This volume covers the technologies that are applied to the treatment and purification of water. Those who are generally familiar with this field will immediately embrace the subject as a treatise on solid-liquid separations. However, the subject is much broader, in that the technologies discussed are not just restricted to pollution control hardware that rely only upon physical methods of treating and purifymg wastewaters.

The procedures described in these standards are intended for the examination of waters of a wide range of quality, including water suitable for domestic or industrial supplies, surface water, ground water, cooling or circulating water, boiler water, boiler feed water, treated and untreated municipal or industrial wastewater, and saline water. The unity of the fields of water supply, receiving water quality, and wastewater treatment and disposal is recognized by presenting methods of analysis for each constituent in a single section for all types of waters.

Human activities have a large and important impact on the environment. Naturally occurring elements or compounds are often concentrated and redistributed in the environment through industrial processes, power production, and consumer activity. For example, lead, which is found in naturally occurring mineral deposits, has become a major pollutant through its use in batteries, paints, and gasoline additives.

A classroom debate at the Wharton School turned out to be a preface to this book. The professor, an economist, handed out an internal memo prepared by Lawrence Summers, then chief economist of the World Bank. He wrote: Just between you and me, shouldn’t the World Bank be encouraging more migration of the dirty industries to the LDCS [less developed countries]? I can think of three reasons:

RNA turnover and processing have now been demonstrated to be important steps that directly affect protein synthesis and the cell’s ability to survive in nature. However, the analysis of mRNA decay and polyadenylation in Escherichia coli has long been considered technically difficult. The development over the past 15 years of methods for the isolation and characterization of both mRNA and polyadenylated species has made the study of these important pathways of RNA metabolism more straightforward (Arraiano et al., 1988; O’Hara et al., 1995; Mohanty and Kushner, 1999)....

The extent of pollution and toxicity depends upon the raw material used, pulping method, and pulp bleaching process adapted by the pulp and paper mills. For example, the pollution load from hardwood is lower than softwood. On the other hand, the spent liquor generated from pulping of nonwood fiber has a high silica content. Volumes of wastewater discharged may vary from near zero to 400 m3 per ton of pulp depending on the raw material used, manufacturing process, and size of the mill [6].

Intensity of use of freshwater resources (both surface and groundwater) is expressed as gross abstractions per capita, as a percentage of total available renewable freshwater resources, including inflows from neighbouring countries (see below) and as a percentage of internal resources. It has to be noted that when measured at national level these indicators may hide significant variations at territorial level. Wastewater treatment connection rates show the percentage of the national population actually connected to public waste water treatment plants.

In this article, wastewater containing 2,4,6 trinitrotoluen (TNT) was treated by internal microelectrolysis with bimetal Fe-Cu materials. Components of TNT pollutant content was identified by HPLC method. Examined factors: pH, time, temperature, concentration of Fe-Cu bimetal to efficient treatment of TNT in the wastewater. With conditions at pH 5, bimetal Fe-Cu dosage of 50 g for l litre of wastewater, TNT original content in the wastewater infected about 95-106.4 mg/l, temperature of 25 0 C, after 6 hours of processing time, content TNT rest 0.2 - 0.5 mg/l, after 6 hours not observed.

In this study, we report for the first time on the photocatalytic decolorization of Procion 032 Carmine Red (PC032) using titania nanotubes (TNTs). Photocatalysts of TNTs were synthesized by hydrothermal method under strong alkali condition using powder TiO2 as a precursor and calcined at different temperatures (100 - 700oC).

When one is confronted with a new problem that involves the collection and analysis of data, two crucial questions are: How will using statistics help solve this problem? And, Which techniques should be used? This book is intended to help environmental engineers answer these questions in order to better understand and design systems for environmental protection. The book is not about the environmental systems, except incidentally. It is about how to extract information from data and how informative data are generated in the first place.

Critical aspects for the wider application of ultraviolet (UV) light in drinking water treatment sometimes have been described, in spite of the success of the method as established in the field: • Absence of well-established and generally accepted design rules • Absence of a permanently active residual agent in the treated water • Suspicions of the possible photochemical formation of by-products • Possibility of revival–reactivation by repair mechanisms of irradiated organisms • Need for operational control of the permanent reliability of the technique...

Economic, technical and environmental efficiency and feasibility, bases to apply to practical conditions were evaluated. The results show that water accounts for about 70% of sludge. Contents of Ni, Cr and Fe are relatively high (20, 4.5 and 2.5%, respectively). ...

Near-Surface Geochemistry – Near-surface geochemistry methods can be used to detect shortterm rapid loss or long-term intermittent leakage of CO2 from GS formations. These techniques are routinely employed in the environmental consulting industry and include monitoring soil gas and shallow groundwater. In general, both consist of purging the monitoring point and collecting a sample, followed by analysis and interpretation. Soil gas can be collected with sorbents, sample tubes, or Tedlar bags, depending on the compounds expected and the detection level.

This study was performed to develop software sensorsto predict the BOD5 of river water and wastewater. The software sensors were based on the multiple-regression analysis using the dissolved organic carbon(DOC) concentration, UV light absorbance at 254nm and synchronous fluorescence spectra. River water samples and wastewater treatment plant (WWTP)effluents were collected at 1-hour interval to evaluatethe feasibility of the software sensors.

This paper presents the results of the effect content of short bamboo fiber prepared by mechanical method and alkaline treatment on mechanical properties of polymer composites (PC) based on polypropylene (PP). With content of 50% in composition, the tensile, the flexible and impact strengths have been increased as 24%, 23% and 40%, respectively in comparison with original PP. Using the prepared bamboo fiber by steam explosion method in stead of mechanical one, the tensile strength of composite increases 16%, mean while the flexible and impact strength have the equivalent value.
