This paper describes the results of an industrial pollution prevention pilot project in Nebraska. The goal of the project is to demonstrate that through proper management and operating practices, that industrial pollution can effectively be reduced significantly. The net effect of this pollution prevention program is to improve the economic worth of the industry by lowering expenditures on poll...

In recent years, membrane technology has been widely used in wastewater treatment and water purification. Membrane technology is simple to operate and produces very high quality water for human consumption and industrial purposes. One of the promising technologies for water and wastewater treatment is the application of forward osmosis. Essentially, forward osmosis is a process in which water i...

Water, among the most valuable natural resources available on earth, is under serious threat as a result of undesirable human activities: for example, marine dumping, atmospheric deposition, domestic, industrial and agricultural practices. Optimizing current methodologies and developing new and effective techniques to remove contaminants from water is the current focus of interest, in order to ...

Fluorides are found in the waste discharges from process streams in a number of industries. Significant amounts of fluoride come from the following industries: semiconductor, photovoltaic, glass manufacturers, electroplating, steel and aluminum, pesticides and fertilizer. The fluoride concentration in untreated effluent can vary over a large range, and the allowable level for discharge depends ...

magnetite (feo.fe2o3) nanoparticles immobilized on silica and modified by treatment apolaccase were used to decolorize the industrial wastewater from basic red 9 (br9 by way of fenton and fenton-like processes. the surface changes to the silica were determined by scanning electron microscopy, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction and energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy. th...

in this study, selenium was recovered from an industrial dust. after the purification process, the researchers were able to prepare selenium micro powder. the objective of this study was to prepare selenium nano particles by water solution phase method from the micro powders. the results showed that selenium micronized powder and nano particles had high purity. the obtained nanoparticles were t...
