This report presents a cost analysis of sodium hypochlorite production from sodium hydroxide and chlorine. The process examined is a typical chemical process. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): "Chlorine Oxides and Chlorine Oxygen Acids", Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 7th edition Keywords: Bleach, Chlorination, Caustic Soda, NaOH, Solvay Chemicals, Chlor-alkali

This report presents a cost analysis of Calcium Hypochlorite production from slaked lime, sodium hydroxide and chlorine. The process examined is a typical sodium process. This process consists mainly in passing chlorine into a slurry of slaked lime and sodium hydroxide, generating Calcium Hypochlorite and sodium chloride. After separation steps, Calcium Hypochlorite (about 70 wt%) and an aqueous solution of sodium chloride are obtained as products. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) US Patent 4390512, issued to PPG Industries, Inc., in 1983 (2) US Patent 4428919, issued to PPG Industries, Inc., in 1984 Keywords: Caustic Soda, Calcium Salt, Bleaching Powder, Chlorination, Sodium Method, Slaked Lime

This report presents a cost analysis of Chlorine Dioxide production from sodium chlorate. The process examined is a typical sulfuric acid-based reduction process. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): Keywords: Acid-Based Reduction, Sulphuric Acid

This report presents a cost analysis of Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) production from switchgrass. In this process, switchgrass is gasified to synthesis gas (syngas), which is fermented to PHB. Hydrogen is generated as by-product. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): “A Techno-economic Analysis of Polyhydroxyalkanoate and Hydrogen Production from Syngas Fermentation of Gasified Biomass” Keywords: Polyhydroxyalcanoate, PHA, Gasification, Fermentation

Advanced Oxidation Processes – Applications, Trends, and Prospects constitutes a comprehensive resource for civil, chemical, and environmental engineers researching in the field of water and wastewater treatment. The book covers the fundamentals, applications, and future work in Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) as an attractive alternative and a complementary treatment option to conventional methods. This book also presents state-of-the-art research on AOPs and heterogeneous catalysis while covering recent progress and trends, including the application of AOPs at the laboratory, pilot, or industrial scale, the combination of AOPs with other technologies, hybrid processes, process intensification, reactor design, scale-up, and optimization. The book is divided into four sections: Introduction to Advanced Oxidation Processes, General Concepts of Heterogeneous Catalysis, Fenton and Ferrate in Wastewater Treatment, and Industrial Applications, Trends, and Prospects.

​This volume provides a review of the past 10 to 15 years of intensive research, development and demonstrations that have been on the forefront of developing bioaugmentation into a viable remedial technology. This volume provides both a primer on the basic microbial processes involved in bioaugmentation, as well as a thorough summary of the methodology for implementing the technology. This reference volume will serve as a valuable resource for environmental remediation professionals who seek to understand, evaluate, and implement bioaugmentation.
