What if your neighbor kept dumping polluted water and solid waste pollutants on your lawn and all around your house?
The paper refers the results of a research on the characteristics of a mine backfill used for the dual purpose of disposing mining waste pollutants and stabilize the voids of an abandoned mine with subsidence problems.
A corporation provides value to its customers and needs new measures of customer value related to materials, energy, waste, and pollutant output.
In doing so, environmental sustainability requires improved resources use-productivity (Seliger et al. 2008; Zubir et al. 2012) in order to reduce natural resource material as well as consequent waste and pollutant outputs.
Humans are unique among living things in that their activities result in the production of waste materials (pollutants) that, by virtue of their chemical structure, are poisonous to all living things, including themselves.
An algorithm for waste and pollutants reduction in reactor design is presented in this paper.
The manufacture ('Green Chemistry') of chemicals with decreased waste and pollutants will continue to be actively pursued by many chemical manufacturers with increasing successes.
Furthermore, MFCs can generate electricity from biomass waste and pollutants in wastewater by exploiting naturally occurring microbial communities as self-organizing anode catalysts (Rozendal et al. 2008; Lefebvre et al. 2011).
Microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) holds the flexible potentials for waste biorefinery, pollutants removal, CO2 capture, and bioelectrosynthesis of clean and renewable electrofuels or valuable chemical commodities, dealing with the depletion of fossil fuels and environmental deterioration issues.
