Hazardous waste minimization is one of the most pressing environmental issues facing the U.S. Army depots today. The U.S. Army Toxic and Hazardous Materials Agency (USATHARA) conducts research and development to support Army depots in developing programs and technologies to reduce the generation of hazardous waste. Degreasing and chemical paint removal processes at Army depots generate significant quantities of hazardous waste. Fluidized-bed paint stripping (FBPS), which has the potential to ...
The U.S. Army Toxic and Hazardous Materials Agency (USATHAMA) conducts research and development projects with the objective of minimizing hazardous waste generation at Army Depots. During one such project, USATHAMA evaluated the feasibility of an Aluminum Ion Vapor Deposition System as an alternative to cadmium electroplating. The test program was conducted at Anniston Army Depot, Anniston, Alabama. IT Environmental Programs, Inc. was USATHAMA's contractor for this program. The Aluminum Ion ...
