Kinetics Books taver for engineers daily .pptTausifAhmad53
Chemical kinetics is the study of reaction rates and mechanisms. Key points covered in the document include:
1) Reaction rates can be determined by measuring changes in concentration over time. Integrated rate laws relate concentration to time for first and second order reactions.
2) Rate laws show how reaction rates depend on reactant concentrations. Reaction orders are determined by analyzing rate data.
3) Reaction mechanisms involve elementary steps that describe how reactants are converted to products. The slowest step determines the overall rate.
4) Temperature affects reaction rates because higher temperatures provide more molecules with sufficient energy to overcome activation barriers according to the Arrhenius equation.
The document discusses how the Water Framework Directive is shifting focus to diffuse pollution and its impacts on aquatic ecosystems at a landscape scale. It argues contaminated land issues should be viewed at this larger scale rather than just at the local site level. The major sources of diffuse pollution are identified as agricultural runoff, acid mine drainage, and large-scale urban pollution. Remediation strategies need to use integrated catchment management and in-situ passive techniques to address diffuse impacts in a sustainable, risk-based manner. There is potential to apply knowledge and technologies from landfill remediation to addressing contaminated land issues at a catchment scale.

07_greenhouse_gases for environmental.pptTausifAhmad53
Global greenhouse gas emissions are increasing and are likely the dominant cause of warming temperatures over the past 50 years according to the IPCC. Even if emissions are aggressively reduced, carbon dioxide levels will double pre-industrial levels. Sea levels are rising due to thermal expansion, melting ice sheets and glaciers, and will continue to rise and flood coastal areas. Climate change is also likely to increase the frequency of heat waves, heavy precipitation events, and drought in some regions. Adaptation and mitigation strategies are needed to manage the risks of climate change.

Is Incineration Sustainable?
• In the hierarchy of
integrated solid waste
management, incineration
is not considered as a very
sustainable method.
• With a highly developed
system, energy recovery is
possible.
• The last desirable is
landfilling (leaching,
smouldering).
• Open burning of waste
must be avoided.

5. Operation and Maintenance (Large-scale)
• Maintenance and servicing by trained technicians.
• When incineration is done in a manner that has low adverse health
and environmental impacts it is expensive.
• When it is done poorly (with low financial costs) it can be expensive
in terms of human health and environmental impacts.

• Substantial reduction of the
weight (up to 75%) and volume
(up to 90%) of solid waste
• Waste-to-energy (production of
electricity and heat)
• Disinfection
• Some hazardous chemicals are
destroyed
• Some precious elements (e.g.
metals, phosphorus may be
recovered from the ashes)
Disdvantages:
• High investment, operation and
maintenance costs
• Risk of emissions which
endanger human health and
environment (gases, leaching
into groundwater)
• Loss of organic substances such
as kitchen waste or green
waste from gardening
(compared to composting)

10. Operation and Maintenance (Small-scale)
• Operator must be trained for the incinerator in use. This avoids
accidents, injuries and damages.
• Protection equipment during O&M is required: heat resistant gloves
and boots, a respirator mask, safety goggles, clothes that cover the
body and a helmet.
• It is important that the incinerator reaches the optimal temperature
for an optimal performance.
• Regular inspection and to enlarge
the life cycle and avoid damages
are necessary.
