This two-volume book summarises various aspects of pollution prevention and waste minimisation aspects in various industries. It discusses emissions from particulate matter and its control, industrial wastewater and its treatment, common effluent treatment plant, industrial biotechnology and climate change, pollution control in mechanical, electrical, metallurgical and mining industry, pollution control in cement, ceramic and glass industry, pollution control in chemical process and allied industries, pollution control in sugar, pulp and paper, rubber and plastic industries.
