Sustainability in pelletizing iron ore through the Industrial Ecology and Cleaner Production Program

“integrating Cleaner Production into Sustainability

Bacterial Cellulose biosynthesis is one of the most important applied biochemical processes in biology. In order to explain the detailed molecular events of bacterial cellulose biosynthesis, we discuss in this work, the different steps required for bacterial cellulose formation and crystallization from sugar cane and honey. The potential of organisms to produce biocellulose fibers was analyzed....

Expansion and Modernization of an Iron Ore Pelletizing Plant in Northern Sweden

The paper describes the main drive systems of an iron ore pelletizing plant and related important design aspects. It is shown how today’s drive systems provide the desired flexibility for the process and lead to high energy efficiency and system reliability. With respect to electric drives expansion projects have many technical issues in common with green-field installations. However, there are...

INDUSTRIAL ECOLOGY IN ASIA Transitions to Sustainability in Production-Consumption Systems

East Asia is the manufacturing belt, garden, and kitchen of the world. It is also the woodlot and toilet. Many of the natural resources and materials that are required as inputs into the production of export commodities are extracted at low prices from the developing countries of the region. At the same time the region’s oceans, soils, and atmosphere are drains and dumps for waste and pollution.
