The mutual relationship between
environment and corrosion has not been studied in depth so
far. When a corrosion-related accident such as a major leak
from a pipeline or the collapse of a structure
happens,corrosion engineers and environmental engineers each
look at it from their own viewpoint. These viewpoints have
not been systematically investigated and analyzed within the
same context so far. We will show that corrosion
prevention is not an environmentally friendly activity.
Thus,...

Australia produces approximately 40% of
the worlds bauxite and over 30% of the worlds alumina.
Each year, about 25 million tonnes of bauxite residue is
produced in Australia, requiring storage and maintenance.
The construction and operation of such large impoundment
areas is costly. During the extraction of alumina from
bauxite ore using the Bayer process, a fine residue is
produced called Red Mud. In West Australia, Darling Range
bauxite deposits contain high levels of quartz which result
...

The book deals with the study of correlation relationship of factors affecting leachate quality to predict pollutant from landfill which are determined by temperature, precipitation and waste age. Results of the study revealed that there is a good correlation of pollutants leaching from landfill to the factors of temperature, precipitation and waste age. Higher pollutant concentration is found in average age landfill than mature age landfill site mainly due to transition from acetogenic phase to methanogenic phase of pollutant decomposition. Using multiple regression Aaalysis method,...

This book considers the application of recycled materials both in pavement and geotechnical engineering. Currently, Australia has faced the fundamental concern of recycling waste plastic. On 1 January 2018, China enforced a prohibition on the importation of waste plastic. China's ban is followed by other countries like India, Indonesia, and Malaysia. The ban caused many corporations to abandon waste collection agreements, and the stockpiling of waste, as there is nowhere to safely deposit this waste. This issue seems, to a great extent, to have placed Australia's recycling industry in a...
