Industrial pollution prevention has been incorporated into several aspects of the chemical engineering curriculum at The University of Tennessee. One is an industrial internship program. This technology selection example focuses on a case from a pilot internship project sponsored by a pesticide manufacturer. This project involved synthesis and evaluation of waste management strategies for reduc...

On December 1, 2000, EPA adopted new source performance standards and emission guidelines for commercial and industrial solid waste incineration units established under Sections 111 and 129 of the Clean Air Act. In 2001, EPA granted a petition for reconsideration regarding the definitions of ‘‘commercial and industrial waste’’ and ‘‘commercial and industrial solid waste incineration unit.’’ In ...

Moving toward a sustainable industrial activity requires an effective waste management that is applicable and efficient for all different types of industrial wastes .Waste minimization as the most acceptable option in waste management hierarchy, has a significant contribution in minimizing the solid wastes generated by manufacturing industries. The absence of appropriate policy, lack of awarene...

Background & Aims of the Study: Increasing hazardous industrial wastes and lack of necessary regulations for management of them have led to serious problems in some parts of Iran. The aim of this study was to evaluate the situation of collection, transportation, recycling, and disposal of hazardous industrial wastes in the Khazra Industrial Park of Kerman, Iran. Materials & Meth...

The waste water showed high values of total solid (TS), hardness and chloride with slightly alkaline pH along with high concentrations of Cr (2.03 mg l(-1)), Ni (1.59 mg l(-1)) and Zn (0.46 mg l(-1)). The concentration of Cu (0.21 mg l(-1)) and Zn in industrial waste water was low than Ni and Cr. The diluted (25 and 50%), undiluted (100%) waste water was used to irrigate the lettuce plants grow...

Industrial wastes are of great interest as a substrate in production of value-added products to reduce cost, while managing the waste economically and environmentally. Bio-ethanol production from industrial wastes has gained attention because of its abundance, availability, and rich carbon and nitrogen content. In this study, industrial potato waste was used as a carbon source and a medium was ...

Abstract: The Thermoselect process is a completely new solid waste treatment process which achieves pollution-free recycling of municipal solid waste and industrial waste by a high temperature gasification and reforming process. The process effectively recovers fuel gas from waste and recycles metal and other byproducts as resources. A stable gas engine power generation system using purified sy...

Since discharge limits are becoming stricter for industrial wastes, textile manufacturers are searching for 3fficient and economical methods of pollution reduction. This is typical of :he situation facing the textile ndustry, especially in the area of :olor pollution emitted into the zarth's waterways. Ozone treatment ;o remove color from wastewater :ould be a solution to the problem of
