Further strategies being implemented to minimize dye and related chemical effluent include designing more environmentally friendly chemicals, more efficient (higher yielding) manufacturing processes, and more effective dyes, for example, reactive dyes with higher fixation rate. 

Determination of the effect of a material or substance on a group of selected organisms (e.g., Vibrio fischeri), under defined conditions. An aquatic toxicity test usually measures either (a) the proportions of organisms affected (quantal) or (b) the degree of effect shown (quantitative or graded), after exposure to specific concentrations of test material or complex mixture (e.g., chemical, effluent, elutriate, leachate, or receiving water).

Zither chapters in this book deal with the effects of man-made chemicals on individual plants, populations, and communities—man-made chemicals in the sense that they are byproducts of technology. To understand how such chemicals may have a subtle or dramatic effect on a community, this paper reviews the effect of naturally occurring chemical effluents—those produced by the community itself. 

Separation of soy protein by EDBM has specific advantages over the conventional isoelectric precipitation used industrially for the production of soybean protein isolates. This technology does not use any added acids or bases during the process to adjust the pH of the protein solution, and the chemical effluents generated during the process could be reused at different stages in the... 

However, the procedures used in the dairy industry, rennet and acid casein, have the disadvantages to produce large volume of chemical effluents due to the addition of bases and acids during treatments, and to generate inherent risk linked to handling, stocking, and transportation of concentrated bases and acids. In acid casein production, milk pH is decreased to the isoelectric point of the casein by addition of strong acid (hydrochloric, sulfuric, nitric, lactic, etc.). H" " concentration of milk is increased...

Another treatment, currently used for industrial wastewater, is the adsorption on active carbon for organic pollutants removal. UV spectrophotometry can be proposed for the study of the effect of granular active carbon (GAC) on the adsorption of organic compound of a chemical effluent (Fig. 8). This example shows that the molecule, characterised by an absorption peak at 238 nm (not identified), is well adsorbed meanwhile, the one absorbing at 260-270 nm is not retained. The corresponding removal rates of TOC are, respectively, 27, 36 and 51% for the three GAC concentrations (5, 10 and 20 g.L-1). UV spectrophotometry can thus be used for process control and for the quality monitoring of the treated effluent. 

Environmental considerations. By-products often appear as pollutants discharged from the manufacturing pleuit ets constituents of gaseous, liquid or solid effluents. The pollution of the environment by chemical effluents is of increasing concern and further legal constraints and limits are likely to be imposed. Phenolic impurities, commonly found ets by-products of aromatic nitration, are particularly harmful in the damage they cause in water courses because of their high toxicity. 

The data from 1987 on the use of activated carbons for liquid-phase applications in the US shows that 15,900 tons of activated carbon was used for wastewater treatment, 7,300 in the granular form and 8,600 in the powdered form [66]. Of 15,900 tons, 13,000 tons was used industrially and 2,900 tons municipally. Industrial applications of activated carbon are related to, in decreasing order, decolorization, treatment of chemical effluents, pharmaceuticals or mining groundwater. The organic contaminants removed include BOD, TOC, phenol, color, cresol, polyethers, toluene, xylene, nitro- and chlorophenols, insecticides, refinery wastes and acetic acid. Generally, the flow being treated is less than 80 m d and thermal reactivation of the carbon is used [67]. 

With continuing innovation, several hundred new chemicals are introduced each year, while thousands of new stacks and pipes release chemical effluents into the air, soil, and water. These new products, like their predecessors, are the building blocks of a technology-based economy. To satisfy global demand, the U.S. chemical industry employs nearly 2 million (or 11%) of all U.S. manufacturing workers and generates a 15 billion positive trade balance annually (i). Clearly, the economic vitality of the chemical industry must be maintained, and at the same time the behavior of chemicals in... 

Table 3.2 clearly shows that however attractive it may seem to be to treat chemical effluent in a mixture with large volumes of other domestic and industrial wastes, its safe transmission to a sewage plant cannot be assumed to be straightforward. This is particularly so if a solvent that is both toxic and immiscible with water (e.g. toluene and benzene) reaches the sewer and can contaminate huge quantities of aqueous sewage to a dangerous concentration.
