Noise pollution, in the recent times, has been well recognized as one of major trepidations that impact quality life urban areas across globe. Kolhapur, an ancient city India, is rapidly emerging industrialized and urbanized started facing severe noise pollution problems. Day-time assessment was studied Kolhapur for five critical zones viz. Educational, Commercial-cum-residential, Industrial-cum-residential, Recreational Silence zone. indices L10, L50, L90, climate (NC), equivalent...

Extensive research has been conducted during 20th century to discover renewable natural polymers that are sustainable. Cellulose represents one such biomaterial which is abundant, renewable, and biodegradable. Both plant microbial biomass can be processed make cellulose. Bacterial cellulose (BC) a prospective polymer produced by certain bacteria their growth phase. BC hydrophilic biopolymer, fibrous (20–100 nm diameter), biocompatible. In contrast cellulose, the benefit of being in form,...

Information systems coupled with internet, cloud computing, mobile devices and Internet of Things have led to massive volumes data, commonly referred as big data.It includes mix structured, semi-structured unstructured real-time constituting data warehouse, OLAP, ETL information.Business firms academicians designed unique ways tapping value from data.There is a great scope using large datasets an additional input for making decisions.The aim the paper explore role in these areas better...

The authors in this paper makes an attempt to propose a novel integrated model for the recovery of precious metals (gold - Au and silver Ag) management e-waste using combination hydrometallurgical (chemical) biometallurgical (low cost biomass) processes. Chemical process involves leaching gold/silver from electronic scrap cyanide. leachate containing complex thus obtained is then subjected biosorption low-cost biomass. proposed by us will help strengthen 'processing' part functional elements...

Water reclamation from lakes needs to be accomplished efficiently and affordably ensure the availability of clean, disinfected water for society. Previous treatment techniques, such as coagulation, adsorption, photolysis, ultraviolet light, ozonation, are not economically feasible on a large scale. This study investigated effectiveness standalone HC hybrid + H2O2 techniques treating lake water. The effect pH (3 9), inlet pressure (4 6 bar), loading (1 5 g/L) were examined. At = 3, bar...

Techno-economic feasibility of the best available Waste to Energy (WTE) technologies across world were studied for 75 Indian cities. Secondary data on Municipal Solid (MSW) characteristics all cities compiled from three well-known authentic databases, viz. NEERI (National Environmental Engineering Research Institute, Nagpur), NSWAI Association India) and CPCB (Central Pollution Control Board, New Delhi). We observed a definite relationship between calorific value waste generated...

Big data has emerged as an important area of interest pertaining to the study and research practitioners academicians. The exponential growth is fuelled by various internet digital devices. Advancement in technology made it economically feasible store analyse huge amounts data. a juxtaposition structured, semi-structured unstructured real time originating from variety sources. Predictive analytics provides methodology tapping intelligence large sets. Many visionary companies such Google,...

Y.B. PATIL and K.M. PAKNIKAR.2000.A bacterial consortium capable of utilizing metal–cyanides as a source nitrogen was used to develop microbiological process for the detoxification silver–cyanide from electroplating wastewater. When treatment carried out in 27‐l rotating biological contactor (RBC) continuous mode, system could achieve > 99·5% removal 0·1 mmol l−1 (≈ 5 mg cyanide 10 silver) h with sugarcane molasses (0·1 ml l−1) carbon source. The silver ions set free during biodegradation...

The authors attempted to study and comprehend the e-waste awareness disposal practices among residents of Pune city. It was revealed through survey data analysis that in general, consumer city is very good, but at superficial level; however, when it comes are not aware collection centres, E-waste rules, correct practices. Residents therefore mix-up generated along with municipal solid waste thereby leading unsustainable way Ministry Environment Forests (MoEF) has played a key role by...

Hexavalent chromium because of its unique properties finds large number industrial applications. Consequently, these industries discharge quantities containing effluents. Since is a known mutagen and carcinogen, the prevalent pollution laws in most countries require complete removal from waste streams before discharge. There are several methods employed for removal. However, unsustainable nature economically unattractive. It therefore necessary to look new practical, economic, efficient...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to formulate frameworks for the drivers and barriers integrated sustainable solid waste management (ISSWM) with reference conditions prevailing in India. Design/methodology/approach A multi-phased approach was adopted come up conceptual framework ISSWM. In first phase, ISSWM were identified based on a systematic literature review process. second 25 experts having 15 plus years experience field development environmental consulted get their opinion....

Industries like electroplating, printed circuit board manufacturing and jewellery units situated in urban areas originate large-volume low-tenor effluents containing gold-cyanide. Since cyanide is toxic gold being precious metal, non-renewable finite resource; their complete removal from the key. The author present paper, explores possibility of treating gold-cyanide using an integrated biosorption-biodetoxification technologies. Rice husk, a low-cost biomass was selected exhaustive...

Abstract Purpose The purpose of this paper is to dig out enablers sustainable industrial ecosystem develop a framework. Design/methodology/approach To test the framework statistically, structured questionnaire was designed. Measures for were adopted from an extensive literature review. Further, pretested and further pilot study conducted. Adding this, reliability validity constructs examined using confirmatory factor analysis followed by covariance-based structural equation modeling research...
