The paper deals with processing the waste generated in paper recycling: initial waste of paper mill and sludge after wastewater treatment. The authors have analyzed characteristics of the waste of paper recycling generated in paper recycling plant near Kyiv (Ukraine): calorific value, moisture and ash content. The heating value of waste of paper recycling range from 6.5 to 24 kJ/kg and significantly depends on moisture content. Potential environmental impact depends largely on the physical and chemical characteris...

An idea of пїЅclean productionпїЅ, which provides for the modernization of industrial enterprises to environmental standards, is the concept that promote to sustainable development. The idea of combining economic and environmental effectiveness is a base of the concept. The most common indicator of balance is the environmental footprint, which is determined through calculating the use of natural resources. In addition, the environmental footprint provides an opportunity to assess how long can affect on the environ...

The activities of mining and chemical enterprises in Ukraine have reserved a number of environmental issues that affects all elements of the environment and requires immediate solution. Nowadays, in Ukraine, there are still relevant soil subsidence in areas of mining and chemical enterprises, the accumulation of large-tonnage industrial wastes, accumulation and migration of heavy metals in soils. Equally, important is the issue of water pollution in the area of mining and chemical enterprises. The purpose of this ...

Multispectral television measurements can be used for applied tasks of environmental monitoring, in particular for measuring the parameters of phytoplankton in aqueous media. In this case, the concentration of phytoplankton particles in the water volume is determined, the average particle sizes and the average concentration of chromophores in the near-surface layer. The aim of the work is to improve the multispectral television method to increase the accuracy of measuring the parameters of phytoplankton. An improv...

Environmental assessment is also the basis for the definition and management of ecological risk of anthropogenic load on the environment. The possible impact on the Bugsky estuary are presented and substantiated and solutions are proposed to reduce the anthropogenic impact on the waters of the estuary. The main element of risk analysis is to identify hazards that can lead to negative consequences. Purpose is a comparative analysis of the environmental status of surface waters on the basis of integrated indicators....

The article aims at analysing the content of heavy metals in the soils of two rural administrative units of the municipality of Trzebinia namely Psary and P?oki which are located in the Silesian-KrakпїЅw Upland, in the western part of the Malopolska province, in Poland. The analysis of soil material was based on the determination of granulometric composition of the soil with the use of the Casagrande method modified by PrпїЅszy?ski (according to the industry standard BN-78/9180-11)[1], soil reaction in 1M KCl and ...

Mining and chemical industry is a source of significant anthropogenic impact on natural components. Industrial wastes of Rozdil state mining and chemical enterprise (SMCE) пїЅSirkaпїЅ are one of the sources of environmental pollution, including soils and the water environment. The enterprise is located in the West of Ukraine (Lviv region). It poses an environmental hazard to the Dniester River and surrounding settlements. Large-tonnage wastes like phosphogypsum (over 3 million tons) were formed on its territory in...

An important feature of the small rivers in the fact that they are the starting point of the river network, and any changes that occur in their mode, will marked on the hydrological chain. Small rivers form the water resources of medium and large rivers, hydrochemical water quality and creating lands large areas. Object is a small river Mertvovod in Mykolaiv region (Ukraine). Purpose is an environmental analysis of the state of the Mertvovod River, to determine and analyze possible impacts on the state of the wate...
