Industrial waste and it's types

-

 Industrial waste is the waste produced by industrial activity which includes any material that is rendered useless during a manufacturing process of factories, mills and mines. Or Industrial waste refers to the solid, liquid and gaseous emissions, residual and unwanted wastes from an industrial operation. Industrial wastes are hazardous since they may be toxic, ignitable, reactive and leading to extensive pollution. Among the great variety of industrial wastes that are generated gases, acids, metallic compounds, oils, radioactive and complex synthetic chemicals.


Types of Industrial waste

To some extent, people divide industrial waste into 2 major categories: waste from heavy industry and waste from light industry. It contains a wide range of complex components. To simplify, put them into 3 core states: solid, liquid and gas. 


 Solid waste

 Liquid waste

 Gaseous waste


Solid waste

Solid waste refers to non-soluble material such as agricultural refuse, industrial waste, mining residues, demolition waste, municipal garbage or even sewage sludge. Solid industrial waste generated from processing plants and factories such as metals, chemicals, plastic and building materials. If these wastes are not properly disposed or recycled, certainly, they will be dropped out the surrounding environment and then damage people’s lives


Liquid waste

Liquid waste can be defined as the presence, of some foreign substances or impurities (organic, inorganic, radiological or biological) in water in such a quantity so as to constitute a health hazard by lowering the water quality and making it unfit for use. The origin of liquid industrial waste is oil refinery, cement, fertilizers, paint and rubber industries, sugar mills, cooking oil factories, paper manufacturing plants and food processing plants etc. Waste from these industries mainly contains hazardous material and contain hundreds of toxic chemicals which are discarded to rivers, lakes and seas. Every year, there are so many circumstances of liquid waste that cause severe damages to both human health and environment.


Gaseous waste

Gaseous waste is defined as uncontrolled airborne emissions and effluents. These emissions consist of gas, mist, smoke, vapor, matter, fumes or any combinations. Gaseous waste primarily comes out as a result of industries such as manufacturing, processing and consumption of various materials. Gas industrial waste comes from internal-combustion engines, thermal power stations and manufacturing plants and mostly released from chimney of industries.

Professional Field Within Chemical Engineering Chemical engineering is such a vast and complex field that one can not be expert in whole of the field. Chemical engineer can work in major fields within chemical engineering. These fields are;  Research Process  Development Process  Design And Evaluation  Plant Design  Construction  Production Supervision  Plant Technical Service  Product Sale  Research  Research means to introduce something new or to get knowledge and improvement on something well established. There are four basic types of researchers  Market research  Fundamental research  Exploratory research  Process research Market research   Before investing in any project a market research is first conducted to calculate which product in demand these days and out of them which are more profitable to manufacturer. Fundamental research  In this research a new theory is developed and tested experimen...

 A Beginner's Guide to Fluid Mechanics Fluid mechanics can be a confusing subject if you’re not familiar with how fluids move and interact with each other. If you’re learning about fluid mechanics and are looking for some of the basics, this guide will help you understand everything from Bernoulli’s Principle to the Van Der Waals equation so that you can use this information in your work or everyday life. We’ll even go over some useful tricks that can help you figure out what might happen to fluids in certain situations without having to solve equations! What is fluid mechanics? Fluid mechanics is the study of fluids at rest and in motion. It covers a variety of topics, such as fluid dynamics, thermal physics, aerodynamics, hydrodynamics and hydrostatics. Fluids cover anything from liquids like water or oil, gases like air or nitrous oxide to less common substances like plasma or liquid crystal. Much of the work done in fluid mechanics is for both engineering purposes and scientifi...

Mastering Solid-State Diffusion: Challenges and Solutions in Materials Engineering

-
 At this very moment, billions of atoms are engaged in an intricate dance within the solid materials around us. This microscopic movement, known as the diffusion of solids, powers everything from the strengthening of your smartphone's screen to the formation of ancient minerals deep within the Earth's crust. Despite occurring in seemingly rigid structures, solid-state diffusion represents one of nature's most remarkable processes, enabling materials to transform their properties without melting. This phenomenon has become the cornerstone of modern materials engineering, though its complexities continue to challenge scientists and engineers alike. ## Introduction to Diffusion in Solids In the realm of materials science, solid-state diffusion represents a fascinating phenomenon where atoms, ions, or molecules move within a solid material despite being constrained by a rigid crystalline or amorphous structure. This movement, driven by concentration gradients and temperature, o...
