Chemical Technology and Engineering Chemistry go Hand in hand in the development of the industry. Thus for an engineer the Knowledge of Chemical Technology is quite Essential and imperative, particularly in the modern era of industrialisation in the world. The present book will impart the knowledge of Chemical Technology without which the knowledge of an engineer will not only be incomplete but insufficient too for tackling the varigated engineering problems ...
Environmental pollution has made the sky a virtually overloaded sewer, fertile land a waste land and river a poisonous sink. Thus, environmental pollution is a major hazard facing the world today and there is an increasing awareness of the fact that a clean environment is necessary for smooth living and for the better health of human beings. The environmental education and pollution control has drawn major concern in the recent years at national and international ...
Biotechnology is a multi-disciplinary course, having its foundations in many fields including biology, microbiology, biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics, chemistry and chemical engineering. It has been considered as a series of enabling technologies involving the practical applications of organisms or their cellular components to manufacturing and service industries and environmental management. Initially, biotechnology was an art, involved in the ...
Almost every advance in science and technology brings new and unexpected problems in its wake. Thus the motorcar, Aeroplane, high-speed machine tools, compressors and the gas turbine--all beneficial in themselves--have contributed, along with countless other developments, to the background of noise which is fast becoming one of the distinguishing features of life today. With rapid increase in urbanisation and industrialisation, noise has been on the increase and ...
Waste has always been associated with human activity and is a necessary evil in any developmental process. Today, the sheer quantity and diversity of wastes generated by industries and municipalities pose serious risks to both human health and the environment. The situation is particularly bad in developing countries such as India mainly due to their inefficient technologies, ineffectual policies and insensitivity on the part of the industrial sector. It is ...
Environmental pollution control microbiology is an exciting and challenging area of science and engineering. It is concerned with protecting people from pathogenic micro-organisms and the application of microbiology to solve a wide range of environmental pollution problems. Both science and engineering are involved in pollution control. Scientists determine the environmental problems and evaluate different solutions, whereas engineers utilize the information ...
The arbitrary exploitation of natural resources and ignorance of the deleterious effects have resulted in the alarming increase of environmental pollution alongside the urbanization, industrialization and changing agricultural practices. Contrary to popular belief, the environmental pollution particularly in the developing countries like India, is not as much caused by industrial emissions or nuclear wastes as is caused by day-to-day living of human beings ...
For the past two centuries the basic composition of the Earth's atmosphere has been materially altered by the fossil fuel effluvia of machine culture at an accelerated rate. Human induced warming of the Earth's climate is emerging as one of the major scientific, social and economic issues of the twenty-first century. In his zeal to achieve scientific and technological advancement, man is unwittingly endangering the surroundings and tilting the ecological balance. ...
Environmental biotechnology offers unique, efficient, eco-friendly and economically viable options for treatment of wastes in situ and conversion of hazardous toxic waste into relatively less harmful or harmless products. It involves applications of biotechnology to the management of environmental and related socio-economic and development issues. The text has been supplemented with diagrams, figures and tables. All the topics have been covered in a cogent and ...
Ecology is the study of organisms in relation to their surroundings called the environment of the organism. This environment is made up of different components, including other living organisms and their interrelationships, and purely physical features such as the type of climate and soil. Rapid industrial development and urbanisation taking place in all parts of the globe are adversely impacting the environment. Human activities are drastically changing the ...
