Introduction Into the Theory of Environmentally Compatible Structures
ISBN: 9783843359429 / Angielski / Miękka / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The rapid growth of the 20th century uncontrolled post-war industry, following the growth of population, resulted in serious pollution of the air, water and earth. Almost 40% of the pollution is due to the building industry and traffic. As shown by outstanding Harvard and MIT Professors, any uncontrolled development of industry and traffic will result in conflicts with the global principle of limits in all fields of the environment, geological resources of building materials, capacity of land, etc., unless adequate measures are taken to ensure sustainable development in the...

Supporting Policy Formulation for Sustainable Biofuel Production
ISBN: 9783843361040 / Angielski / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The increased demand for biofuels is expected to put additional strain on the available agricultural resources while at the same time causing environmental degradation. Hence, new energy policies need to be formulated and implemented in order to meet global energy needs while reducing the impact of biofuel crop farming and production. To allow for the same, the author has made use of the concepts of Fuzzy logic and Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) in the form of Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) to develop software functionalities.The software functionalities provide a...

Environmental Management Systems: Regulatory or Voluntary Approach?
ISBN: 9783843350143 / Angielski / Miękka / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Cities are the highest consumers of resources that directly or indirectly affect the environment. Experts comment is that if no immediate action is taken to reverse the present situation, the problem will not only affect human health and safety but also international and national security. Improving environmental management without compromising other aspects of sustainable development is a major challenge, particularly for developing countries. The long prevailing tradition of environmental management through a command-and-control approach based on existing rules and regulations...

Water Quality Modeling
ISBN: 9783843370349 / Angielski / Miękka / 68 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Fresh water sources such as rivers, lakes, streams and brooks constitute less than one percent of all available water on earth. However, pollution activities have been impacting negatively on these sources of water supply thereby compromising quality and creating environmental problems. Studies have shown that these water bodies auto-purify themselves from pollutants discharged into them under certain conditions. This work investigated the auto-recovery processes of River Illo in Ota, Nigeria from abattoir wastes which is one of the most common pollution activities in developing countries....

Wood Protection
ISBN: 9783838370057 / Angielski / Miękka / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Health and safety risks and environmental issues have lead to a series of restrictions in the use of traditional wood preservatives worldwide. As a result, novel chemical formulations are constantly being developed, as well as there is a resurgence of commercial interest in different non-biocidal approaches. This book aimed to identify the potential chemical (whether in use or in development stages), as well as non-biocidal approaches of wood preservation, appropriate to each of the European hazard class (EN-335-1), in the light of recent global restrictions on the use of traditional wood...

Land Use Change and Reform in the Tropics
ISBN: 9783843371421 / Angielski / Miękka / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The last decades witnessed an ever increasing concern for sustainable development worldwide together with unprecedented trends of human disturbance to land ecosystems. The case of tropical countries is particularly complex and largely misunderstood for being multi cultural regions with high biodiversity, politically unstable, economically weak, and usually struggling for a better integration with the global market. Most of the interventions were planned in the "North" and "from above" with insufficient understanding of local people rationality and real needs. Results from study cases in...

Polymer-Supported Hydrated Fe Oxide (Hfo) Nanoparticles
ISBN: 9783843374286 / Angielski / Miękka / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In environmental remediation, many nanoscale inorganic particles (NIPs) offer favorable properties for selective immobilization of target contaminants. The preparation of NIPs is safe, simple, and inexpensive. However, these tiny particles cannot be used in fixed-bed columns or in any plug flow type configuration due to excessive pressure drops and poor durability. Harnessing these NIPs within polymeric beads offers new opportunities in the area environmental separation and control. In this study two materials were dispersed with the NIPs: hybrid anion exchanger (HAIX)and dual zone...

A Spent Naphthenic Caustic Treatment Plant
ISBN: 9783843377232 / Angielski / Miękka / 92 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In recent times, oil refineries around the world have been faced with more stringent regulations for liquid and gas effluent streams that can cause air or water pollution. Sodium hydroxide or caustic continues to be one of the primary reagents used in refineries to extract hydrogen sulphide, mercaptans and organic acids from hydrocarbon streams. If discharged directly to natural waterways, used caustic solutions from hydrocarbon treating systems could adversely affect drinking water quality and aquatic populations. Alternatively, if these used caustic solutions are discharged directly into...

Transport and Biotransformation of Chromium in Contaminated Aquifers
ISBN: 9783843383400 / Angielski / Miękka / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book includes transport studies with Batch and bench scale soil column to evaluate the effectiveness of Cr(VI) containment in confined aquifers using in-situ bio-transformation. Sorption studies were carried out to estimate the adsorption capacities of various soils for Cr(VI), Cr(III), Li and Molasses. Bio-kinetic parameters were evaluated for the enriched microbial system isolated from the contaminated site. Transport studies indicated that it would not be possible to contain Cr(VI) by adsorption alone. Transport and bio-transformation studies indicated that the pore velocity and the...

ISBN: 9783843386418 / Angielski / Miękka / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Wastewater treatment is an imperative environmental challenge facing Mumias Sugar Company in Kenya. The company releases wastewater with inconsistent loading levels into River Nzoia. Findings from this study indicated that mean values for five parameters; pH, BOD5, COD ,TDS, and TSS all were above both NEMA and WHO standards for effluent discharge into the environment. Wastewater through the by-pass is discharged at relatively high velocity into the river and no pollution parameter loading is monitored. The study also revealed that four parameters; temperature, BOD5, COD, and TSS mean...
