Determine, using the procedures outlined by RCRA, if each of the following is a hazardous waste. State the reason why it is or is not a hazardous waste. If it is a hazardous waste, list the RCRA waste category number. Assume that the industry producing the waste is a RCRA hazardous waste generator.

a.Soil on the industrial property contaminated by the spill of a 5-gallon (18.9 L) container of endrin.

b.A drum of off-specification ethyl acetate that is to be disposed of.

c.Cement kiln waste.

d.Sawdust in a warehouse contaminated by a spill of pentachlorobenzene.

e.Distillation bottoms from aniline production.

f.Sludge from the treatment of water from the chemical conversion coating of aluminum.

g.1000 Kg of commercial beryllium (pure) that are to be discarded because the company that purchased this chemical originally doesn’t need it anymore.

h.An aqueous industrial waste stream from a plastic manufacturing plant that is discharged to a river.

i.A drum of sulfuric acid at pH 0.50.

j.A drum of waste 20% perchloroethylene.

k.Spent cyanide plating bath solutions from electroplating operations. .

l.Wastewater treatment sludge from the production of zinc yellow pigments. .

1. Explain the basic treatment categories for hazardous waste. 2. Determine the compacted waste to soil ratio (by volume) for an assumed compacted waste density of 500 kg/m3. The design disposal rate is 60 tons per day. The cell height and width will be 3.0 m and 5.0 m respectively. Take the slope of working faces as 3 horizontal to 1 vertical. The prescribed daily soil cover thickness is to be 200 mm. 3. It is mandatory that a civil...

Does the amount of hazardous material absorbed by the bodies of hazardous waste workers depend on gender? You want to test the hypotheses that the amount absorbed by men (group 1) is different from the amount absorbed by women (group 2). A random sample of 212 male workers and 114 female workers showed an average lead absorption in the blood of 12.59 (SD = 1.897) and 12.75 (SD = 0.621), respectively (measured in micrograms/deciliter). Assuming that the population standard deviations...

An article in the journal Hazardous Waste and Hazardous Materials (Vol. 6, 1989) reported the results of an analysis of the weight of calcium in standard cement and cement doped with lead. Reduced levels of calcium would indicate that the hydration mechanism in the cement is blocked and would allow water to attack various locations in the cement structure. Ten samples of standard cement had an average weight percent calcium of 90.0, with a sample standard deviation of 5.0 and...
