Abstract |
The report gives results of an assembly, review, evaluation, and reporting of data from research and development, as well as commercial activities, as of mid-1980 in the areas of: flue gas cleaning (FGC) waste disposal/utilization; and power plant water management, including recycle/treatment and reuse. The purpose of these activities was to assist EPA in conducting an on-going research and development program in these two areas. The report focuses on: (1) evaluation of the technical, regulatory, economic, and environmental aspects of FGC waste disposal/utilization options (recommendations were made on measures to fill information gaps, including research to develop additional data); and (2) evaluation of the technical, regulatory, engineering/economic, and environmental aspects of power plant water recycle/treatment/reuse. Again, recommendations were made to cover gaps existing in 1980. |
