The aim of this study is the comprehensive planning for integrated management of solid waste at the industrial parks. The share of each industrial group including food, metal, chemical, non-metallic minerals, textile, electrical and electronical, and cellulose industries were 48.2, 14.9, 6.7, 22, 0.9, 0.6, and 6.5 percent, respectively. The results showed that nearly half of total industrial wa...

In the complex situation of a real archives or library, the contribution that air pollution makes to the fading of images is not easy to measure or observe. The effects are subtle and occur slowly, blending in with the action of light, heat, humidity, and the inherent stability (or instability) of each individual type of photograph. We are not able to say what percentage of the fading of a colo...

this review reports recent advances in metallic nanostructures based electrochemical sensors. interesting aspects of nps include size and shape-dependent interatomic bond distances, melting points, chemical reactivity, and optical and electronic properties. the small size of metallic nanostructures has allowed nanoscale electrochemical processes to be probed. electrochemical characteristics can...

Microbes play key geoactive roles in the biosphere, particularly in the areas of element biotransformations and biogeochemical cycling, metal and mineral transformations, decomposition, bioweathering, and soil and sediment formation. All kinds of microbes, including prokaryotes and eukaryotes and their symbiotic associations with each other and 'higher organisms', can contribute actively to geo...

Using wastes as starting raw materials is a common method to reduce the production costs and the environmental pollution problems arising from such wastes. In this study the production and crystallization behavior of an iron rich glass prepared by iron and steel making wastes has been investigated. The raw materials used, were the blast furnace slag, the blast furnace dust, converter slag and s...

industrial development and extensive use of heavy metals have led to the problem of environmental pollution. nickel compounds are toxic to plants and have detrimental effects on their growth. valerian is a plant used in herbal medicine. considering the hazards of nickel, various methods have been developed to remove this contaminant from herbs irrigation wastewater, including the common chemica...

this study was carried out to 1. determine spatial variations of heavy metal deposition in agricultural soils of two rural communities (ouledbouaicha and tazakourte) of about 5790 ha in a mining area near marrakech city in morocco; 2. to assess the extent of metallic pollution generated by the mining activity and; 3. to identify the key mechanism responsible for this contamination and its relat...

water has an important role in creating pollution problems in the mining regimes influencing the surrounding surface environment. the purpose of this study is to make an assessment of groundwater quality in an underground mine site in portugal with a view of determining the pollution potential of groundwater. in the corresponding surface area of this underground mine, intersections of fou...
