What is an Effluent? Effluent is an out flowing of water or gas from a natural body or a man made structure. Effluent is defined by the United States Environmental Protection Agency as “wastewater - treated or untreated - that flows out of a treatment plant‚ sewer‚ or industrial outfall. Generally refers to wastes discharged into surface waters”. The Compact Oxford English Dictionary defines effluent as “liquid waste or sewage discharged into a river or the sea”.

which monitors the quality of waters all year. The network monitors waters all over India. Samples of water are taken frequently and checked for bacteria and other harmful substances within the water. Other ways of sewage treatment include air flotation‚ dual media filter‚ activated carbon filter‚ sand filtration and sludge drying beds. These methods all take place in sewage treatment plants. Water treatment plants are very expensive and are needed to be maintained constantly. Removal of sludge is said to be the most untreated area of water treatment

Shredding and grinding tires: By shredding‚ the volume of scrap tires can be reduced to about ¼‚ thus reducing space requirement and shipping costs. Tire shredding can be considered a mature technology now in North America. Products: Rubber Crumb (sellable product – serves as raw material to many many industries) Finer synthetic and natural rubber (obviously after treatments) which can be used in Tiles and tile adhesives‚ mixing with asphalt‚ sports surfaces‚ carpet underlay‚ noise and vibration

Healing Wonders of Charcoal Chapter One The Problem Introduction The use of charcoal as a simple remedy for different health problems is an ancient way of treating many common diseases that afflict humankind dates back to the time of Hippocrates who lived from 460 to 370 B.C. In the late 1800‚ Ellen G. White spearheaded the use of charcoal in the treatment of different diseases. A sincere and prayerful Christian‚ she wrote many books including health books such as: Ministry of Healing‚ Medical

form a solution. The term sorption encompasses both processes‚ while desorption is the reverse process. Adsorption is operative in most natural physical‚ biological‚ and chemical systems‚ and is widely used in industrial applications such as activated charcoal‚ synthetic resins and water purification. Similar to surface tension‚ adsorption is a consequence of surface energy. In a bulk material‚ all the bonding requirements (be they ionic‚ covalent or metallic) of the constituent atoms of the
