In recent years, with an increase in the stringent water quality regulations due to environmental concerns, extensive research has focused on upgrading current water treatment technologies and developing more economical processes that can effectively deal with toxic and biologically refractory organic contaminants in wastewater. In this context, in order to avoid or mitigate the possible advers...

Leather industry, one of the polluting industries because of generation of huge amount of liquid and solid wastes, also emits obnoxious smell because of degradation of proteinous material of skin and generation of gases such as NH3, H2S and CO2. Solid wastes are raw trimmings, fleshings, chrome shavings, buffing dusts and keratin wastes. Accumulation of these wastes lead to sludge problem and c...

Medical wastes include all infectious waste, hazardous (including low-level radioactive) wastes, and any other wastes that are generated from all types of health care institutions, including hospitals, clinics, doctor (including dental and veterinary) offices, and medical laboratories (42). 1 The main focus of concern has been on the portion of medical wastes that are defined as infectious, and...

The review article intended to provide an overview of quality variation and various contaminants in locally processed palm oil (PO). paper also deliberates on the pros cons wastes generated during PO processing. There is a serious concern about safety crude Nigeria resulting from poor raw materials, inadequate processing know-how, inappropriate packaging storage facilities, handling transportat...

Pollutants generated by clinical chemistry laboratories of two cities (Buffalo, N. V. and Rochester, N. V.) are described. A stepwise procedure is suggested on how to deal with the toxic liquid wastes from such laboratories. A brief guideline of chemical procedures for the decontamination of selected toxic elements and compounds is included. There is a long-standing question of whether or not c...

During the past several years, waste produced by the electroplating industry has attracted attention due to the level of pollutants found in the waste stream, the difficulty associated with treatment, and the cost of waste disposal. EPA has enacted regulations to control the discharge from plating facilities and estimates that 140 million lb of metal pollutants will be prevented from being disc...

Abstract Nowadays, the water contamination which is due to pharmaceuticals increasing and alarming. The in are very hazardous toxic not only for human life but also environment. One of promising methods removing from contaminated adsorption. Agricultural industrial wastes or by-products can be used as low-cost adsorbents removal. Low-cost provide particular economic environmental advantages. Th...

The liquid wastes produced during the processing of radioactive materials at the Savannah River Site were initially stored in large underground tanks constructed of carbon steel. These liquid wastes were generated from the Purex process (for producing plutonium) and the HM process (for producing tritium). The liquid wastes were designated as high-level wastes and lowlevel wastes. As the product...

This paper presents the energy characteristics of wood and wood-based materials in form commercially available pellets, furniture board (MDF) OSB. Toxicometric indices were determined for gaseous destructs arising from thermal decomposition combustion studied. The proves that conditions are crucial terms toxic destructive emissions. It has been shown under controlled can lead to equally low emi...
