background: in addition to the various human environmental issues, environmental hazards due to the industrial waste mismanagement are one of the country's major problems. this especially is more important in the provinces such as bakhtiari province where there have been concentration and diversity of the natural resources and a rapid growth of technology and industry in the recent years. metho...

Identifying the most relevant environment related indicators and how to make them available to decision-makers are current issues. Some seek to enhance their efficiency by means of methods such as aggregations or weighting. More fundamentally, in this chapter we question how industrial ecologists appropriate the notion of environment. On the basis of multidisciplinary research, we argue that, i...

Industrial symbiosis (IS) is a subdiscipline of Industrial Ecology that aims to bring together companies from different sectors to share resources, namely energy, materials, and water. The main goal of IS is to improve resource (materials, waste, energy) efficiency and lead to mutual environmental, financial and social benefits to participants. In this paper we present a semantic approach for I...

Industrial effluents often contain organic pollutants and variable salinity levels, making their treatment challenging. The high content of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) in the aerobic granular sludge (AGS) is thought to protect microbial communities from stressful conditions. Ammonium phosphate removal, EPS production, morphology were assessed a lab-scale AGS reactor operated during...
