PREFACE
The 41st Industrial Waste Conference was sponsored by the School of Civil Engineering of Purdue
University.
Ninety-six technical papers were presented during the three days of the conference. Five papers were
presented but not submitted for publication.
The papers are divided into the following 14 sections: Pretreatment Programs and Systems,
Physical/Biological Systems, Hazardous/Toxic Wastes, Pulp and Paper Mill Wastes, Dairy Wastes,
Plating Wastes, Oilfield and Gas Pipeline Wastes, Food Wastes, Coal, Coke, and Power Plant
Wastes, Dye Wastes, Landfill Leachate, Metal Wastes, Laws, Regulations, and Training, and Miscel-
laneous.
As indicated in the table of contents, numerous papers at this year's conference dealt with the topics
of PHYSICAL/BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS (Section 2) and HAZARDOUS/TOXIC WASTES (Sec-
tion 3).
The conference keynote speaker was Dr. Betsy Ancker-Johnson, Vice President, Environmental
Activities Staff, General Motors Technical Center, Warren, Michigan. Dr. Ancker-Johnson empha-
sized that pollution control must take a multi-media approach, even though laws and regulations are
primarily single-media based; e.g., Clean Water Act, Clean Air Act, etc. She presented the General
Motors approach in this regard by citing several examples of "at-source" control on manufacturing
processes and improvement of material use efficiency to minimize waste generation.
A duo, called "Echo," from Lafayette, Indiana, entertained the audience with various musical
selections at the conference banquet. At the luncheon on Thursday, Harry L. Stout, Professor of
Foreign Languages and Literature at Purdue University, made a presentation entitled: "Sherlock
Holmes Decoded."
At the end of this proceedings is a comprehensive 10-year index (current and previous volumes).
This index is cross-referenced by author and various subjects for the utility of the reader.
The efforts of all who gave freely of their time toward the success of the 41st Purdue Industrial
Waste Conference are gratefully acknowledged.
