Overview

Industry contributes various kinds of pollutants to the environment and different countries are facing different types of industrial pollution problems that are attracting a lot of attention worldwide. The industry sector generates both traditional pollutants (e.g., organic substances, sulphur dioxide, particulates and nutrients) as well as newly-recognised pollutants (e.g., specific toxic substances). Thus, industry has particular environmental responsibility in terms of such factors as plant location and design, environmental pollution, vibration and noise controls, waste disposal, occupational health and safety aspects, and long-range planning. This two-volume book summarises various aspects of pollution prevention and waste minimisation aspects in various industries. It discusses emissions from particulate matter and its control, industrial wastewater and its treatment, common effluent treatment plant, industrial biotechnology and climate change, pollution control in mechanical, electrical, metallurgical and mining industry, pollution control in cement, ceramic and glass industry, pollution control in chemical process and allied industries, pollution control in sugar, pulp and paper, rubber and plastic industries. A unique features of the book is chapters on process integration for pollution prevention and energy saving and nanotechnology for industrial pollution prevention.
