Developing eco-technologies: A possibility to minimize environmental impact in Southern Brazil [An article from: Journal of Cleaner Production]
This digital document is a journal article from Journal of Cleaner Production, published by Elsevier in 2004. The article is delivered in HTML format and is available in your Amazon.com Media Library immediately after purchase. You can view it with any web browser.

Description:
This article discusses the need to integrate scientific research with the concept of Industrial Ecology, acting as support for the development of Eco-technologies. In order to proceed with the discussion, an initial section presents the concepts. A new and more accurate position concerning the extension of Eco-technologies in the context of Industrial Ecology is proposed. Emphasis on the role of academic scientific research as a way to propose and support specific solutions for local problems. Thus, alternative solutions based on the application of non-conventional technologies, which explore the unique regional characteristics of a Brazilian region, are examined. The sharing of waste streams generated by two polluting industries, mining and leather tanning, can lead to lower environmental impact if compared with separate management of their wastes. A comprehensive bibliographic review of non-conventional technologies related to heavy metal attenuation is included.

Using ecotechnology to redirect Taiwan’s construction work away from conventional method [An article from: Ecological Engineering]
This digital document is a journal article from Ecological Engineering, published by Elsevier in 2006. The article is delivered in HTML format and is available in your Amazon.com Media Library immediately after purchase. You can view it with any web browser.

Description:
In order to reverse the trend of deteriorating ecological environment, Taiwan launched a movement to use ecotechnology to redirect construction. This policy requires that in addition to meeting function and safety requirements, all infrastructure constructions must minimize their impact on the ecology. This paper describes how this policy is implemented and gives the guidelines for ecological construction. It also used two types of infrastructure construction-slope stabilization and debris flow mitigation; and river flow management-to illustrate how the ecotechnology principle was applied to infrastructure construction. Observation so far indicates that this is the right approach for Taiwan: these new constructions endure the test of typhoons and heavy rains and reduce natural disasters; ecology recovers very well; the cost is lower than the conventional methods; and by hiring local people to do local construction, we have observed some positive change in people’s attitude about their communities.

Dealing with nitrogen in subtropical Australia: Seven case studies in the diffusion of ecotechnological innovation [An article from: Ecological Engineering]
This digital document is a journal article from Ecological Engineering, published by Elsevier in 2006. The article is delivered in HTML format and is available in your Amazon.com Media Library immediately after purchase. You can view it with any web browser.

Description:
This paper describes seven case studies in which ecotechnological approaches are being used to reduce the discharge of nitrogen to the environment in three local government jurisdictions in the moist subtropical zone of eastern Australia. Both technical performance and factors relating to acceptance of the technologies are examined. Three of the technologies have survived early setbacks to achieve increasing acceptance. Composting toilets and reed beds (sub-surface flow wetlands) have achieved takeoff in the on-site wastewater context in the Lismore City Council area where the level of adoption (based on 2004-2005 figures) for both technologies was approximately 30% of newly approved systems. In both cases, the level of adoption has been favoured by local scientific studies which have confirmed claims regarding technical performance and by regulations which encourage the reduction of nitrogen discharge to the environment. Free water surface (FWS) wetlands are installed as polishing devices at three of the 10 sewage treatment plants (STPs) in Lismore and the adjoining Byron and Richmond River Shires. Early problems arising from inexperience at design, construction and management of these wetlands have been overcome as local familiarity has increased. This confidence has been a factor in the decision to support a major upgrade to the West Byron constructed wetland system and to install a further three wetlands locally. A further two technologies each have one full-scale system in operation. A 24ha multipurpose wetland regeneration project for effluent polishing and transpiration, acid sulfate soil management, wetland regeneration, and carbon sequestration, recently installed at the end of the West Byron STP treatment train, is reducing total nitrogen concentrations from approximately 4-1mg/L. A landfill leachate treatment system incorporating pond, macrophyte zones, horizontal flow gravel filter and single pass sand filter is reducing NH”4-N and TKN concentrations by 95% and 84%, respectively. The final two technologies described are associated with the reuse and/or treatment of municipal wastewaters. The annual crops hemp and kenaf have both exhibited high N uptake rates in irrigated crop trials. However, their short growing season has resulted in rejection as production crops at one STP in the Byron Shire. The recent realization that the perennial pasture grass Setaria sphacelata can perform the role of wetland macrophyte has given rise to the concept of the ”wet-and-dry-land” cell. Still at the pilot stage, this ecotechnology may have application in areas with distinct wet and dry seasons.
