Syllabus
Pollution and waste generation in ceramic and related industries. Kiln and stack emissions, pollution from service units like air compressor, laboratories, gas producers, storage facilities, waste water treatment plant etc Environmental and health impacts of pollutants and solid wastes. Indian environmental laws and WHO’s norms. Pollution reduction measures in ceramic industries: air, sound, solid waste, water. Nature and type of industrial waste useful for ceramic industries. Use of industrial wastes in ceramic industries Utilization of fly ash, rice husk, BF slag in the production of traditional, advanced ceramics. Utilization of red mud and recovery of metals from red mud. Application of zeolite in environment (catalytic effect, water purification). Clay as an absorbent of toxic pollutant Recycling of industrial waste. Fluorine contamination in alumina Industry disposal and recovery of refractory materials. Ceramics for water and air purification. Glass & glass ceramics in nuclear waste management
