Download or read book Cleaner Production written by Francisco José Gomes da Silva and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-07-18 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an overview of cleaner production, including how regulations have evolved, and presents a broad perspective on how it is being developed. Presenting several practical examples and applications of modern clean production technologies, it provides readers with ideas on how to extend these practices to other industry sectors in order to contribute to a better environment in the future. The authors start from the initial concepts of how to implement new cleaner production systems, before collecting recent developments in the area and demonstrating practical ways in which the latest knowledge can be applied. It motivates readers to develop new ideas on how to improve manufacturing systems to save energy and generate less waste, and discusses strategies on how to save, reuse and adapt materials, as well as techniques to reduce the waste and pollution produced. This book serves as a reference resource for industrial management engineers and researchers, and is also of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students looking for insights into cleaner production in industry.
Download or read book Cleaner Treatment Technologies and Productions in The Energy Industry 2nd edition written by Jiang Bian and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2023-04-29 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: s the rapid development of the world's economy brought serious environmental problems, the economy must accelerate industrial structure adjustment and development mode transformation to achieve sustainable development. A cleaner production mode based on cleaner technology is a crucial way to solve the conflict between economic growth and environmental protection effectively. In essence, cleaner production is a kind of production mode in which the environmental strategy of overall prevention is adopted for the production process to reduce or eliminate their possible harm to human beings and the environment while fully meeting human needs and maximizing social and economic benefits. Fossil energy and renewable energy have promoted the development of many emerging industries, such as the automobile industry, aerospace technology, modern production and processing, and modern transportation industry, and preventing waste production while increasing efficiencies in the uses of energy is a crucial issue. Specific measures include: • Using clean energy and raw materials; • Adopting advanced technology and equipment; • Comprehensive utilization; • Reducing pollution from the source; • Improving utilization efficiency; • Reducing or avoiding the generation and emission of pollutants in the process of production. This Research Topic aims to report the most important and latest technological advances in cleaner treatment technologies of fossil energy (such as oil and natural gas) and renewable energy (such as hydrogen energy and geothermal energy) and serves as a platform for addressing and discussing theoretical and practical cleaner production.
Download or read book Identification of Cleaner Production Improvement Opportunities written by Kenneth L. Mulholland and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2006-03-24 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regardless of its size or nature, every industry generates waste and is responsible for imple-menting the practices of pollution prevention and waste minimization in its day-to-day operations. Whether it's dirty water or toxic wastes, industrial pollution is all the same in one way: it reduces a business's profitability. Identification of Cleaner Production Improvement Opportunities urges environmental, health, and safety department managers, industrial environmental consultants, and personnel across all chemical engineering industries to employ a forward-thinking and tested technology of process improvements that will reduce waste generation, reduce the resources requirements to manufacture a product, and, most important to the life of a business, increase revenues. This new publication consists of the following five sections: * Section I: The relationships among cleaner production, waste, cleaner production analyses, and their business values * Section II: How to develop a cleaner production program * Section III: The data requirements and data analyses for the opportunity identification step * Section IV: The opportunity identification step * Section V: How to assess and rank the best ideas Industry expert and chair of AIChE's Environmental Division, Kenneth Mulholland introduces methodology in this manual that has been used to identify process improvement opportunities for more than fifty processes, including pharmaceutical intermediates, elastomer monomers and polymers, polyester intermediates and polymers, batch processes such as agricultural products and paints, chlorofluoro-hydrocarbon and chlorocarbon processes, and specialty chemicals and waste water treatment facilities. With no product changes or new technology necessary, these process improvements have produced a 200 percent internal rate of return and reduced waste generation by 40 percent to 50 percent.
Download or read book Sustainable Production Novel Trends in Energy Environment and Material Systems written by Grzegorz M. Królczyk and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-01-24 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book highlights recent research on sustainable production. In today’s manufacturing industry, cleaner production has become a central goal. “Sustainable production” describes activities that pose no threat to future generations and are not pursued at their expense. In addition, sustainable production is a concept that can improve environmental performance and focuses on technical aspects that can be used to improve efficiency and productivity. Sustainable production is not limited to the manufacturing sector, but affects all production sectors including energy, environment, and material systems – all of which face significant challenges in connection with sustainability, e.g. efforts to reduce production’s impact on the environment and to manage health and safety impacts. Key means of reducing environmental pollution from manufacturing involve reducing the main resources used in production (metals used in the machining processes, fluids/oils in production, water, and energy).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world has witnessed several revolutions since the dawn of industrial revolution some two centuries ago. During the current century itself, three revolutions in the area of communication, information processing and quality have taken place and each time the standard of living of man improved beyond predictions. But during the same period, the world population has also phenomenally increased dwarfing the gains achieved from the development. Increased level of industrial activity to meet the of humanity has caused irreversible damage to the pristine environment that the demand Earth once had. Economic disparity between the haves and havenots has widened, aggravating the situation further more. Ozone layer depletion, warming up of Earth's atmosphere and the pollution created by uncontrolled industrial activity to gain economic strength are now assuming the proportion of a catastrophe that may eventually threaten the survival of life on Earth. Developed countries blame the Third World countries for the uncontrolled emissions through burning of fossil fuels and for wasting precious resources of energy by using inefficient and uneconomical technologies, while the developed countries are equally responsible for avoidable oV,er-consumption and for the wastage of resources and energy and for not sharing the improved and efficient technologies with the developing countries. Thus the wastage by both these set of countries continues unabated. After all, resources of the world are finite and are meant to be shared by all its inhabitants.
