in tehran megacity with 7705036 populations, 7000 tons solid waste a day has been generated in 2008. according to the municipality`s division, tehran is divided to 22 local zones. quality and quantity are the basis of planning for hazardous waste management system. in this context, selection a combination of techniques, technology and management program is imperative to achieve purposes of wast...

Developing an understanding of Industrial Ecology (IE) and implementing Design for Environment (DfE) requires a sophisticated understanding of waste streams and the processes and products that generate them. Data deficiencies and methodological issues complicate this necessary effort. Allen demonstrates how data on industrial and municipal wastes can be used to assess the potential utility of w...

Application of aromatic compounds has dramatically increased as raw materials in various industries and different factories have been established to produce aromatic compounds. The current research aims at characterizing industrial waste generation in aromatics production process in petrochemical industries and determining the best feasible alternative for waste disposal. For this purpose, the ...

In this paper, the present status of the industrial waste, development foundation, and research progress of high technology are discussed based on the author’s experience on the development of industrial waste. The important academic and utility values are presented.

The purpose of this paper is to study the impact of ISO 14001 and other significant factors on solid waste generation rates of organizations. The research is based on a survey conducted on a random sample of industrial companies that operate in United States. The paper reveals that companies’ solid waste generation rates are significantly reduced by certification and identifies several factors ...

use of microorganisms for removing mercury is an effective technology for the treatment of industrial wastewaters and can become an effective tool for the remediation of man-impacted coastal ecosystems with this metal. in this study, seven types of mercury resistant bacteria were separated from industrial waste and minimum inhibitory concentration (mic), were determined for these bacteria. resu...

activated sludge or extended aeration treatment involves a continous system where aerobic biological growths are mixed with waste water and then separated in a gravity clarifier. therefore, waste treatment system such as the activated sludge system depend on the activities of communities of living organism. in this study, an attempt was made on the indentification of the bacterial population in...

The plating industry is one of the main toxic chemicals consumers, which uses various chemicals, including solvents, acids, bases, cleansers, sophisticated organic ingredients, and metal salts of cadmium, nickel and chromium. Due to the growing production of industrial waste in spite of actions related to these wastes’ management, no comprehensive pattern was introduced at different levels. Thi...
