Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro, ampliación del que se editó en 1999, constituye una guía para conocer las tecnologías usadas para el reciclaje de residuos. En una época que apunta al progresivo agotamiento de las materias primas y al incremento desmesurado del consumo, la presente obra pasa revista a toda una serie de posibilidades de recuperar materiales de los residuos de manera respetuosa con el medio ambiente. La publicación se estructura en tres partes. En la primera, después de una necesaria introducción sobre el impacto que en el medio ambiente ha podido provocar el mal uso de la tecnología, también se expone como la tecnología puede contribuir a remediar el daño, y así se definen las tecnologías disponibles para el reciclaje de residuos y se señalan los límites de aplicación dentro de un contexto respetuoso con el medio ambiente. La segunda parte, pasa revista a la lista de residuos, de acuerdo con la clasificación establecida por el Catálogo Europeo de Residuos y, atendiendo básicamente a su naturaleza orgánica o inorgánica, así como a las posibilidades de reciclaje que ofrecen de acuerdo con las tecnologías descritas anteriormente. La tercera parte, la más extensa, dedica un capítulo a cada una de las gamas de materiales reciclados que pueden lograrse con residuos industriales, residuos domiciliarios (RSU), fangos de depuradora, residuos mineros, biomasa residual, etc. Cada uno de estos capítulos, hasta un total de diez, está lleno de ejemplos prácticos de reutilización de residuos. También se hace mención al estado de la tecnología mundial sobre tratamiento de residuos, sí como sus previsibles tendencias. Finalmente, la obra incluye un glosario, con más de 3.000 entradas, que constituye un diccionario de terminología ambiental muy útil para efectuar consultas rápidas.

Download or read book Mahatma Gandhi written by Dennis Dalton and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2012-02-21 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dennis Dalton's classic account of Gandhi's political and intellectual development focuses on the leader's two signal triumphs: the civil disobedience movement (or salt satyagraha) of 1930 and the Calcutta fast of 1947. Dalton clearly demonstrates how Gandhi's lifelong career in national politics gave him the opportunity to develop and refine his ideals. He then concludes with a comparison of Gandhi's methods and the strategies of Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X, drawing a fascinating juxtaposition that enriches the biography of all three figures and asserts Gandhi's relevance to the study of race and political leadership in America. Dalton situates Gandhi within the "clash of civilizations" debate, identifying the implications of his work on continuing nonviolent protests. He also extensively reviews Gandhian studies and adds a detailed chronology of events in Gandhi's life.

Download or read book Soil and Sediment Remediation written by Piet Lens and published by IWA Publishing. This book was released on 2005-09-30 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soil and Sediment Remediation discusses in detail a whole set of remediative technologies currently available to minimise their impact. Technologies for the treatment of soils and sediments in-situ (landfarming, bioscreens, bioventing, nutrient injection, phytoremediation) and ex-situ (landfarming, bio-heap treatment, soil suspension reactor) will be discussed. The microbiological, process technological and socio-economical aspects of these technologies will be addressed. Special attention will be given to novel biotechnological processes that utilise sulfur cycle conversions, e.g. sulfur and heavy metal removal from soils. Also the potential of phytoremediation will be highlighted. In addition, treatment schemes for the clean-up of polluted megasites, e.g. harbours and Manufactured Gaswork Plants (MGP), will be elaborated. The aim of Soil and Sediment Remediation is to introduce the reader in: the biogeochemical characteristics of soil and sediments- new techniques to study soil/sediment processes (molecular probes, microelectrodes, NMR) clean up technologies for soils polluted with organic (PAH, NAPL, solvents) or inorganic (heavy metals) pollutants- preventative and remediative strategies and technologies available in environmental engineering novel process applications and bioreactor designs for bioremediation the impact of soil pollution on society and its economic importance.

Download or read book The Forbidden Religion written by Jose M. Herrou Aragon and published by José M. Herrou Aragón. This book was released on 2012-07-03 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gnosis means knowledge. But we are not referring to just any knowledge. Gnosis is knowledge which produces a great transformation in those who receive it. Knowledge capable of nothing less than waking up man and helping him to escape from the prison in which he finds himself. That is why Gnosis has been so persecuted throughout the course of history, because it is knowledge considered dangerous for the religious and political authorities who govern mankind from the shadows. Every time this religion, absolutely different from the rest, appears before man, the other religions unite to try to destroy or hide it again. Primordial Gnosis is the original Gnosis, true Gnosis, eternal Gnosis, Gnostic knowledge in its pure form. Due to multiple persecutions, Primordial Gnosis has been fragmented, distorted and hidden.
