Affaldshåndtering

Fra jord til bord: Lav dine egne planter helt fra bunden!Så dine frø og kerner gør det nemt at lave dine egne planter helt fra bunden. Det kræver kun nogle frø eller kerner, en lille smule udstyr og lidt plads – og du kan gøre det indendøre året rundt. Det er alletiders projekt for enhver, der har lyst til at begynde at dyrke i lille skala, og det er også en glimrende måde at lære børn noget om planter, og hvordan de gror.Lær fx om, hvordan du gør dine appelsinkerner, daddelsten og jordnødder til stueplanter og dyrker figen- og chiliplanter, så de giver frugt. Kom kernerne i jorden og oplev glæden ved at se, hvordan et lille skud udvikler sig til en plante. Derfor: Før du smider dine kerner i skraldespanden, så tænk på, at du kan få noget nyttigt ud af dem i stedet – det eneste, du har brug for, er en urtepotte og en vindueskarm. Det er sjovt at genbruge dit køkkenaffald – og bæredygtigt!Udgivet af Samvirke i samarbejde med Haveselskabet

Vi er den eneste art på Jorden, der efterlader os affald, som ingen andre arter ønsker eller kan bruge til noget. Men nu er der mikro-plast i havene, insektdød og rod i økosystemerne, og det skyldes vores manglende evne til at håndtere det affald, vi selv har skabt i vores hastige udvikling. Det kan ikke fortsætte.Vi må bruge vores fantasi til at betragte affaldsudfordringen med opfinderbriller. Affald er et demokratisk råmateriale, som enhver har adgang til. Ligesom fantasien. Med fantasiens hjælp kan vi forædle affaldet på intelligente og kreative måder, så det, der ligner værdiløse spildprodukter, kan genopstå som ny værdi – også i økonomisk forstand.AFFALD OG FANTASI er en guide til at tænke vildt – for fremtidens skyld. Bogen fortæller om danskere fra Lemvig til København NV, som har gjort sig selv til moderne alkymister, og den viser, hvordan du også kan komme til at spille en rolle i et grønt paradigmeskift. Affald og fantasi kan meget vel vise sig at være den både betydeligste og sjoveste vej til at skabe den verden, vi ønsker os.

The purpose of this book is to discuss the challenges that have arisen due to petroleum hydrocarbon wastes, their harmful effects to the ecosystem, and limitations as well as improvement of current biological techniques¿ use for management of petroleum hydrocarbon wastes. This book focuses on the role of advanced green engineering technologies for sustainable petroleum waste management in building an economic supportable society as a basic need of developing countries. The rapid economic growth achieved in last decade has been paralleled by an increase in global energy consumption resulting generation of massive amount of industrial wastes. Petroleum wastes release through spillages and leakage from underground tanks, steamers, unplugging of oil wells, and abandoned oil refinery sites that cause extensive contamination of surface soils, groundwater, seas, and ocean resulting in ecosystem damage. Apart from these, petroleum industries release a significant amount of hydrocarbonwastes during processing of crude oil. Improper waste management technique of these petroleum wastes may cause a serious effect toward the living beings. The presence of these hazardous wastes in the environment will make vulnerable conditions to the aquatic as well as terrestrial life. Till date, a number of conventional techniques have been implemented to treat these petroleum hazardous wastes, but biological treatment is more efficient among all on basics of economic and environmental point of view. Bioaugmentation, biostimulation, and combinatorial bioaugmentation and biostimulation waste management strategies are implemented to treat these wastes. In addition to these techniques, biocomposting/biopile, land treatment, and bio-slurry methods have also been employed to reduce the endanger effects of petroleum wastes. Integrating waste management through environmental sustainability and economic development is one of the prime milestones in the circular economy. There is anexigent necessity for developing countries to go ahead toward a circular economy for achieving its Sustainable Development Goals.

The presence of the suspended solids is the most easily visible impurity in the liquid streams in several processes or the urban and industrial wastewater. These suspended particles may be either organic or inorganic in nature and can create problems in the process. The separation of the suspended solids using gravity settling to produce clarified overflow and thickened solids underflow has been used in the wastewater industry. The terms sedimentation or clarification are used to describe the process of gravity separation, depending on if the process focus is on the clarified water or the thickened solids, respectively. The standard gravity settler design often fails to achieve the desired separation efficiency due to deviation from the normal operation conditions. This happens due to changes in the upstream i.e., feed to the gravity settler. In this situation, the behavior of the flow and particles in the top region of the tank is of particular interest since the particles remain in the supernatant and are carried to the effluent reducing the separation efficiency of the gravity settlers. The separation of the particles in the gravity settler depends on several factors. One of the most important factors is the recirculation zones in the gravity settlers. The prediction of these recirculation zones is important in order to modify the design of the gravity settler for enhancing the separation efficiency.
