Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book interprets the economic benefits and social benefits brought about by zero waste. Beginning with the general history of waste, its mechanism and different categories, this book first explores waste management and resourcing technology around the world nowadays. It then elaborates on the concept and practices of zero waste, discussing about the relationship between zero waste and eco-design, and about relative international standards. At last, it points out that zero waste could be the pathway from linear economy to circular economy, backed up by theories and practices. This book offers a clear direction for companies and organizations about environment. It can also be used as a sustainable development strategy handbook for executives in companies and organizations.

Book excerpt: Winner of an Outstanding Academic Title Award from CHOICE Magazine Encyclopedia of Environmental Management gives a comprehensive overview of environmental problems, their sources, their assessment, and their solutions. Through in-depth entries and a topical table of contents, readers will quickly find answers to questions about specific pollution and management issues. Edited by the esteemed Sven Erik Jørgensen and an advisory board of renowned specialists, this four-volume set shares insights from more than 500 contributors—all experts in their fields. The encyclopedia provides basic knowledge for an integrated and ecologically sound management system. Nearly 400 alphabetical entries cover everything from air, soil, and water pollution to agriculture, energy, global pollution, toxic substances, and general pollution problems. Using a topical table of contents, readers can also search for entries according to the type of problem and the methodology. This allows readers to see the overall picture at a glance and find answers to the core questions: What is the pollution problem, and what are its sources? What is the "big picture," or what background knowledge do we need? How can we diagnose the problem, both qualitatively and quantitatively, using monitoring and ecological models, indicators, and services? How can we solve the problem with environmental technology, ecotechnology, cleaner technology, and environmental legislation? How do we address the problem as part of an integrated management strategy? This accessible encyclopedia examines the entire spectrum of tools available for environmental management. An indispensable resource, it guides environmental managers to find the best possible solutions to the myriad pollution problems they face.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mediterranean region is distinguished by an architectural heritage of great richness and diversity. This book focuses on the preservation and enhancement of this heritage. As the building and construction sector is one of the largest emitters of greenhouse gases, there is much effort to replace traditional materials with environmentally friendly materials. Great efforts are made to prioritize the use of eco-materials instead of conventional materials. There is a trend to use local materials, such as earth, stone or wood, due to their sustainability and highly favorable environmental footprint.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unconventional oil and gas extraction activities, including hydraulic fracturing, are a collection of processes used to liberate significant quantities of natural gas and oil in the United States. Many extraction sites are located in large cities, close to residential areas. In some cases, operational malfunctions can result in spills of thousands of gallons of produced waste water and pose a threat of contaminating underground or surface water resources. Produced water contains a complex mixture of salts, volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds, metals, organic acids, and particulates, as well as additives from the drilling process. In this study, we tested the potential for wastewater treatment using a household grade commercial Brita pitcher filter which uses coconut-based activated carbon with ion exchange resin. In normal usage, a Brita filter can be used with up to 40 gallons of tap water to reduce chlorine taste and odor, zinc, and harmful contaminants copper, mercury and cadmium. A variety of analytical instruments, including GC-FID, GC-MS, TOC, and ICP-OES were used for qualitative and quantitative analysis of water before and after passage through the filter. GC-MS analysis of total petroleum hydrocarbons, based on extraction of the characteristic ion at 57 m/z, showed a decrease in branched hydrocarbon content, in agreement with total organic carbon analysis. Metal analysis with ICP-OES also showed a small reduction in Ba, Be, Ca, Na, and other metals, but not enough to be below safe drinking standards. In general, this work serves to illustrate that drinking water contaminated with waste water from the oil and gas industry may not be reliably treated using this widely-used household product.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lack of a routine characterization method for non-volatile hydrocarbons has been an ongoing problem preventing mass spectrometry from the analysis of these hydrocarbons within many sources. Non-polar hydrocarbons are still difficult to be detected by mass spectrometry. Although several studies targeted this problem, lack of self-ionization has been limiting the ability of mass spectrometry to examine these hydrocarbons. A novel identification method for saturated straight-chain hydrocarbons in light shredder waste fraction under atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry (APCI-MS) has been developed. Ionization of alkanes under nitrogen gas source favoured hydrogen abstraction producing majorly (M-H)+ ions which are strictly corresponding to their respective series of n-alkanes between n-decane (C10) and n-tetracontane (C40). The method is shown to produce intact gas phase ions of n-alkane in both reference and real life waste samples. APCI-MS2 fragmentation data assisted in the structural verification of the n-alkanes investigated in both standard and waste mixtures. Additionally the total chemical composition of the light shredder waste fraction was translated by the same method. The mass spectrum displayed a bimodal distribution of odd and even mass ions with a molecular weight distribution range of m/z 200-900 Da. Molecular formulas for a 1000 unsaturated hydrocarbon compounds suggested a dehydrogenation process. The molecular masses were plotted on a Kendrick plot which was successfully employed for monitoring sample degradation. Another selection of high mass linear, branched and cyclic hydrocarbons, reported to be notoriously difficult to ionize, were examined during this study. Using optimized APCI conditions all of these analytes could be ionized without the use of an additional ionization aid and without fragmentation. This finding represents a promising step towards extending the applicability of mass spectrometry to complex non-polar hydrocarbon analyses.
