A visionary approach to eliminating industrial waste streams . .. Here is a revolutionary solution to problems of industrial wastemanagement by creating a system of environmentally balanced"industrial complexes" in which groups of industrial plants consumeeach other's waste--not only benefiting the environment, but alsosignificantly reducing production costs. Providing a clear introduction to this novel approach, ZeroPollution for Industry goes right to the heart of whatenvironmental scientists, engineers, and administrators grapplewith these days. It takes pollution prevention to the next level,past current reduction and reuse methods, and anticipatesgovernment regulations and societal trends that would factorenvironmental damage into production costs. Also suitable as a companion volume for traditional industrialwaste management texts at the graduate level, thisthought-provoking book: * Covers hot new material under consideration by professionals andpolicymakers, including the EPA and the NSF * Discusses the basics of waste minimization and waste reuse aswell as zero-pollution industrial complexing * Presents detailed examples of how complexes in differentindustries could be structured * Describes how to change industrial plant design practices toprevent pollution * Teaches innovative production techniques for environmentalprotection to future engineers and administrators * Shows how to plan for a pollution-free environment from anadministrative point of view Concise and uncluttered, this book is an eye-opener for anyone whowould like to work toward a world free of industrial pollution inour fragile environment.
Environmental ENGINEERING Environmental ENGINEERING PREVENTION and RESPONSE to Water-, Food-, Soil-, and Airborne Disease and Illness Sixth Edition First published in 1958, Salvato’s Environmental Engineering has long been the definitive reference for generations of sanitation and environmental engineers. Approaching its fiftieth year of continual publication in a rapidly changing field, the Sixth Edition has been fully reworked and reorganized into three separate, succinct volumes to adapt to a more complex and scientifically demanding field with dozens of specializations. Updated and reviewed by leading experts in the field, this revised edition offers new coverage of appropriate technology for developing countries. Stressing the practicality and appropriateness of treatment, the Sixth Edition provides realistic solutions for the practicing public health official or environmental engineer. This volume, Environmental Engineering: Prevention and Response to Water-, Food-, Soil-, and Airborne Disease and Illness, Sixth Edition covers: Disease transmission by contaminated water Food-borne diseases Control of diseases of the air and land Appropriate technology for developing countries Environmental emergencies and emergency preparedness Also available: Environmental Engineering, Sixth Edition: Water, Wastewater, Soil and Groundwater Treatment and Remediation 978-0-470-08303-1 Environmental Engineering, Sixth Edition: Environmental Health and Safety for Municipal Infrastructure, Land Use & Planning, and Industry 978-0-470-08305-5
Strategies of Industrial and Hazardous Waste Management by Nelson L. Nemerow and Frank J. Agardy For years, plant engineers, engineering professors, municipal engineers, EPA personnel, and other professionals have relied on the expertise of these authors in the area of industrial and hazardous waste management. This book is full of new ideas, methods, models, data, updated information, and new case histories. This latest classic reference from Nelson Nemerow and Frank Agardy is by far the most comprehensive and useful source available on the generation, treatment, and disposal of all significant industrial and hazardous wastes. Strategies of Industrial and Hazardous Waste Management addresses the needs of its wide-ranging audience by dividing its coverage into four parts: Part I presents the basic information the industrial waste engineer needs to know about the environmental impact of various wastes, writing environmental impact statements, protecting streams from further pollution, calculating final treatments, testing treatment efficiency, and the influence of economic factors on waste treatment decisions. Part II explores theories and designs of waste treatment, and shows how waste can be reduced through proper operation of manufacturing plants. It ranges beyond the removal of suspended and colloidal solids to include coverage of neutralization, equalization and proportioning, removal of inorganic dissolved salts, and private contract collection and treatment. Also included is a novel paradigm for obtaining zero pollution in the future through environmentally balanced industrial complexes. Part III demonstrates waste management in action, using case studies from around the world to show theories and models successfully adapted and put into practice. All cases are based on the authors' actual experiences--the cases in Chapters 17, 19, 22, 23, and 24 have never been previously published. Part IV offers concise evaluations of all major liquid Industrial wastes, including their origins, characteristics, and acceptable treatments. Industries are classified into six categories: apparel, food processing, materials, chemicals, energy, and (in significantly extended coverage) non-point practices. Included are separate considerations of radioactive and hazardous (as opposed to conventional) waste. No waste-management professional should be without this essential volume. Focused on need-to-know information, common pitfalls, and practical solutions to all kinds of problems, Strategies of Industrial and Hazardous Waste Management is an answer source unlike any other.
In our changing world, society demands more comprehensive and thoughtful solutions from environmental engineers, environmental consultants and scientists dealing with the degradation of our environment. Lead by Nelson Nemerow and Franklin Agardy, experts in business, academia, government and practice have been brought together in Environmental Solutions to provide guidance for these environmental professionals. The reader is presented with a variety of solutions to common and not so common environmental problems which lay the groundwork for environmental advocates to decide which solutions will work best for their particular circumstances. This book discusses chemical, biological, physical, forensic, medical, international, economic, political, industrial-collaborative solutions and solutions for rural and developing countries giving readers the freedom to evaluate a variety of options and make informed decisions. End of chapter questions and additional resources are included making this an invaluable teaching tool and ideal reference for those currently involved in improving and preserving our environment. - Contributions by international experts in government, industry, and academia. - Editors are recognized as the editors of Environmental Engineering, the best selling title published by John Wiley. - The first action-oriented book for environmental engineers.
