All industries produce waste products that unless treated or mitigated in some way will be harmful to the human or natural environment. These waste products will generally need to be identified according to the industrial process in question, neutralized or rendered less harmful and finally disposed of into the surrounding land, air or watercourses. It is therefore of vital importance to every environmental, pollution or plant manager or engineer that these processes be fully understood and implemented or the cost to either the company or the environment can be catastrophic.With increasing government regulation of pollution, as well as willingness to levy punitive fines for transgressions, and the ever-present financial imperative to carry out these activities in the most efficient and cost-effective manner it is the responsibility of the professionals in question to ensure that they have the most up-to-date information available at their disposal. This book provides not only that, but the only available methodology for identifying which waste types are produced from which industrial processes, and how they can be treated. This unique feature makes this book one that every environmental, industrial and plant manager, engineer and consultant will want to have on their bookshelf.Essential aspect of, and requirement for, all manufacturing industryThe only up-to-date book on this subject area availableTakes a practical applications standpoint, not a theoretical approach

Waste Discharge into The Marine Environment: Principles and Guidelines for the Mediterranean Action Plan covers the legal (framework convention and related protocols), scientific (research, monitoring, and assessment), and management (integrated planning) regarding the protection of the Mediterranean Sea. The book provides principles and guidelines in the issuance of permits for the discharge of water wastes and other matter into the marine environment. The text consists of seven chapters that are organized into two parts. The first part covers the guidance of the control of discharge of potentially harmful substances into the Mediterranean Sea. The second part discusses the technical aspects governing the issue of authorization for the discharge of wastes containing harmful substances. The book will appeal to readers concerned with waste disposal policies in the Mediterranean Sea.

During the last two decades, the environmental pollution regulations have undergone a vast change. Attempts have been made to refine the conventional technologies and to develop new technologies to meet increasingly more stringent environmental quality criteria. The challenge that one faces today is to meet these stringent requirements in an environmentally acceptable and cost effective manner. The present book addresses the application of the state-of-the-art technology to the solutions to today’s problems in industrial effluent pollution control and environmental protection. The highlight of this book is the inclusion of the salient features of process modifications and other important methods and techniques for the minimization of wastes. The chapter on process modification for waste minimization provides new technical features and tools, latest technologies and techniques, and other industrial operations. Besides, the text covers the role of an environmental engineer in the methodology for making pollution control decisions. KEY FEATURES : Includes numerous self-explanatory tabular and diagrammatic representations. Presents pollution problems of few chemical and processing industries. Provides case studies on environmental pollution problems and their prevention. Analyzes thoroughly the planning and strategies of environmental protection. Designed as a textbook for the undergraduate students of civil and chemical engineering, this book will also be useful to the postgraduate students of environmental science and engineering.
