Oil drill cuttings are challenging wastes in oil sites especially in Khuzestan province, a major oil producing region in Iran. As co- composting is a simple and eco- friendly technique for bioremediation of oil base drill cutting, this data article designed to describe co- composting of oil base drill cutting with cow manure. The data suggest that with optimized mixture of cow manure/oily drill...

Contamination types, levels and their behavior within drilling wastes is determined by the local geological conditions and drilling mud design; notably lubrication fluids, weighting agents and anti-foaming agents. Such additives can contain potentially toxic elements such as aluminum and barium. Besides being contaminated, drilling wastes often have a high pH due to the addition of lime, causti...

In this paper an attempt has been made to develop an appropriate storage and collection plan based on optimal routing model using Geologic Information System in one of the wards of the Singanallur, Coimbatore city, India. The ward map is digitized and georeferenced. The collection bins are attributed and collection routes of the MSW are optimized for degradable and recyclable wastes separately....

BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to design and implementation of integrated solid wastes management pattern in Shahroud industrial zone, evaluates the results and determine possible performance problems. This cross - sectional study was carried out for 4 years in Shahroud industrial zone and the implementation process included:1- Qualitative and quantitative analysis of all solid waste gener...

Poultry industry wastes, namely feathers and poultry litter, are an interesting source of substrate for biogas production. The aim of this work was to assess the biomethane potential of raw poultry wastes, as well as the possibility of enhancing this potential by favouring the hydrolysis of cellulolytic and proteinaceous material in the wastes by using bioaugmentation and thermochemical pre-tre...

Fast urbanization and serpentine uses of electronic gadgets during the last two decades has led to genesis of a whopper character of electronic wastes resulting in soil, water and environmental pollutions. Thus pollution administer along with environmental safety has become the greatest worry of environmental scientists and activists worldwide. Dumping of electronic wastes, lone of the by-produ...

This paper looks at waste minimization practices available to the paint and coatings industry. The paper begins with an introduction to the industry and a description of the products. The steps involved in the manufacture of paints and coatings are then described. The paper then identifies the wastes generated. Source reduction and recycling techniques are the predominant means of minimizing wa...

Generation of municipal solid waste (MSW) continues to rise, which leads to loss of resources and increased environmental risks. The conventional treatment of wastes such as open dumping and land filling cause environmental degradation. Since the major fraction of wastes generated in India is organic wastes, composting has emerged as one of the best methods for treatment of wastes. Composting, ...

BACKGROUND: The use of agricultural waste as organic fertilizers is important for soil fertility and plants health production. OBJECTIVES: The aims of this study were to examine the effects of different types and rates of vermicompost on physiological and morphological properties of lettuce. METHODS: Present study was conducted acco...

The operating conditions in spouted bed regime of uniform beds consisting of different biomass wastes dry and wet have been studied to determine the applicability of conical spouted beds with a draft tube in the drying of biomass wastes. This experimental study has been carried out at room temperature and the effect of the solid humidity on the stability of beds of biomass wastes has been deter...
