This book was released on 1984 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The practice of recovering energy and/or materials from the solid waste stream is rapidly becoming a common waste management approach in the United States. This approach has been applied in Europe for a long period of time, and the motivating forces are similar in both areas: i.e., a shortage of suitable areas for landfilling, high energy costs, and the desire to more effectively manage resources. Past experiences with resource recovery at Navy shore-based facilities have shown deficiencies due to the relative newness and uniqueness of the technology. To repeat past successes while avoiding past mistakes, the Navy has embarked upon a comprehensive program to gather and analyze information on currently operating resource/energy recovery systems. As past of this program, SYSTECH Corporation was retained by the Naval Civil Engineering Laboratory of Port Hueneme, California, to gather detailed information on ten operating Heat Recovery Incinerators (HRIs) located in both the U.S. and foreign countries. The overall goal of the present study is to provide comprehensive design-related information on HRIs that have a throughput capacity of 50 tons per day (TPD) or less. As part of the program, SYSTECH Corp. visited and collected extensive information on operating HRI facilities using U.S. originated technology and foreign originated technology.

Download or read book Microplastics in Water and Wastewater written by Hrissi K. Karapanagioti and published by IWA Publishing. This book was released on 2019-09-15 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers the topic of microplastics in water and wastewater. The chapters start with introductory issues related to the growing interest in the scientific community on microplastics and the human water cycle and point out where the microplastics could interact with water. The subsequent chapters examine evidence of the microplastic presence in freshwater, such as in both rivers and lakes, in freshwater biota, and hazardous chemicals associated with microplastics in such systems. Another set of chapters discuss the presence of microplastics in wastewater: their sources; their transfer through a wastewater treatment plant; the concentration of microplastics in effluents throughout the world; the plastic biomedia used in wastewater treatment plants and the effect on the surrounding environment of effluent wastewater pipes. These chapters also discuss the sampling methods, the sample treatment and analysis techniques used so far for microplastics in wastewater. Additionally, the presence of microplastics in sewage sludge and in soils irrigated with wastewater or fertilized with sludge are discussed. The possible impact of plastics and their additives on plants, microalgae, and humans are reviewed and presented in a critical way. Finally, a chapter summarizes all the relevant regulations and initiatives that point to the necessity of a global directive for the protection of the environment from plastic and microplastic pollution. The topic of microplastics in freshwater systems and in wastewater has scarcely been studied and requires more attention. Microplastics in Water and Wastewater aims to bring these initial findings to the attention of a broader audience and especially to operators and managers of freshwater and wastewater systems. It will also be helpful to people already aware of the marine debris problem to understand the sources of microplastics in the oceans, from freshwater systems and wastewater treatment plants.

Download or read book Recycled Polymers written by Vijay Kumar Thakur and published by Smithers Rapra. This book was released on 2015-04-27 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increasing consumption of different kinds of polymer based materials results in huge amount of waste materials. Once the polymers have fulfilled the function for which they have been manufactured, they are disposed of in landills in large amounts each year, which is incompatible with current environmental goals. The disposal of polymer based plastics such as incineration and landfill results in environmental pollution and land occupation.These current levels of polymer disposal are not sustainable and polymer recycling, which is one of the most important actions currently available to reduce the negative impacts, receives increasing attention. Recycling provides opportunities to reduce oil usage, carbon dioxide emissions and the quantities of polymer wastes, as well as the negative impacts of disposal. Using recycled polymer wastes to replace virgin materials in some applications, such as non-food packaging and automotive components, can effectively decrease the demand of the amount of import oil and conserve raw materials. Further it can also lead to the energy saving and creating new jobs. Considering all the positive impacts of polymer recycling on environment, economy and society, considerable attention is being given to recover materials from polymer wastes.This book is ideal for all those who are interested in recycling of post-consumer polymer waste. It is the outcome of untiring efforts of the researchers with extensive experience in the field of recycled polymers. The book enables the reader to gain a thorough understanding of the chemistry and processing of recycled polymers and also provides an instrumental resource for those already working in this field.Some of the main features are:Highlights the chemistry of recycled polymers and compares with traditional polymersDiscusses the processing of different kinds of recycled polymersHighlights new frontiers in the different processing techniquesEvaluates the performance of recycled polymersFocus on recyclability and up-to date progress on recycled polymersPresent state of polymer recycling
