Methods of and systems for treating incinerated waste
One method of treating incinerated waste comprises: size separating at least some of the incinerated waste into a first undersize fraction comprising particles smaller than the first separation size and into a first oversize fraction comprising particles larger than the first separation size; size reducing at least some of the first oversize fraction; size separating at least some of the size-reduced first oversize fraction into a second undersize fraction comprising particles smaller than the second separation size and into a second oversize fraction comprising particles larger than the second separation size; combining at least some of the first undersize fraction and at least some of the second undersize fraction into a fine fraction; and extracting metal from at least some of the fine fraction. Another method of treating incinerated waste comprises extracting metal by froth flotation from at least some of the incinerated waste. Systems are also disclosed.
Metallated metal-organic frameworks
Porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and metallated porous MOFs are provided. Also provided are methods of metallating porous MOFs using atomic layer deposition and methods of using the metallated MOFs as catalysts and in remediation applications.
Removing Toxic Chemicals from Contaminated Surfaces
A process comprising: contacting an item with a dry media to remove a first portion of a chemical warfare agent from the item; contacting the item with solvent to contaminate the solvent with a second portion of the chemical warfare agent from the item; and removing the contaminated solvent from the item. A device comprising: a first side comprising a dry media applicator to remove a first portion of a chemical warfare agent from an item; and a second side comprising an absorptive material to remove a solvent contaminated with a second portion of a chemical warfare agent from the item, wherein the first and second sides are of a unitary whole.

Removal of elements from coal fly ash
A method for removing elements, including heavy metals, from fly ash and from fly ash resulting from removal of SO.sub.x/NO.sub.x from flue gas using Na.sub.2CO.sub.3/NaHCO.sub.3/trona, is described. An aqueous suspension of the fly ash and/or a solution of the leachate from the fly ash is treated with dissolved ferrous compounds, such as FeSO.sub.4.7H.sub.2O and/or FeCl.sub.2.4H.sub.2O, at a chosen initial acidic pH, and the precipitation of the ferrous ions as the solution basifies sequesters the trace elements.

PORTABLE WET DRILLING WASTE TREATMENT
Portable wet drilling waste treatment. In one example embodiment, a method for portable wet drilling waste treatment may include transporting a transportable frame, maneuvering an open end of a waste conduit, vacuuming air and the wet drilling waste, using a motor-driven vacuum, into the open end of the waste conduit, through the waste conduit, and into a cyclonic separator, separating the wet drilling waste from the air using the cyclonic separator, using a waste auger to transport the wet drilling waste, using a treatment material auger to transport a treatment material, operating the waste auger and the treatment material auger at coordinated rates to transport an effective ratio of the wet drilling waste to the treatment material, using a mixing auger to simultaneously transport the wet drilling waste and the treatment material, and operating the mixing auger at an effective rate resulting in a solidified treated material.
