Book Description
A state-of-the-art survey was made of the water pollution problems which result from the production of inorganic fertilizers and phosphate rock. Information required to complete the study was obtained through an extensive literature search, questionnaires sent to the major fertilizer producers, and visits to selected production plants. Ninety eight plants representing thirty three different companies were surveyed. Production figures since 1940 and estimates of production through 1980 were accumulated for phosphate rock and the major fertilizer products. The specific production operations which are the principal generators of contaminated waste waters were identified, and the waste water volumes and compositions for each operation were determined wherever possible. The capability of current technology to treat and control the contaminated waste waters generated by the fertilizer industry was evaluated. Problem areas where additional research and development effort is needed to provide adequate control of waste water discharge were identified.

Inorganic Pollutants in Water
Author: Pooja Devi
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0128189657
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 444
Book Description
Inorganic Pollutants in Water provides a clear understanding of inorganic pollutants and the challenges they cause in aquatic environments. The book explores the point of source, how they enter water, the effects they have, and their eventual detection and removal. Through a series of case studies, the authors explore the success of the detection and removal techniques they have developed. Users will find this to be a single platform of information on inorganic pollutants that is ideal for researchers, engineers and technologists working in the fields of environmental science, environmental engineering and chemical engineering/ sustainability. Through this text, the authors introduce new researchers to the problem of inorganic contaminants in water, while also presenting the current state-of-the-art in terms of research and technologies to tackle this problem.

Regulation, Market Prices, And Process Innovation
Author: Edward Greenberg
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000237656
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 262
Book Description
Through the study of innovation in processes for the production of synthetic ammonia, the authors examine the effects of environmental and workplace regulations on business innovation in general. They present a history of ammonia production in the U.S., a survey of government regulation in the industry, and a model of process innovation that combines the economist's production function with the technical and practical concepts of the engineer. Contrary to the widely held view that regulation has an unfortunate impact on business, the authors demonstrate that—at least in one industry—the economic factors of production have a measurable impact on innovation, while regulation does not.

Agricultural Waste Management
Author: Raymond Loehr
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 032314506X
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 591
Book Description
Agricultural Waste Management: Problems, Processes, and Approaches is a summary of the processes and approaches applicable to the solution of agricultural waste management problems. This book is organized into three part encompassing 13 chapters that is intended as a bridge between theory and practice as well as between the many disciplines that are involved in agricultural waste management. The primary focus of agricultural waste management is on the obvious problems of odor control and feedlot runoff. The first part looks into the status of agricultural waste problem and the application of engineering and scientific fundamentals to the management of these wastes. This part also deals with the role of the land in waste management, and then outlines the guidelines for the development of feasible waste management systems. The second part describes the fundamentals, principles, and benefits of various waste management processes, including biological processes, ponds and lagoons, aerobic, anaerobic, physical, and chemical treatments, and nitrogen control; as well as treatment systems, such as ponds, lagoons, and land disposal. The third part examines the integration of the most economical and equitable combination of alternative technologies into feasible waste management approaches. This work will be of great value to agricultural producers and manufacturers, scientists, and engineers.
