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...

biological removal of lead was observed in this study during treatment of synthetic solutions of this heavy metal by a sample of waste activated sludge (was) having mlss concentration of 10000 mg/l. the objective was determining the capability of was in removal of lead in three different conditions of treatment: without any aeration and feeding, by simultaneous aeration and feeding and by aerat...

There are many reasons for the need to assess rates and quantities of evaporation or evapotranspiration from natural soil surfaces, the surfaces of deposits of mine or industrial waste, or soil-covered waste surfaces. These include assessing water balances for nearsurface soil strata, landfills, tailings dams and waste dumps and suitable deposition or application intervals for hydraulic fill ta...

Aims, tasks and priorities of medium term development plans of national waste management were defined in the National Waste Management Plan, which was made for the period of 2003–2008 in Hungary. Supporting of the European Union is indispensable for carrying out of plan. The most important areas are related to the developing projects of municipal solid waste treatment (increasing the capacity o...

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...

The crystallisation behaviour of vitrified industrial waste (fly ash from domiciliary solid waste incineration) was examined by differential thermal analysis, X-ray diffractometry and scanning electron microscopy. It was demonstrated that powder processing route was required to transform the vitrified industrial waste into glass-ceramics products. Time-Temperature-Transformation (TTT) diagrams ...

Even though solid waste management has become a major public health and environmental concern in urban areas of Ethiopia, only 2% of the population receive solid waste management services. The primary objective of this study is to assess solid waste management practices of Bahir Dar City. The technique of multistage random sampling has been employed to draw 350 households for this study, with b...

This book covers broader aspect of bioremediation and biodegradation of environmental pollutants. The pollution due to industrialization is a global challenge for the sustainable development of human beings. Environmental pollutants may be organic or inorganic, like and many of them may cause various diseases in human beings and animals. After the green revolution, the indiscriminate use of che...
