Abstract: Over the last four decades, a number of environmental indices including water quality indices and air pollution indices have been formulated and used. Usually, the indices are formulated based either on studies conducted ...

Abstract: A technique to quantify the leachate pollution potential of landfills on a comparative scale using an index known as the Leachate Pollution Index (LPI) has been developed and reported elsewhere. The LPI is a quantitative ...

Abstract: An environmental index known as the leachate pollution index (LPI) to quantify and compare the leachate contamination potential of municipal landfills in a given geographical area was developed and reported elsewhere. The ...

Abstract: Incineration, in spite of being a costly option, is widely used for the treatment and disposal of solid, liquid, and gaseous wastes. Use of fluidized beds paved the way for less polluting incinerators. Circulating fluidized ...

Abstract: Though it may be possible to model any complex process mathematically, cold model experimental studies of the process/operation are considered to be essential and important. These studies are less difficult to perform than ...

Abstract: Recirculating fluidized bed (RCFB) is a spouted bed with a draft tube at the center. This is used for a variety of operations such as incineration, coal and heavy crude oil gasification, grain drying, blending and mixing, ...

Abstract: Several environmental indices have been developed over the last five decades. These indicators have been used by decision makers. However, it is becoming difficult for decision makers to understand the relevance and meaning ...
