The consumption of petroleum products has been significantly increasing year by year. Petroleum offers a tremendous convenience for our life, and our daily life would be quite different without it. However, the depletion of petroleum is creeping under our foot. Lignocellulosic biomass has unlimited potential because it is possible to substitute for petroleum as energy and chemical sources. Rece...

Among the various environmental issues, waste management is a foremost area where effectual and exhaustive consumption of wastes and attaining useful products in natal ways are concentrated. Cassava the tuber crop, exploited for starch and sago production.The aim of this work is management of cassava sago industrial waste, because its availability is vast particularly in salem. Bio ethanolhigh ...

Trace metals are intrinsic, natural constituents of our environment. Apart from the natural sources, several anthropogenic ones also contribute to metal concentrations in the environment. Some of the anthropogenic sources of the metals in the environment are: mining, smelting, production and use of the compounds and materials containing the metals, burning of fossil fuels, waste dumping and lea...

Introduction: Communicating about environmental health is an important commitment for the scientific community involved in studying contaminated sites. In the last decade, international and national organizations in the WHO European Region have proposed theoretical approaches and practices for adopting effective communication strategies in contaminated areas. Methods: The aim of this paper is t...

Xylanase execute a large variety of function and have many important in biotechnological application. Its application in paper industry, pulp industry, increases the self life of bread, food ndustry. The production of xylanase was investigated in submerged culture of Aspergillus niger. This study was carried out in isolation and screening of xylanase enzyme from the Aspergillus niger fungus. Th...

The Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL) is an 890 square mile multiprogram Department of Energy (DOE) laboratory in southeastern Idaho. Over the past 50 years, the laboratory has witnessed many significant scientific advances, particularly in the areas of nuclear propulsion, nuclear reactor safety and design, and waste management. As a result of this long history, va...

7 Additional bibliography 10 Testing the biodegradation behaviour of the materials using standard laboratory tests, including test development, circular testing Assessment of biodegradability of the materials and products under real-life conditions 28 Assessment of the (eco-)toxic effects of the materials or degradation products using standard laboratory tests 47 Studying the effect of various ...

The Theory of Waste Management is a unified body of knowledge about waste and waste management, and it is founded on the expectation that waste management is to prevent waste to cause harm to human health and the environment and promote resource use optimization. Waste Management Theory is to be constructed under the paradigm of Industrial Ecology as Industrial Ecology is equally adaptable to i...

The building of a sustainable society will require reduction of dependency on fossil fuels and lowering of the amount of pollution that is generated. Wastewater treatment is an area in which these two goals can be addressed simultaneously. As a result, there has been a paradigm shift recently, from disposing of waste to using it. There are several biological processing strategies that produce b...

A screening life cycle assessment (LCA) of tomato ketchup has been carried out. The purpose was to identify ‘hot-spots’, that is parts of the life-cycle that are important to the total environmental impact. The system investigated includes agricultural production, industrial refining, packaging, transportation, consumption and waste management. Energy use and emissions were quantified and some ...
