Abstract

Antimoon is een element dat, zeker in Europa, meer en meer in de kijker komt te staan. Overheden zijn immers overtuigd geraakt dat dit element een toxiciteit met zich meedraagt. Daarom moet de uitloging ervan uit vaste afvalstoffen beperkt blijven teneinde veilig storten ervan of recyclage te verzekeren. In mijn onderzoek richt ik mij hoofdzakelijk op alkalische afvalstoffen dewelke ontstaan in industriële processen op hoge temperatuur zoals bij afvalverbranding of metallurgie. Het is absoluut niet begrepen hoe antimoon zich gedraagt bij uitloging uit deze afvalstoffen. Daarom bestudeer ik elementaire interacties van antimoon met mineralen die voorkomen in deze afvalstoffen. Hiermee kan dan een mechanistisch moel opgesteld worden dat het gedrag van antimoon in alkalische afvalstoffen kan verklaren, gegeven een set van omgevingscondities. Met dit model kan dan inzichtelijk gewerkt worden naar behandelingsmethodieken voor alkalische vaste afvalstoffen. Antimony is an element in solid waste which is increasingly recieving attention, especially in Europe because policy makers are concieved of its intrinsic toxicity. Therefore, leaching of this element from solid waste has to stay limited in order to allow safe deposition or recycling. In my research, I focus on alkaline wasteforms which originate from high-temperature processes such as waste incineration or metallurgy. The leaching behaviour of antimony in these wasteforms is not understood. By studying the fundamental interaction of antimony with minerals occuring in these wastes, I develop thermodynamic models which can be used to mechanistically model its leaching behaviour given a set of environmental conditions. This model can than be used to develop treatment strategies to allow a broader use for alkaline wasteforms in e.g. construction applications.

Abstract

Controversies concerning the siting of facilities for the disposal and treatment of hazardous but also domestic waste are widespread in all of the industrialized countries. The paradoxical situation of projects that are needed for environmental reasons and are opposed on environmental grounds has been addressed by scholars and by policy-makers searching for solutions. However, only in a few cases have waste disposal facilities actually been built and made operational. The aim of the book (which illustrates the results of a research project financed by the EU-DGXII) is to investigate the decision-making processes for the siting and creation of waste facilities, in order to identify the factors for predicting success. Adopting a Public Policy Analysis approach the book presents six cases of successful decision-making on waste facilities siting in France, Italy, The Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland and Slovenia, drawing lessons for the redefinition of public policy-making in the field of waste treatment. The conclusions of this book are interesting for all fields of public policy where conflict is a relevant problem. This book is also of interest to scholars in the environmental field, as well as in public policy analysis, and to practitioners and (public or private) actors involved in environmental policy.
