“…In line with this, it is proposed to enhance onsite reuse and recycling and to employ cleaner production principles in order to reduce water consumption and environmental impact. Several studies proved the feasibility of applying cleaner production principles in reducing water use in industrial activities (Carawan, 1996 a, b;Carawan and Merka, 1996;Wenzel and Knudsen, 2005;Nazer et al, 2006;Fresner et al, 2007). Figure 7 presents a schematic of how an industrial activity can be designed such that consumptive water use is minimized; water is provided for each process, the amount of water consumptively used (evaporated or incorporated into the product) as well as the amount and quality of return flows (used-water) from each process is to be evaluated and according to this evaluation it will be decided whether this used-water can be reused directly in another process or the type of treatment it will need in order to be reused.…”

The young gentleman had left some of the food in his plate after the meal. You said then "look son, if you knew how much money and effort had been spent to produce these leftovers, you will never leave anything in your plate anymore. For example, producing rice costs a lot of effort and resources on the country of production, it has been transported to our country and finally cooked to be ready in your plate. By disposing this amount you are neglecting all these efforts and resources. Moreover, you are spending part of your money for nothing". That was a lesson on life cycle and global thinking.Mother, although more than 25 years passed the message is still valid. Once you bought a piece of cloth, it was small. You decided to make me a suit (jacket and skirt) from this cloth. I told you it is not enough to make two pieces out of it, let us do the jacket only. You insisted and put the cloth on the table and said: "let's find out the best way of organizing the patrons of the jacket and skirt on the cloth?" The job was rather difficult. However, after a while of thinking, you did it and got the two pieces out of the small cloth. That was my first lesson on managing scarce resources.Hussein, you spent four years of you short life in the Israeli prisons because you believed in resisting the occupation for the sake of liberating man and land. You passed away without seeing that day coming. I will say today that man, land and water need to be liberated. Dima Nazer March 2009 vii AcknowledgmentsSpecial appreciation is extended to all those who contributed their time and energy in any way in order to help in getting this mission finished. It would have not been possible for me to undertake this study without the financial support from the Saudi Arabian Government, Ministry of Higher Education in the West Bank, Palestine and the NUFFIC fellowship program in the Netherlands. Their generous support is highly appreciated.Special thanks are extended to my promoters Prof. Pieter van der Zaag from UNESCO-IHE for his assistance, helpful comments, fruitful discussions and encour...

“…The galvanizing operation produces atmospheric emissions, contaminated wastewaters and solid waste emissions which could have an environmental impact and may suggest need for CP options. With the development of HDG technology, there are many Best Available Techniques (BAT) of operations, energy and environmental processes in the world (Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs, 2004;Briar Associates, 2004;Fresner et al, 2007;Regel-Rosocka, 2010;Bennasr et al, 2008), which can be transferred and used in CP for HDG in China.…”

“…The project is aimed at upgrading the Chinese HDG industry through interventions and investment at selected plants and improving the implementation of CP among plants in China. This paper introduces the Best Available Technologies of operation (Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs, 2004), energy (Briar Associates, 2004) and environmental management (Fresner et al, 2007) for hot dip galvanizing, and the implementation progress of the CFC project amongst the selected enterprises.…”

“…The surface treatment (ST) industry is particularly affected by many of the chemicals mentioned [5][6][7][8][9]. Indeed, among industrial activities as a whole, ST is currently considered to be one of the sectors that consumes the most water and chemicals, and therefore one of the largest producers of wastewater, although a huge effort has been made in water treatment for over 20 years by ST plants [8,9].…”

Industrial discharge water, and especially that from the surface treatment industry (ST), contains non-negligible amounts of pollutants even though the legislation is fully respected. In spite of this, no detailed studies list the exact chemical composition of these effluents. The present study reports the results of analyses performed over a 6-month period involving 15 standard water parameters. Over 160 substances including 33 metals, 58 volatile organic compounds (VOCs), 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), 24 chlorophenols (CPs), 16 alkylphenols (APs), 5 chloroanilines (CAs) and 7 polychlorobiphenyls (PCBs) were monitored. The industrial effluents presented polycontamination involving metals, minerals and organics with a high degree of qualitative and quantitative variability. Of the 160 substances monitored, 46 were regularly found: 25 inorganics including 8 metals (Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb, Sn, Zn) and 21 organics (4 PAHs, 10 VOCs, 4 CPs and 3 APs). Eighteen were systematically presented at quantifiable levels.
