Any economic activity executed according to modern requirements of nature management should not lead to irreversible violations of the natural environment; it is very seldom achieved in practice. Mining, transportation, storage and usage of oil products are the most agressive sectors by the amount of technogenic factors that negatively influence the natural environment. At the modern stage of development of technologies, applied in the oil industry, and because of various accidents, more than 3 million tons of oil waste is generated only in Russia annually, the predominant amount of the waste is accumulated in sludge pits [1]. About 100 million tons of the oil waste has been accumulated in total. The waste of the oil industry is a source of environmental pollution and represents danger, because an effective technology of waste disposal is missing [2]. Analysis of technological solutions for the oil products waste processing with the production of materials applied in construction and other sectors during processing will not only reduce ecological damage from accumulation and storage of waste, but also provide quality products.
The search for new effective methods of processing of secondary raw materials in the food industry is a very urgent problem. The biological waste of the food and processing industry is considered to include veterinary confiscates, nonfood waste and little value food products, waste products of food, technical and special products, the corpses of livestock and poultry. This waste has been and remains a valuable secondary raw material. The reasons are our Russian mentality, which allows us to neglect the environment, certain economic reasons and the inefficiency of the supervisory bodies. In Soviet times, large processing plants had workshops for production of feed, fish, feather, horn and hoof and other flour. Waste of smaller enterprises was brought to special plants, where they were either burned or used for production of the same flour. Most of these plants had not been working for a long time, and the rest ones did not cope with the supplied volume of waste. The other side of the problem is that both these plants and the vast majority of enterprises that have their own production of feed and other animal flour use obsolete old technologies and old equipment. The result is a product with low consumer qualities. The variety of nonfood waste of the food industry and the diversity of their application imply the use of different technologies of utilization. And the more advanced these technologies, the higher the profitability of processing and the quality of the products.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
