Biodegradation and Dewatering of an Industrial Waste Oil
Waste oil generated from industrial operations at a diesel locomotive maintenance facility was investigated to establish its treatability and potential volume reduction. The waste oil and water mixture separated into four distinct layers; free oil, emulsified oil, weathered oil, and wastewater. The …

Removal of microorganisms and proteins from sewage and industrial waste with chlorinated solvents
Very few sewage and industrial waste treatment effluents are free from microorganisms and proteins. Such discharges require further treatment by the receiving stream and consequently lower stream quality. The object of this investigation was to evaluate chlorinated solvent processes for the removal …

Electroanalysis of Cystine and Selenocystine.
… floor of a room in which sulfur, obtained as an industrial waste product from a copper mine, had been used; its similarity to tellurium had caused it to have been mistaken for that element. Since the name tellurium had been coined from talus, the Latin word for "earth," Berzelius named his …
