by Nicholas P. Cheremisinoff
This book focuses on reducing manufacturing and environmental compliance costs by
instituting feedstock substitution, improved operational schemes, recycling and
by-product recovery, waste minimization, and energy efficiency policies, and offers
project cost accounting tools that assist in evaluating money-saving P2 options.
Features:
- examines arsenic, lead, nitrogen oxides, mercury, SOx, NOx, particulate matter,
acid rain, and ground-level ozone
- weighs the advantages of P2 practices over conventional end-of-pipe treatment technologies
- discusses establishing baseline costs, performing total cost assessment, and executing
life cycle analysis
- considers specific P2 case studies for petrochemicals, coke, dye, and pharmaceuticals
manufacturing
- explains nickel ore processing and refining; iron, steel, and aluminum manufacturing;
and copper, lead, and zinc smelting
- highlights examples of current and recommended procedures for
the paper, sugar, electronics, glass, printing, and textile industries
- and more!
