1.1Introduction
Therearenumberoffactories,industries,mills,miningplants,etc. throughouttheworld.Theseindustriesproducefinishedgoodsforconsumersfromrawmaterials.However,intheprocessofmanufacturing, by-productsareformedwhichareconsidereduseless [1,2].Theyconstitutetheindustrialwaste.Inaddition,thereareagriculturalwastes,municipalsolidwaste,andhazardouswastes.Withurbanizationandfaster economicdevelopmentalneed,allkindofwastesarebeinggenerated heavily.Wasteisoftensubjective“(becausewhatiswastetooneneed notnecessarilybewastetoanother).”BaselConventionbyUNEPdefines wastes“assubstancesorobjects,whicharedisposedoforareintendedto bedisposedoforarerequiredtobedisposedofbytheprovisionsof nationallaw.”Industrialwastesmaybesolid,semisolid,liquid,andgaseous.Everyyear,hugeamountofindustrialwastesareproducedand becomeathreattoenvironmentandhumanhealth.Becauseofnonavailabilityofappropriatetechnologies,developingcountriesfacemajorproblemsindisposalandmanagementofindustrialwaste.Outofdifferent wastes,solidwastessuchasmunicipalandindustrialwastesposelotof problemsfromdifferentpointofview.

Commonlydiscardedwastesbythepublicareknownasmunicipal solidwastes(MSWs).Thesematerialsarelawnfurniture,packagingmaterials,clothingmaterials,cuttings,bottles/glasses,electricappliances,food scraps,batteries,newspapers,paint,etc. [3].
Outofdifferenttypesofsolidwastes,industrialsolidwastes(ISW) haveattractedalot.ISWincludesalltypesofreusable,nonreusable,hazardous,nonhazardous,recyclable,andnonrecyclablewastes [4,5].Despite differentregulationsandprecautions,ISWgenerationisincreasingwitha veryfastrate.Attemptsarebeingmadetominimizewasteproducts.The end-of-lifeforanywasteproductisrelatedtoitsvolume,andavailable collectionandprocessinginfrastructure.Wasteshouldbemanagedin orderof“(i)prevention;(ii)preparingforre-use;(iii)recycling; (iv)otherrecovery,e.g.,energyrecovery;and(v)disposal.”However, themajorwaystominimizeISWarerecycle(1stR),reuse(2ndR),and reduce(3rdR)(Fig.1.1) [1].ThethreeRconceptsconsidereconomics,naturalresourcesavings,andenergysavings,henceresultinminimizingthe obtainedISWandtheirhealthandenvironmentalimpactandthewastes. Inthischapter,generation,characterization,management,anduseofdifferentindustrialsolidwasteshavebeendiscussedindetail.
1.2ClassificationofISW
ISWscanbedividedintofourcategoriesdependingontheirnature, pollutioncharacteristics,sectorsandprocessasdiscussedbelow.
FIG.1.1 Reducing,reusingandrecyclingofwastes [1].
1.2.1Accordingtonature
TheISWbasedonthenaturehasbeenclassifiedinto(i)organicand (ii)inorganicindustrialsolidwastes(OISW,IISW).OISWcontains organiccompoundsandaregeneratedinnumberofindustrieslikeoil extraction,painting,tanning,dyeing,foodpreservation,watertreatment stationsandplasticindustries.T heOISWquantityandtheirphysical shapedependonthetechnologiesusedandthesource.Thesourceof OISWisarrangedinthefollowingorder:“Watertreatmentstations <woodmanufactories < oilextraction < plastic,foodpreservation < painting,dyingandtanning.”TheOISWswithpolymericnatureareproduced fromplasticandorganicchemicalmanufacturingindustries.OISW,of herbalnature,isobtainedfromwasteproducedfromwood,food preservation,andoilextractionindustries [1].TheIISWsaregenerated fromindustriessuchasceramic,cement,andgranitemanufacturing. Thedustsgeneratedincementindustriesareveryhazardoussolid waste.Ingeneral,IISWsaremorehazardousthanOISWs.Theamount ofIISWsgeneratedfromindustriesisarrangedinthesequence “cement < ceramic < graniteandmarble.”
1.2.2Perpollutioncharacteristics
TheISWsarehazardousandnonhazardous.ThehazardousISWs (HISWs)needspecialactionaspercharacteristics.HISWsposevarious typesofenvironmentalandhealthproblemsandsotheyarestoredand treatedinaspecialwaydependingontheirhazardousnature.TheNonhazardousISWs(NHISW)donotrequireanyspecialconsiderations.They canbereusedorrecycled.
1.2.3Accordingtoindustrialsectors
Thesesolidwastescanbedividedintofivecategories:(i)miningindustriessolidwaste(MISW),(ii)metallurgicalindustrysolidwaste(MEISW), (iii)chemicalindustriessolidwaste(CISW),solidwastesfromfoodpreservationindustries(FISW),and(v)solidwastesfromconstruction industries.
1.2.4Industrialprocess
Asperindustrialprocess,wasteisclassifiedtofiredISW(FISW)and unfiredISW(UFISW).AllFISWsareobtainedbyfiring.Theexamplesarefired steelwaste,firedceramicwaste,cementdustandfiredbrickswaste [1].All UFISWsareobtainedwithoutfiring.Theexamplesaregraniteandmarble waste,foodpreservationwaste,wastefrompaperindustryandunfired

1.3Wastesfromdifferentindustries:Generation,properties anduses
Inthissectionsomeimportantsolidwastesfromdifferentindustries havebeendiscussed.
1.3.1Coalflyash(FA)
Flyash(FA),alsoknownaspulverizedfuelash(PFA),isafinepowder obtainedfromthecombustionofpowderedcoalinelectricgenerating plant.Temperaturemayexceed1600°Cduringburningprocessand maymeltmostoftheinorganicmaterialspresentinthecoal.Theinorganic matterpresentinitgetsfusedduringcombustionofcoal.Afterorduring combustion,mineralmatterswithinthecoalorexcluded,liquefy,vaporize,condenseoragglomerate [6].Amorphousandsphericalparticlesof FAareobtainedbyrapidcoolinginthepostcombustionzoneduetosurfacetension.FAproducedfromthermalpowerplantsareinlargequantitiesandcreatepollution.ByreusingFA,environmentalpollutioncanbe minimized.FlyashesobtainedfromdifferentvarietyofcoalshavedifferentcompositionsandaregenerallyTantodarkgray.
1.3.1.1ClassificationofFA
TherearetwogradesofFAbasedonIS3812–1981.Flyash-Iisobtained frombituminouscoalwithSiO2 +Al2O3 +Fe2O3 70%,whereasflyash-II isobtainedfromlignitecoalwithSiO2 +Al2O3 +Fe2O3 50%.Asper ASTMC618,ClassCandClassFFAhavebeenspecifiedbasedoncoal typeandthechemicalcomposition.ClassCflyashhasCaOhigherthan 10%andhascementitiousaswellaspozzolanicpropertiesandnormally obtainedfromthecombustionofligniteorsubbituminouscoals.Class Fflyash,obtainedfromthecombustionofbituminousorananthracite coalwithCaObelow10%,haspozzolanicproperties.
1.3.1.2PhysicalpropertiesofFA
SomeofthephysicalpropertiesofFAsuchasbulkdensity,specific gravity,plasticity,freeswellindex,porosity,surfacearea,limereactivity, coefficientofuniformity,optimummoisturecontent,shearstrengthfrictionangle,etc.aregivenin Table1.1[7].

1.3.1.4CharacterizationofFA
ThemostcommontechniquesforcharacterizationofFAareX-raydiffraction,FTIR,andscanningelectronmicroscopic(SEM)techniques.X-ray diffractionpatternofFAgenerallyshowsbroadhalobandbetween 2θ ¼ 22° –35° duetoamorphousnature [8].Variousothercrystallinephases suchasmullite(M),ironoxide(Fe)(hematiteand/ormagnetite),and
