This study demonstrated the feasibility of implementing of MBR in pharmaceutical wastewater independently, and concluded different applications of MBR in industries. Membrane bioreactor (MBR) technology was a new wastewater treatment technology with a combination of membrane separation technology and biological treatment technology, which had unique advantages on pharmaceutical wastewater treat...

Hazardous substances, such as polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) also have been detected in Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) and industrial waste incinerators in Korea. In this study, we estimated the exposure status of these hazardous substances and their heath effects in workers and residents near the MSW incinerators and residents near the industri...

locating landfills in urban areas is one of the most important issues in urban planning because of the effect on economy, ecology, and environment, therefore the right management and principled landfilling of solid waste is the major concern all over the world especially in the developed countries. in locating landfills, different criteria should be considered. in the present study, locating si...

to find the quantity and quality of wastewaters of the two main industrial units of khoy city in west azerbaijan province, iran, namely the slaughterhouse and the totia chocolate factory, ten composite samples were taken in 112 hour intervals between 3.5 and 7.5 a.m. (4 hours working shift) from the slaughterhouse and between 7.5 a.m. and 2 p.m from the totia chocolate factory (8hours working s...

Among all other pollutions, water one of the most vital caused different sources like industrial, domestic, sewage, hazardous waste, municipal medical manufacturing etc. Public concern over impact wastewater has increased. There several methods for treatment wastewater. them, tech...

The 3M Company incinerates chemical wastes from manufacturing operations in a 23 M kcal/hr (90 MM Btu/hr) rotary kiln incinerator which has air pollution control equipment. This paper deals with the essential features which have resulted in this successful incineration operation for industrial wastes. These features include waste materials handling considerations, design aspects, and main­ tena...

Supercritical fluid extraction of all-E-lycopene from tomato industrial wastes (mixture of skins and seeds) was carried out in a semi-continuous flow apparatus using ethane as supercritical solvent. The effect of pressure, temperature, feed particle size, solvent superficial velocity and matrix initial composition was evaluated. Moreover, the yield of the extraction was compared with that obtai...

New waste management legislation provides a driver for materials recovery, industrial ecology, and remanufacturing practices throughout the global electronics industry. Paradoxically, the resulting regulations are incongruent and unsustainable because the targeted practitioners can neither legally re-use the resultant reclaimed materials nor legally store or dispose of the ensuing wastes.
