Managing heavy metals contaminated industrial wastewater from inorganic chemical industries in the West Bank: Implementing cleaner production (CP) for sustainability
Category: Water Resources
Objectives:
The main goal of this project is to recommend through pilot studies appropriate CP tools and best practices to efficiently manage industrial wastewater contaminated with heavy metals (i.e. from leather industry) in the West Bank. Therefore, it focuses on the management and treatment of wastewater polluted with heavy metals generated from local chemical industries (leather tanning) and generalizes them to galvanization and aluminum fabrication. The project uses appropriate tools, techniques and technologies for treating industrial wastewater containing heavy metals for pollution prevention, control, recycling and reuse of resources and the recovery of metals and value added products.
