This document summarizes a meeting about sustainable leather production technologies and the role of Acque del Chiampo wastewater treatment plant in evaluating the environmental impacts. Acque del Chiampo conducted monitoring of 20 tanneries and a census of production processes. They will use life cycle assessment to evaluate impacts of new technologies on wastewater quality and treatment if adopted by all tanneries. The assessment will quantify impacts on greenhouse gas, acidification, ozone depletion, smog, and eutrophication from wastewater treatment.
Closing loop within Italian tanneries is the title of the speech given by Franco Cavazza at the IFIB conference - Italian Forum on Industrial Biotechnology and Bioeconomy 2016 - which was held at CUOA of Altavilla, in the province of Vicenza in the last weeks. The ILSA industrial director explained how the company has always made the circular economy and biochemistry its core business. This has been done either developing own processes as well as participating in research projects such as greenLIFE which aims, among other goals, to studying the best recovery system of proteins from tanning industry by-products for agricultural use. With the occasion, Cavazza also presented the recent Biopol, another project that has obtained the backing of the European Commission for the realisation of biopolymers, tannery and grease products for the leather manufacturing process, derived from the reuse of agricultural and food industry waste instead of from crude oil synthesis.
greenLIFE nella riunione Plenaria del dialogo sociale “Concia” alla Commissione europea
Lo scorso 23 novembre 2016 a Bruxelles, organizzata dalle parti sociali, il sindacato europeo industriAll e Cotance, Confederazione delle associazioni nazionali dei conciatori europei
Il progetto greenLIFE che vede coinvolte cinque aziende della filiera conciaria vicentina, Acque del Chiampo, Conceria Dani, Gruppo Mastrotto, Ikem, Ilsa, sarà presentato al meeting plenario del Comitato sul dialogo sociale, sezione concia ospitato dalla Commissione europea il prossimo 23 novembre a Bruxelles. La riunione segue l’adozione dello scorso dicembre 2015 di un manifesto redatto dalle parti sociali e dai rappresentanti industriali che sintetizza gli obiettivi per il futuro della concia europea, identificando le maggiori sfide. Tra queste la riduzione dell’impatto ambientale della filiera, la necessità di sviluppo in un’ottica di economia circolare e sancisce l’identità del settore come una industria del riciclo, la cui materia prima è di fatto un sottoprodotto dell’industria alimentare. Se dovessero continuare i trend di consumo e di crescita della popolazione - si legge nel manifesto - nel 2050 saranno necessarie le risorse di due pianeti e mezzo per soddisfarli. Lo sviluppo verso una economia circolare è quindi ineludibile e la sfida per il settore conciario riguarda principalmente la riduzione dell’uso di acqua e di prodotti chimici ad alto impatto, sottolineando la necessità di innovazione in questi ambiti. Ecco che il progetto greenLIFE si presenta ai rappresentanti europei come esempio di una fruttuosa collaborazione tra aziende e pubblico ( greenLIFE è stato finanziato per circa la metà del suo costo attraverso il programma LIFE dell’Unione Europea), che ha portato tra l’altro alla identificazione di sistemi di depilazione che potranno consentire un risparmio di acqua e di prodotti chimici fino al 20% , ma anche la valorizzazione di sottoprodotti in agricoltura e una diminuzione consistente di rifiuto solido. Relatori saranno Guido Zilli di Conceria Dani, coordinatore del progetto, e Paolo Gurisatti, presidente della Stazione sperimentale per l’industria delle pelli. Nuovi concianti naturali, provenienti da polisaccaridi derivanti da risorse rinnovabili, il monitoraggio dell’impatto ambientale dei diversi sistemi di calcinaio e concia, uno studio LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) per valutare l'impatto sulla depurazione delle acque in una prospettiva di ciclo di vita, sono altri risultati che sono stati illustrati alle parti sociali presenti a Bruxelles lo scorso 23 novembre.

Design and development of an anaerobic bio-digester for application in sewage...Dr. Eng. Mercy Manyuchi
Anaerobic digestion for biogas production is vital in sewage sludge management. This paper focuses on the design and development of an anaerobic bio-digester that can be utilized for biogas production utilizing Acti-zyme as the digestion bio-catalyst from sewage sludge. A stainless steel lab scale bio-digester with a capacity of 390 L/day and an operating efficiency of 75% was considered. The bio-digester allowed for addition of both the Acti-zyme and sewage sludge, the removal of the biogas and bio-solids generated during the digestion process. Process and equipment safety was ensured by maintaining the temperature at 35°C, pressure at 1 atmosphere as well as ensuring the flow of the substrate was maintained at 75% to minimize as operational hazards. Agitation was maintained at 60 rpm for uniform mixing whilst pH was maintained at 7 for enhancing Acti-zyme activity. The anaerobic bio-digester can either be up scaled or downscaled for application in sewage sludge management using Acti-zyme.

Over the years Cooling Tower treatment involves heavy use of chemicals. Unfortunately these chemicals are not only costly, but also adds minerals in the water. This reduces Cycles Of Concentration [COC] & as a result in high blow down & more make up water demand. Using ozone operating cost is drastically reduced & blow down water quantity also reduces.
The Design & Build of a Biodigester ToiletNatasha Rayan
Preventable diseases caused by unsafe sanitation practices, and respiratory issues created by burning solid fuels for cooking, heating and lighting kill millions of people in developing communities every year. Providing improved sanitation facilities, and replacing solid fuels (such as wood and dung) with clean burning modern fuels can improve the quality of life for billions of people around the globe, and save millions of lives each year.
A biodigester toilet is a single solution to both of these major issues; it provides an integrated waste management facility that will convert human excreta into clean-burning biogas, which can be used for cooking, heating, and lighting. Extensive research was conducted to obtain the background knowledge required to design a biodigester system that would be capable of successfully producing biogas while also providing an alternative to unsafe sanitation practices.
A dual tank digester design was chosen, to provide a clarification tank as a precursor to effluent post-treatment. A thorough risk assessment was performed before construction and testing of a prototype was conducted.
Sponsorship from Barrow and Bench Mitre 10 Malvern, Caroma and Lynair Logistics enabled the project team to source parts within the project budget and construct the prototype.
Testing was undertaken at Urrbrae Agricultural High School to determine whether the system was capable of effectively isolating waste and producing biogas. The prototype effectively separated feedstock from human contact and harnessed the anaerobic digestion process to produce biogas. As methane is the primary constituent of biogas, its concentration was measured throughout the testing period.
Results showed an increase in methane concentration, however, the testing period was concluded before flammable biogas was produced. All data indicated that the anaerobic digestion process was progressing as expected, and it is likely that flammable biogas would have been produced, given a longer testing period.

Biodiesel is an environmentally friendly fuel as compared to petroleum-derived diesel. This work aims to evaluate how much we are compromising with environment, society and investment returns by biodiesel production. Biodiesel is a long-chain alkyl ester, produced by the Chemical reaction of oil/fat with alcohol. The industrial production of biodiesel has various roots. The current study proposes to perform Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) on base-catalysed production method. The study has three steps 1) performing LCA on base catalysed production system. The LCA is performed using three pillars of sustainability: economic, social, and environmental prospects 2) analyze the results of LCA and assess the most sensitive components in the production 3) resource optimization: In this step, those critical components would be optimized to get the best utilization of resources. Concerning the economical LCA, this would be the best and attainable ways to lower the biodiesel production cost, concerning the social aspects, it would be the ways through which human health could be made less effective while producing biodiesel and concerning the environment, it would be the ways through which environmental impacts of biodiesel production could be minimized. The resource optimization study on those susceptible components would also yield how much possibly cost could be minimized, adverse social and environmental impacts could be reduced. These three steps would also be studied for petroleum-derived diesel and the results comparison would yield which fuel is really an environmentally friendly fuel, based on life cycle study rather than merely its combustion properties.

Identification and Selection of the Best Industrial Wastewater Treatment Tech...theijes
A bench scale model and treatability study was developed for chemical product “detergents, shampoos, toilet soaps and sanitary paper” industry to study the analysis of waste discharge. The main process lines used in the industry are fabric and home care production unit, soap production unit, and sanitary paper production unit. The main environmental problem of the industry is that the industrial wastewater resulting from the facility is not meeting the limits of the environmental regulations for the discharge of wastewater to the sewer network. Accordingly, the industry has to treat the wastewater prior to its discharge to the wastewater sanitary network. The main objectives of this study are management and control of liquid and solid wastes in the industry as well as selecting the different possible treatment trains for the waste water prior to its discharge to the sewer system in order to protect the environment and to gain benefits as much as possible from the wasted materials and identify opportunities for introducing pollution prevention measures and best method for waste minimization as cleaner production system. The study is taking into account all types of waste production including wastewater and solid waste during the production processes activities. Treatment Procedure is conducted through treatability study using two proposed streams of techniques; biological treatment technique (Anaerobic Treatment) and chemical treatment followed by biological treatment technique (Coagulation followed by Sedimentation). According to the different treatment alternatives conducted through the study, it is proved the biological method is not suitable for this type of waste, as the antifoaming chemicals and enzymes present in the wastewater leads to death of the microorganisms and accordingly the failure of the treatment system. As for the chemical treatment, it provided good results in both industrial wastewater mixed with domestic wastewater, and industrial wastewater alone. It also provided good results when using both ferric chloride and aluminum sulphate. It is concluded that the coagulation and Flocculation process followed by plain sedimentation is the most reliable alternative treatment method for this kind of industry using ferric chloride for the wastewater without domestic wastewater. The removal efficiency reached 72 to 79%, 86 to 96%, 83 to 88% and 86% for COD, TSS, Phosphorous, and Oil and Grease respectively.
Redesigning Producer Responsibility: A new EPR is needed for a circular economySustainable Brands
A major cornerstone of waste management policies in the last two decades has been the establishment of extended producer responsibility EPR schemes where producers are responsible for the collection and management of their products once they become waste.
Although having been an important step forward in environment policies, EPR schemes have tended to focus mainly on the end of the pipeline,i.e. once a product has become waste, and efforts of industry and administration have been put in the development of collection strategies and in the development of technologies for sorting and recycling of waste.
In recent years, the emergence of new paradigms such as the circular economy or zero waste has highlighted the need for revising the current approach to EPR. Waste needs to not be seen as a problem to be solved, but instead as a resource with energy and materials embedded in products that need to be kept in the economic process for as long as possible and at the higher level of quality.
The Effluent Quality Discharged and Its Impacts on the Receiving Environment ...Agriculture Journal IJOEAR
The study evaluates the performance of Kacyiru Sewage Treatment Plant and its effluent impacts on the receiving wetland. Influent and effluent wastewaters as well as receiving wetland water qualities were measured from April to September 2019, at Kacyiru estate. The average removal efficiency (%) of the parameters such as TN, TP, COD, BOD 5 were recorded as 46.57; 61.49; 50.51; 66.79 respectively. The parameters such as pH, TDS, temperature value, were recorded within the prescribed limit of Rwanda standards for domestic wastewater discharge. The other parameters such as NTU, TN, TP, TSS, BOD 5 and Fecal coliforms were not complying with National standards requirements for domestic wastewater discharge. The finding showed that the excess nutrient observed may present potential sources of pollution in wetland and decrease the oxygen levels which affect the water living organisms. The discharged effluents contain microbes which can negatively devastate the receiving environment, thus the effect of discharged wastewater on environment is significant.

Micro RNA genes and their likely influence in rice (Oryza sativa L.) dynamic ...Open Access Research Paper
Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs molecules having approximately 18-25 nucleotides, they are present in both plants and animals genomes. MiRNAs have diverse spatial expression patterns and regulate various developmental metabolisms, stress responses and other physiological processes. The dynamic gene expression playing major roles in phenotypic differences in organisms are believed to be controlled by miRNAs. Mutations in regions of regulatory factors, such as miRNA genes or transcription factors (TF) necessitated by dynamic environmental factors or pathogen infections, have tremendous effects on structure and expression of genes. The resultant novel gene products presents potential explanations for constant evolving desirable traits that have long been bred using conventional means, biotechnology or genetic engineering. Rice grain quality, yield, disease tolerance, climate-resilience and palatability properties are not exceptional to miRN Asmutations effects. There are new insights courtesy of high-throughput sequencing and improved proteomic techniques that organisms’ complexity and adaptations are highly contributed by miRNAs containing regulatory networks. This article aims to expound on how rice miRNAs could be driving evolution of traits and highlight the latest miRNA research progress. Moreover, the review accentuates miRNAs grey areas to be addressed and gives recommendations for further studies.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

Diabetes is a rapidly and serious health problem in Pakistan. This chronic condition is associated with serious long-term complications, including higher risk of heart disease and stroke. Aggressive treatment of hypertension and hyperlipideamia can result in a substantial reduction in cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes 1. Consequently pharmacist-led diabetes cardiovascular risk (DCVR) clinics have been established in both primary and secondary care sites in NHS Lothian during the past five years. An audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery at the clinics was conducted in order to evaluate practice and to standardize the pharmacists’ documentation of outcomes. Pharmaceutical care issues (PCI) and patient details were collected both prospectively and retrospectively from three DCVR clinics. The PCI`s were categorized according to a triangularised system consisting of multiple categories. These were ‘checks’, ‘changes’ (‘change in drug therapy process’ and ‘change in drug therapy’), ‘drug therapy problems’ and ‘quality assurance descriptors’ (‘timer perspective’ and ‘degree of change’). A verified medication assessment tool (MAT) for patients with chronic cardiovascular disease was applied to the patients from one of the clinics. The tool was used to quantify PCI`s and pharmacist actions that were centered on implementing or enforcing clinical guideline standards. A database was developed to be used as an assessment tool and to standardize the documentation of achievement of outcomes. Feedback on the audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery and the database was received from the DCVR clinic pharmacist at a focus group meeting.
Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.

3. Adc role in the project
Technical-analytical consulting and processing of analytical data in
order to assess:
• the potential impact on the functionality of the wastewater treatment
plant due to the new technologies proposals of all the partners;
• which may be the impacts of new study technologies if they was
adopted by other (or all) of the companies linked to the waste water
treatment plant.
4. Adc role in the project
The evaluations will be done on theoretical projections made by:
• collection of historical data;
• collection of more information on the production and processing cycles
at all tanneries linked to the wastewater treatment plant ;
• collection of data from experimentations with companies that have
carried out;
• extrapolations.
5. What we have done
• Identified 20 tanneries that have studied the same processes in the
Greenlife project;
• 27/06/2014 started the monitoring on tannery wastewater (at November
1152 sampling / analysis);
• Visit the tannery partners;
• Sampling and analysis at all the stages of processing;
• Cognitive census.
6. Cognitive Census
• Between November and December it has been prepared a cognitive
census about the liming process and tanning process in the district of
Arzignano for the year 2014.
• The census sent on 16/03/15 allowed to obtain sufficient information to
be able to extrapolate the various data collected and further estimate a
possible impact on the environment until the adoption by the tanneries
investigate new technologies under development
7. Census
Surveyed tanneries:
The 20 surveyed tanneries (identified from 130) in function of the
processes can be divided as follows:
• 4 exclusively process liming and tanning;
• 8 predominantly process liming e tanning;
• 8 the full cicle process.
10. Census
Liming process:
• The liming process has an exhaust volume of 24% in the tannery discharge
process and 11% total wastewater volume for the waster water treatment
plant;
• 4 tanneries are equipped with a recovery plant for the liming baths, in
which 3 (7.5% of the discharged volume) the liming process is recovery in
each bath;
• The average percentage of total sulphides total used, compared to the
average for those who do not use recovery, show a decrease of about
45%;
• Only four tanneries are equipped with a recovery plant recovery for the hair
and only two of these use it.
11. Census
Chromium tanning:
• The tanning process has an exhaust volume of 17% in the tannery
discharge process and 8% total wastewater volume for the waster water
treatment plant;
• The amount of leathers tanned with chromium is about 123,600 tons
(approximately 69% of the total);
• Have been used about 1294 tons of chromium, with a ratio of about 10 kg
of chromium per tonne of tanned leather;
• The tanneries equipped with a plant for the recovery of chromium are two,
but only one was active in 2014. Part of the chrome was recovered within
the tannery and part disposed of in landfills.
12. Census
Chrome free tanning:
• The chrome-free tanning process has an exhaust volume of 9,5% in the
tannery discharge process and 4,4% total wastewater volume for the
waster water treatment plant;
• There are 9 tanneries that do the chrome-free tanning and only one of
these do exclusively chrome-free tanning;
• The amount of chrome-free tanned for 2014 is about 40.800 tons (about
23% of the total);
• The mainly tanning agents used in the chrome-free tanning are
glutaraldehyde and oxazolidine;
13. LCA
LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) is a methodology for assessing the
environmental impact of a product or service in its entire life cycle.
As the life cycle are defined consecutive and interconnected steps
for the production of a good or the supply of a service, including
the extraction and processing of raw materials used, the
manufacturing, transportation, distribution, use, reuse, recycling
and final disposal.
14. LCA Acque del Chiampo
The life cycle starts with the collection of wastewater from industry and
civil, then includes the steps of treatment at the wastewater treatment plant
and ends with the production and stabilization of output as sludge and
treated wastewater.
The study will provide a picture of the distribution of impacts at various
stages of life cycle analysis, taking into account the efficiency of sewage
treatment plant for the major physical and chemical parameters.
The LCA is a tool that facilitates the assessment of future changes in the
environmental impacts related to possible changes of the input elements
and / or process steps, so for example the impact of a change in tanning
processes object of the Life project.
15. LCA: Assessment of impacts
Will be quantified the impacts regarding the service of waste water purification
for the following categories of environmental impact:
•Greenhouse effect;
•acidification;
•Reduction of the ozone layer;
•Photochemical smog;
•eutrophication;
16. LCA: Assessment of indicators
Further will be investigate the following environmental indicators:
•hazardous and non-hazardous;
•greenhouse from biological resources;
•aquatic ecotoxicity;
•production of by-product;
•land use
•toxic emissions to air (hydrogen sulfide, VOCs, organic aerosols).
