This conference will focus on the latest technological and scientific advances in the fields of management, characterization, minimization and abatement of industrial wastes (wastewater, off-gas and solid waste). Contributions dealing with energy-efficient and waste-to-value processes will be specially acknowledged.
Topics covered include:
1. Environmental policy and management (life cycle analyses, sustainability analysis, regulations, permits, etc. )
2. Microbiology of toxic pollutant biodegradation.
3. Industrial VOCs and Odour Treatment.
4. Wastewater, waste & off gas characterization (composition, whole effluent assessment, toxicity assessment, ecosystem and public health assessment, endocrine disruption, emerging pollutants, analysis, etc. ).
5. Energy and resource recovery, cleaner production, pollution prevention.
6. Physical and chemical treatment methods.
7. Biological treatment methods (aerobic, anaerobic, suspended growth, biofilm, etc).
8. Advanced and emerging technologies (advanced oxidation and reduction, nano materials, membrane filtration, fuel-cells etc).
9. Recipients and downstream effects (fate & modelling of emerging and recalcitrant pollutants during treatment, etc.).
10. Solid Waste Management (sludge minimization technologies, industrial solid waste treatment
11. Industrial ecology.
12. Case studies.
