CHEMICALS AND WASTE MANAGEMENT

Image
When a product reaches the end of its life cycle, they are disposed of in landfills and are defined as waste. However scientifically speaking, there isn’t such a thing as waste in the world. If the components of solid waste are converted or treated in a scientific manner it will have some potential. Hence solid wastes are organic  or inorganic waste  materials produced out of household or commercial activities, that have lost its value. Howsoever big or small the habitat, the generation of waste is inevitable. The gradual deviation of the society from nature is reflected upon the quantity of garbage that a community generates. Urbanization, Population explosion, fast adoption of ‘use & throw’ concepts are all worsening the waste management  techniques implemented by the authorities. The critical component in the manufacture of many products, and protection of human health, and an important contributor to the GDP are Chemicals . ...

Wastewater Chemical Treatment Processes

Perhaps one of the most important nutrient in our diets, Water is needed to be consumed by human adults every day, approximately to 2 liters. Our requirement for drinking fresh water is not usually met by the water resources that are available to us.  Water containing large amounts of industrial waste  or agricultural  chemicals  can also be toxic and unfit for drinking. Hence, humans have a great need for a reliable source of clean freshwater for drinking. Chemicals are used during wastewater treatment in an array of processes to expedite disinfection. Chemical unit processes  are those chemical processes , which include chemical reactions  with biological and physical cleaning processes to achieve clean water. Chemical coagulation , chemical precipitation , advanced oxidation, ion exchange, chemical oxidation  and chemical neutralization  and stabilization are applied to wastewater during cleaning. Coagulation/Flocculation/Sediment...
