The presence of cyanide is a significant issue in industrial and municipal wastewater treatment and management, in remediation of former manufactured gas plant sites and aluminum production waste disposal sites, in treatment and management of residuals from hydrometallurgical gold mining, and in other industrial operations in which cyanide-bearing

This conference represents an effort to enhance the EPA's clean lakes program by providing a forum to discuss the practical application of lake restoration technology.
The World Health Organization in 2004 estimated approximately 1.1 billion people did not have access to clean water and that 35% of Third World residents died from water-borne illnesses. While the situation is grim, recent advances strongly indicate that many of the current water quality problems can be addresses – and potentially resolved – using nanotechnology.Nanotechnology is already having a dramatic impact on research in water quality and Nanotechnology Applications for Clean Water highlights both the challenges and the opportunities for nanotechnology to positively influence this area of environmental protection.Here you will find detailed information on breakthroughs, cutting edg...

Dieser umfassende Leitfaden zur Evaluierung, Auswahl und zum Einsatz nachhaltiger Materialien im Landschaftsbau bietet einen Überblick über Strategien, mit denen sich die Auswirkungen herkömmlicher Baumaterialien auf die Umwelt und die menschliche Gesundheit minimieren lassen, und stellt ökologische Alternativen vor. Neben detaillierten und aktuellen Informationen zu Baumaterialien für eine "grüne Bebauung" erhält der Leser eine Einführung in Werkzeuge, Techniken, Vorstellungen und Quellen für die Evaluierung, Beschaffung und Spezifikation nachhaltiger Baustoffe. In den jeweiligen Kapiteln werden sowohl herkömmliche als auch neue ökologische Materialien, Auswirkungen der einzelnen Baustoffe auf die Umwelt und die menschliche Gesundheit sowie Strategien zur Minimierung derartiger Belastungen beschrieben. Fallstudien geben Auskunft über Kosten und Leistungsmerkmale und dokumentieren die gesammelten praktischen Erfahrungen.
Cyanide occurs in many industrial and municipal wastewaters and is often an expected constituent of typical treatment plant wastewater streams. However, a growing number of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) across the USA have detected cyanide in cholorinated effluents at levels exceeding influent concentrations. Because water quality criteria and related discharge limits are typically low some of these WWTPs periodically exceed effluent cyanide standards. Potential causes include cyanide formation during wastewater cholrination processes, the presence of interferences that cause false negatives, and false positives caused by artifacts of sample handling or analytical techniques. The possible causes of the apparent cyanide formation phenomenon were investigated in this study.
