Waste Tire Recycling

To achieve sustainable development, logistics enterprises need not only to reduce costs, but also to save energy for environmental protection and improve customer service level. The improvement of reverse logistics management level of waste tires is of great significance to improve the efficiency of the automobile industry. In this paper, multi-objective programming is adopted to establish the waste tire recycling network model. The decision variable is whether the network nodes are set or not, the traffic flow between nodes. Constraints include meeting customer demand, balance of flow in and out of logistics nodes, etc. The model is solved by ε- constraint. Taking the actual data of the enterprise as an example, the operation results show that the operation cost, carbon emission and customer transportation distance can get an consistence within a certain range. Waste tire logistics enterprises can realize the simultaneous improvement of profit, environmental protection and customer service level.

Oxidation Of Organics

Wastewater contaminated by PCBs obtained from three different sources was treated at both laboratory and pilot plant scale conditions by ultraviolet oxidation of organics at the presence of hydrogen peroxide after partial adsorption of impurities and PCBs on activated carbon and/or activated bentonite. The procedure was conducted both with and without a Fe(II) catalyst and considerable reduction of PCB concentration was achieved in both cases. In pilot plant scale experiments, activated carbon polishing step followed UV oxidation. The following three types of contaminated waste water were examined: a) aqueous extracts originated in the course of clean-up of contaminated soil by extraction with aqueous solvents. Concentrations of PCBs in extracts were between 1 μg/L to 3,000 μg/L; b) wastewater condensates originated in the process of thermal desorption of PCB from soils. Concentrations of PCBs in condensates were between 300 μg/L and 5,000 μg/L. c) underground water contaminated by PCBs extracted from the sites of old contamination. The content of PCBs was up to 50,000 ng/L. Biodegradation of PCBs with a mixture of indigenous soil bacteria (selected strains of Pseudomonas and Acitenotobacter) was also tested. It was carried out in a reactor with volume of 1.5 m3 by application of the bacteria in a slurry of bentonite with adsorbed PCBs.

Sand Filter

In an attempt to improve the quality of the agricultural drain in Egypt for its reuse again in the irrigation, low cost solution such as sand filter along with/ without other filtration media have been used in this research, As a result of that, pilot plant of sand filter mixed with other filtration media was tested for its ability to improve the sand performance in removing the suspended solids and organic matters from agricultural drain water of the Belbeis drain (in Sharkia governorate in Egypt). Only sand compared with sand with sponge and sand with Liyan Nanfang activated carbon (L.N.A.C) have been tested to find the optimum mixing sand/ medium ratio &optimum infiltration rate. The work has been done on four runs. It was found that sand mixed with sponge gave the best removal efficiency compared to that of the sand only and the sand mixed with L.N.A.C. The results presented that the concentration of CODt, CODsol and TSS was reduced from 125, 47 and 162 mg/l to 44, 34 and 28 mg/l respectively at optimum infiltration rate of 2 m3/m2/d for sand mixed with sponge.
