The Zarqa River is Jordan's major surface and ground water basin, where most of the industries are located. A summary of an industrial waste water survey is presented, with quantity and quality of the discharges and methods of disposal. Compliance with the effluent standard and the effect on the environment is discussed. It is concluded that there is contamination of surface water and a potential of contamination of ground water, the river bed and soils adjacent to the river. The existing regulation, standard and practices in industrial wastewater management are reviewed and new principles are suggested to be adopted for setting a sustainable policy in wastewater management.

While developing the technology of using ozone for the destruction of organic substances in industrial wastewater, it is important to determine the required dose of ozone and the period of water treatment. In some cases, for example, when the dyes are destroyed in textile sewage, the color reduction occurs earlier than the decomposition of the organic matter of the dyes. Thus, there is a need to control the purification process by several indirect indicators, such as oxidability, total organic carbon content and etc. There is also the difficulty in determining the required dose of ozone for the decomposition of contaminants. We carried out experimental researches and examined the material balance of the ozonation process. A generalized method for determining the consumption of ozone in the oxidation of contaminants in sewage waters is proposed. The indicator "chemical demand of ozone" is used. During the trial ozonation of waste water the method allows to obtain the dependence of ozone consumption on the processes of pollution destruction and to determine the required specific dose of ozone for the destruction of contaminants.

Wastewater treatment is becoming ever more critical due to diminishing water resources, increasing wastewater disposal costs, and stricter discharge regulations that have lowered permissible contaminant levels in waste streams. The ultimate goal of wastewater management is the protection of the environment in a manner commensurate with public health and socio-economic concerns. The aim of our study is to use natural occurring plant (Pistia stratiotes) to reduce the chemical oxygen demand and color from the industrial waste water. It was found that 120 mg/l of Chemical oxygen demand and 85 mg/l of color reduction was observed with Pistia stratiotes.

An investigation was made to ascertain heavy metals concentration in effluent samples collected from textile industries located at Bhaluka industrial area, Mymensingh, Bangladesh during August to November, 2013. Atomic absorption spectrometer (AAS) was used to evaluate the concentration of Zinc (Zn), Copper (Cu), Nickel (Ni), Cadmium (Cd), Chromium (Cr) and Lead (Pb) in the samples. The study revealed that heavy metals were present in variable amounts, where the concentrations of Cu (0.0405 ppm) and Pb (0.0003 ppm) were found lower than recommended level for industrial waste water. Among the present trace metals, the highest concentration (0.2-1.0 ppm) was found in Zn. Although the concentration is suitable for irrigation, it is unsafe for aquaculture. Besides, all of the wastewater samples possessed no Cr, Cd and Ni, which comprised less of the minimum acceptance level, indicating no possibility of contamination. However, comparing findings of this study with the safe limits for industrial wastewater, it can be concluded that the waste water of the study area except some sampling sites can be used for irrigation and aquaculture.

The ultimate goal of wastewater management is the protection of the environment in a manner commensurate with public health and socio-economic concerns. The aim of our study is to use natural occurring polymeric coagulant to reduce the chemical oxygen demand and color from the industrial waste water. It was found that 83% of Chemical oxygen demand and 90% of color reduction was observed with chitosan.

Waste problems are one of the trigger factors that can hinder the growth and development of the city of Makassar, which should be able to balance growth and development. The selection of the waste disposal location into the Tallo River due to its location adjacent to the Makassar Industrial area, the waste construction pipeline that has been treated from the installation from the industrial waste treatment is channeled to the Tallo River. The Tallo River pollution condition with an indicator of IP value is equal to 1.38 including under mild pollution status. The purpose of this study is to find out how the ideal management of industrial wastewater is currently in KIMA and to plan the concept of industrial waste management which includes 3 components, namely the distribution, processing and disposal of wastewater networks so as not to have a negative impact on the environment. The analytical method used is analysis of quantity and quality with descriptive methods, comparative analysis and spatial analysis to analyze the location and land needed for KIMA industrial wastewater management. The results of the analysis show that the performance of existing comparative assessments and ideal KIMA limbah water management is at a value of 49.36% C, where the distribution network does not cover all zones, processing only 3 stages and the absence of utilization of treated water. So that the direction of the planning concept needed by KIMA at the initial stage is to complete the distribution network to all service zones by increasing the pipe size to 300 mm and adding 3 stages, procuring the utilization of processed water and the last capacity to 5,000 m3/day with a total area of ​​10,500 m2.   Keywords: Zone, Industry, Infrastructure, Sewerage, Makassar

The continuously increasing quantities of municipal and industrial wastewater discharged into the sea environment degrade the quality of the water. In this paper, the recent technologies are evaluated, and the practices recommended for the wastewater treatment in coastal urban areas are analyzed, with respect to the requirements of the EU legislation. Also the principles for the disposal of the treated wastewater are discussed. Finally, a brief review of the current situation of wastewater management in Greece is given, regarding the treatment strategies previously presented.

AbstractAbatement of water pollution is being a major concern to be dealt with, as the scarcity of water for basic needs of human beings is increasing drastically. As a part of diminishing water pollution, treatment of industrial wastewater prior to disposal plays a paramount role. Due to the typical characteristics of pesticide, intermediate industrial waste water the treatment is also challenging issue. In this study three different sequential methodologies (Methodology-I: combined rotavapour distillation, fenton and anaerobic biological process, Methodology-II: combined rotavapour distillation, photo fenton and anaerobic biological process, Methodology-III combined coagulation, fenton, electro oxidation and anaerobic biological process) has been evaluated for the treatment of pesticide intermediate industrial wastewater. Among the three sequential methodologies opted in this study for the treatment of pesticide intermediate industrial wastewater, percentage removal of COD was 95% in methodology-1 (i.e. combined rotavapor distillation, fenton and anaerobic biological treatment).

This article was based on Beijing urban sewage and industrial wastewater treatment, namely, aerobic treatment and anaerobic treatment. According to actual collection and processing methods of sewage and industrial wastewater in rural areas , combined combining with the 2006 IPCC internationally cognition and greenhouse gas calculation that related scholars studied, ecological footprint calculation of Beijing urban sewage and industrial waste water was summarized and developed ,thus laid foundation for the study of Beijing urban ecological carrying capacity .
