KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, that the undersigned,
a director and (or) officer of Harsco Corporation,
a Delaware corporation (the "Company") does hereby nominate,
constitute and appoint F. Nicholas Grasberger, III,
A. Verona Dorch and Katja Demeter-Fitzgerald, or any one of
them, his or her true and lawful attorneys and agents to do
any and all acts and things and execute and file any and all
instruments which said attorneys and agents, or either of them,
may deem necessary or advisable to enable the undersigned (in his
or her individual capacity or in a fiduciary or any other capacity)
to comply with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "Act"), and any requirements of the Securities and Exchange
Commission in respect thereof, in connection with the preparation,
execution and filing of any report or statement of beneficial

ratifying and confirming all that said attorneys and agents, or any of

This authorization shall supersede all prior authorizations to act for
