OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between residential district of people, such as power plant, steel-mill and petrochemical industries, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). METHODS Using a cross-sectional study design, we randomly recruited participants for our study from industrial areas (thermoelectric power plant, steel-mill, petrochemical industry) and rural ...

Iceland and Trinidad and Tobago are small open, high-income island economies with very specific resource-use patterns. This article presents a material flow analysis (MFA) for the two countries covering a time period of nearly five decades. Both countries have a narrow domestic resource base, their economy being largely based on the exploitation of one or two key resources for export production...

The oil industry needs solid and reliable materials in almost all processes. By making nano-scale materials, lighter, more robust, and more robust equipment than today's products can be produced. Nanotechnology in the field of oil industry and its related industries, in addition to reducing the environmental hazards of this sector and the possibility of saving from harvesting of underground res...

The article presents the results of a study aimed at substantiating need to develop principles sustainable development in oil and gas sector economy, which, turn, determines change raw commodity material model economic transition ESG all enterprises within industry ensure targets concept development. search for new ways manage added value economy is determined by shift interests towards renewab...

Organizational performance evaluation is a very vital and sensitive process in any industry. One of the most crucial aspects of performance assessment is consideration of financial performance evaluation. In this kind of evaluation, we face many criteria and index to performing and also designing a comprehensive and effective model. Thus, this situation can be regarded as a fuzzy multiple crite...

Application of price mechanisms has been the important instrument for carbon reduction, among which the carbon tax has been frequently advocated as a cost-effective economic tool. However, blanket taxes applied to all industries in a country might not always be fair or successful. It should therefore be implemented together with other economic tools, such as emission trading, for CO2 reduction....

Crystallization processes are used across the chemical, petrochemical and pharmaceutical industries. In the chemical industry, the potash and caustic industries use crystallization as a means to produce bulk chemicals and also as a separation technology for purification. The fine chemical and specialty chemical industries use crystallization processes to produce various high-value organic compo...

The article describes the application of plasma in production industrial pigments. Plasmatrons, or cooled electrodes, have found practical use chemical, petrochemical, metallurgical, and other industries. Plasma-chemical methods with plasmatrons yielding high-quality pigments, e.g. titanium dioxide. disadvantage is dilution outgoing chlorine inert gases, which reduces service life plasmatrons. ...

conclusions according to the findings, there has been a rise in the number of unsafe actions in machinery and maintenance service units compared to other maintenance units. as such, training courses based on the behavior-based safety principles at the beginning of employment, close monitoring of health safety environment (hse) officials on the implementation of regulations, and provision of app...

BACKGROUND The main objective of this study was to examine the photocatalytic degradation of phenol from laboratory samples and petrochemical industries wastewater under UV radiation by using nanoparticles of titanium dioxide coated on the inner and outer quartz glass tubes. METHOD The first stage of this study was conducted to stabilize the titanium dioxide nanoparticles in anatase crystal p...
