The study also developed mathematical models predict the degradation. A model was developed based on material balance analysis of a digester operation, substrate utilization, production formation and cell growth. The developed model was achieved using Runge Kutta numerical techniques available in the Polymath software. The operations were simulated using a start value of 300 g/dm3 . This value was the concentration of the substrate and the value 1.5 g/dm3 was used as the cell concentration and this was done within 13 days. However, the results obtained from the simulations demonstrated a negative behaviour from 300 g/dm3 to 6.88 g/dm3 y, then the cell growth demonstrated an exponential trend from 1.5 to 39 g/dm3 ). The rate of growth of cell was increased from 0.5 to 2.53 g/dm3 , and death increased from 0.015 to 0.161 g/dm3 . Within these 13 days of simulation, the biogas production, which is the same as the product, follows the same trend from 0 to 219 g/dm3 . Generally, the model was able to predict the results obtained2023-03-21T05:58:26+00:00Copyright (c) 2023 International Journal of Prevention and Control of Industrial Pollutionhttps://chemical.journalspub.info/index.php?journal=JPCIP&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=1347Toxic Waste in Our Waters: Investigating the Consequences of Industrial Chemical Discharges2023-05-15T07:11:39+00:00Purva Saxenapurvasaxena122@gmail.com<p>Industrial chemical discharges pose a significant threat to the health of our waters and the living organisms that depend on them. This article examines the consequences of toxic waste in our waters resulting from industrial chemical discharges. We discuss the environmental, economic, and social impacts of chemical pollution, including the risks to human health and aquatic ecosystems. We explore the sources and pathways of industrial chemical discharges and highlight the challenges associated with monitoring and regulating these discharges. We also review case studies of environmental disasters caused by industrial chemical discharges and assess the effectiveness of remediation efforts. Finally, we consider future trends in industrial chemical discharges and suggest strategies for mitigating their harmful effects. Overall, this article highlights the urgent need for action to reduce industrial chemical discharges and protect our waters and the life they support.</p>2023-03-06T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2023 International Journal of Prevention and Control of Industrial Pollutionhttps://chemical.journalspub.info/index.php?journal=JPCIP&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=1365Aquaculture Biofilters: A Natural Water Quality Control Method2023-05-15T07:11:39+00:00Purva Saxenapurvasaxena122@gmail.comAquaculture biofilters are a natural and sustainable solution for maintaining water quality in fish farming operations. These systems use beneficial bacteria to convert harmful nitrogenous waste compounds, such as ammonia and nitrite, into less toxic forms, such as nitrate. This process occurs within a filter bed filled with various media, such as gravel or plastic beads, which provide a surface area for the growth of the bacteria. The biofilter also serves as a habitat for other microorganisms, such as protozoa and fungi, which further enhance the breakdown of waste compounds. The use of biofilters in aquaculture has several benefits, including reducing the need for water changes, improving fish health and growth, and reducing environmental pollution. However, designing and managing a biofilter system requires careful consideration of several factors, such as the stocking density of fish, the type of feed used, and the type of biofilter media. In this article, we review the principles of aquaculture biofilters and discuss their potential for sustainable and efficient water quality management in fish farming operations.2023-03-06T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2023 International Journal of Prevention and Control of Industrial Pollutionhttps://chemical.journalspub.info/index.php?journal=JPCIP&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=1345Examining the Performance of Improved Clay Soil Applied for Adsorption of Heavy Metals in a Polluted Underground Water2023-05-15T07:11:39+00:00Okogbule- Wonodi Aguru4real1@yahoo.comTom Cyprian Nguru4real1@yahoo.comYorpah Pguru4real1@yahoo.com<p>In this research work, we carried out an examination to ascertain the performance of an improved clay soil applied to act as an adsorbent to aid the removal of heavy metals from underground water. In order to get this done, we decided to use well water from Elieta Community, a rural community in Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area of Rivers State Nigeria. This was inspired by the misuse of well water and other underground water sources thereby constituting an unfortunate pollution and poisoning of the underground water of the area which is their major source of water either for drinking, cooking, bathing, etc. without any form of purification or treatment. We also looked into the adsorption isotherms, kinetics and thermodynamics models as were used to evaluate the experimental results. Thus, from 0.5 to 2 g dosage, amount of metals removed increased from 69.81% to 83.43% for Cr6+, 54.51% to 78.24% for Cu2+ and from 82.15% to 91.16% for Zn2+. From pH 5.5 to 8.5, the amount removed increased from 71.68% to 84.18% for Cr6+, 64.79% to 80.48% for Cu2+ and from 78.56 to 92.09% for Zn2+ . The adsorption of Cr6+ and Cu2+ reached equilibrium at 60 minutes, while that of Zn2+ was at 90 minutes. All the adsorption isotherms showed good fit, but the Langmuir isotherm correlated better with the experiment. The maximum adsorption dimensions obtained from the Langmuir isotherm were 26.738, 28.902 and 22.831 mg/g for Cr6+, Cu2+ and Zn2+ , respectively. Considering the range of metals that were removed, the research shows that the clay soil is a good adsorbent for the removal of heavy metals in waters of Elieta Community.</p>2023-03-04T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2023 International Journal of Prevention and Control of Industrial Pollutionhttps://chemical.journalspub.info/index.php?journal=JPCIP&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=1346Analyzing the Literature on the Use of Waste Products in Concrete in Substantial Depth2023-05-15T07:11:39+00:00Haydar U. Zamanhaydarzaman07@gmail.comRuhul A. Khanhaydarzaman07@gmail.comIn this study, the literature on the use of manufactured fine aggregate in Portland cement concrete in place of natural sand is reviewed. It also discusses current and future trends in this field of research. There is a pressing demand for a product that mimics the qualities of natural sand in concrete given that natural sand supplies throughout the world are depleting. Over the past 20 years, it has been clear that there is less good natural sand accessible. It appears to be a global trend, with a few local exceptions. Natural sand reserves that already exist are being depleted at the same rate as urbanization, and new resources are either underground, too close to populated areas, or too far from where it is needed, that, the towns and cities where concrete producers are situated. Unrestrained mining of natural sand is also causing environmental concerns. The main points of contention are the need to prevent erosion of riverbeds and the value of having natural sand as a groundwater filter. Most local government agencies around the world consider the aforementioned considerations, as well as those of biodiversity preservation, aesthetic value, and recreational value, when deciding whether to grant license to aggregate producers. The current state of the construction sector is as described, and most people agree that little will change significantly in the near future. Natural sand and gravel are being replaced in the majority of countries by crushed aggregate, bottom ash, foundry sand, and comparable by-products. The use of natural sand in place of other materials is highlighted in this article because it will provide concrete mix designs new dimensions and, if widely used, will change the building industry by lowering construction costs and allowing us to preserve natural resources.2023-02-28T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2023 International Journal of Prevention and Control of Industrial Pollutionhttps://chemical.journalspub.info/index.php?journal=JPCIP&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=1271Environmental Regulations Effects on Competitiveness2023-01-27T08:15:34+00:00Shubham Ratheeshubham@law.christuniversity.in<p> </p><p>This article examines how environmental constraints affect corporate competitiveness as measured by export, product geography, workforce, productivity, and innovation. The research shows that environmental rules can have statically meaningful short-term negative impacts on sales, labor, plant location, and productivity, particularly in a well-defined group of pollution- and emission industries, but that these effects are negligible in comparison to overall output trends. While there is indications that environmental rules spur the development of clean technologies, the advantages do not seem to exceed the costs of regulation for the regulated parties. Future studies will be required to evaluate the reliability and efficiency of such measurements, and also to confirm their compatibility with the as methods to address the effects of competition are increasingly included into the creation of regulatory requirements, environmentally objectives of the regulations are becoming more and more important. The research demonstrates that environmental laws can have statistically serious negative effects effect trade, employment, plant locations, and effectiveness in the short run, particularly in a well- identified group of industries that use a lot of energy and pollutants, but that these impacts are negligible in comparison to overall output patterns. However, the advantages that arise from this innovation in clean technology do not seem to be substantial enough to justify the costs of regulation for the regulated firms. Environmental restrictions have been shown to stimulate innovation in this area. Future study will be necessary to evaluate the validity and efficacy of such measures and to guarantee that they are acceptable with the environmental protection of the policies as measures to fix competitively impacts are increasingly included into the drafting of environmental laws.</p>2022-08-25T05:12:01+00:00Copyright (c) 2022 International Journal of Prevention and Control of Industrial Pollution
