experts from the leading aerospace manufacturers have convened annually since 1986 to exchange information on waste reduction R&D and waste management strategies. |
