The wastes produced during the manufacture and use of paints have long been an environmental concern. Paint manufacturers have sought ways to reduce these wastes with significant success. Industrial paint users have also identified and implemented techniques and technologies to reduce their paint wastes. Frequently, these activities also result in reduced production and disposal costs. Despite ...

Of the 12 billion tons of waste generated annually in the United States; less than 10% is defined as hazardous under the provisions of RCRA. This paper summarizes the data available on some of the wastes that are defined as non-hazardous. These wastes include industrial non-hazardous waste, and several types of wastes that are currently exempted from hazardous waste regulations, such as oil and...

The use of organic wastes in agricultural soils is one of the possible ways to employ these materials. The aims of this study were to evaluate the effectiveness of organic wastes and Fermented Bokashi Compost (FBC), to establish the most efficient use of organic wastes for a soil, changing the net nitrogen mineralization and soil chemical properties. The experimental design was completely rando...

Nowadays, the increasing amount of wastes is a concerning reality and the environmental aspects has become a major priority. Following this worry, the purpose of this experimental study was to investigate the possibility of using pulp and paper inorganic wastes, named dregs and grits, in bituminous mixtures as aggregate replacement to reduce environmental effects of these wastes disposal. First...

Large amount of wastes is generated every year from the industrial processing of agricultural raw materials. Most of these wastes are used as animal feed or burned as alternative for elimination. However, such wastes usually have a composition rich in sugars, minerals and proteins, and therefore, they should not be considered “wastes” but raw materials for other industrial processes. The presen...

Organic wastes are extensively increasing with increased human populations, intensive agriculture and industrialization. The disposal of wastes has become important for a healthy quality of environment. In this regard recycling of utilizable organic wastes is feasible. The recycling of wastes through vermicomposting reduces problems of disposal of organic wastes. Vermicomposting, a novel techni...

Manufacturing performances tend to produce defects due to various reasons which can be improved by identifying and eliminating them using six sigma. In the present work, DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control) has been used to reduce the number of vehicle engine rejection. In define phase problem was defined by selecting the core issues concerned. In the measure phase data was col...

Large quantities of fruit wastes are generated during the consumption and processing fruits. The disposal in an environmentally benign way is a challenging task. biochar production from by pyrolysis receiving huge attention because it can alleviate pollution provide supply sustainably. In this study, five waste types—orange peel, banana mango endocarp, apricot kernel shell, date pits—are examin...
