Handbook of Pollution Prevention Practices
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!
