------------------------------------------------- Industrial wastewater treatment Industrial wastewater treatment covers the mechanisms and processes used to treat waters that have been contaminated in some way by anthropogenic industrial or commercial activities prior to its release into the environment or its re-use. Most industries produce some wet waste although recent trends in the developed world have been to minimise such production or recycle such waste within the production process. However

Since all natural waterways contain bacteria and nutrients‚ almost any waste compounds introduced into such waterways will initiate biochemical reactions (such as shown above). Those biochemical reactions create what is measured in the laboratory as the Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD). Such chemicals are also liable to be broken down using strong oxidizing agents and these chemical reactions create what is measured in the laboratory as the Chemical oxygen demand (COD). Both the BOD and COD tests

agi 1. The difference of Coupled and Decoupled payments? Farm payments were coupled to production once upon a time. The more farmers produced the more they received in payments. Under these conditions it did not take long for people to come to the conclusion that farmers were farming the program and not making production decisions based on market prices and conditions. As a result‚ it was argued that the payments led to distortions in the marketplace resulting in excessive production in

Water pollution is a serious matter‚ and can be defined as a problem. Poor water quality is just another way of saying water pollution. Water pollution is when one or more substances build up in water to such an extent‚ that several problems for animals and humans develop. Rivers‚ lakes‚ oceans‚ and other inland waters are able to naturally clean up certain amounts of the pollution by dispersing them harmlessly. Water pollution depends on the quantities: how much of the polluting substance is released

It is easy person to point their finger at big industrial and chemical plants and blame them for the cause of so much pollution in our water. When taking a closer look‚ those same people pointing the finger are equally contributing to the pollution of our water supply and are also to blame. This person could be a friend‚ family member‚ classmate‚ or even you. Even if people do not think that they have a part in this‚ most do.

Another interesting thing is that there is a projected walkway to be built under the high rise which they will have chambers underneath to release methane to a nearby power plant and sewage to a nearby sewage treatment plant. (Vertical Farm) Another interesting but beneficial advantage to vertical farming is that it would bring so much to a growing urban area. For instance‚ if a vertical farm was built in an urban area it

Now‚ London has changed because of population increase and lack of government involvement. Because of lack of attention‚ each year 30 million tons of sewage flows into the River Thames. It is estimated by the Environmental Protection Agency in America that 850 billion gallons of raw sewage is discharged into bodies of water annually. The sewage has caused
