Effective legislation is the main driving force in controlling pollution and, indirectly in economizing in the use of water in industry. The control is exercised by municipal authorities over the discharge of waste water to public sewers or of river agencies that determine the quality of discharges to rivers. Important factors in the reduction of pollution in the metal finishing industries are ...

The assessments of machinability of metal cutting are called "indices" and are derived by comparative research. These indices are the relations of two identical parameters, such as is the allowable cutting speed. The assessments were obtained at a constant tool life of 60 min, at the appropriate tool life minimum costs and the efficient reporting of specific restrictions for finishing and rough...

67 usinesses, local government and the public have a place to go within DEQ when they have questions about air, water and solid or hazardous waste and don’t know whom to ask.

The present invention relates to a novel composition of matter having utility in the sequestering or complexing of metal ions particularly calcium and / or magnesium ions. More particularly, the present invention is concerned with a unique combination of water – soluble aminopolyacetate demonstrating improved chelating properties. Sequestering agent are employed in a number of applications such...

Through the international (Convention) and European (Industrial Emissions Directive) legislations, industries have to apply preventive measures according to the Best Available Technique (BAT) concept or cleaner production (CP) strategies. Many technical solutions exist to conform, but the major stake is to assess the overall effect or impact of the implementation of a technique on the installat...

Flammability properties of plasma pretreated cotton fabrics subjected to flame-retardant treatment were studied. Plasma pretreatment, using an atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ), was applied to cotton fabrics to enhance material properties, while retaining inherent advantages of the substrates. An organic phosphorus compound (flame-retardant agent, FR) together with a melamine resin (crossl...
