In asphalt manufacturing, the product is typically processed from the heaviest part of petroleum. Emissions from oil refineries and asphalt manufacturers are tightly controlled using technologies that recover and re-use the particulates in the heating process. This reduces environmental emissions and also increases the efficiency of the heating process.
Cement manufacturinghas an impact on the environment at every stage of the manufacturing process. Airborne pollutants are released in the form of dust, gases, noise, and vibration when operating machinery and during blasting in quarries. Technologies to reduce dust emissions during the quarrying and manufacture of cement are widely used, as are technologies to trap and separate exhaust gases.
The chemical composition of gypsum is calcium sulfate dihydrate (CaSO4·2H2O). There are two types of gypsum: natural gypsum and Flue-Gas Desulfurization (FGD) gypsum. FGD gypsum is a by-product of desulfurization of flue gas from the stacks of fossil-fueled power plants, and the emissions captured from smoke stacks are purified into a hard substance and manufactured into gypsum. FGD gypsum has been used to manufacture gypsum board for more than 30 years.
Paint manufacturing facilities generate large quantities of both hazardous and non-hazardous waste. This waste includes equipment cleaning wastewater and waste solvent, filter cartridges, off-spec paint spills, leftover containers, and pigment dusts from air pollution control equipment.
Petroleum refining is an industrial process in which crude oil is processed and refined into more useful products such as petroleum naphtha, gasoline, diesel fuel, asphalt base, heating oil, kerosene, and liquefied petroleum gas. Oil refineries transport streams of fluids between large chemical processing units, and refining processes create chemical emissions and odors.

Paper manufacturing involves many chemical processes that drive the emission of nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and carbon dioxide (CO2). Nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide are major contributors of acid rain, whereas CO2 is a greenhouse gas responsible for climate change. In addition, wastewater discharge for pulp and paper mills often contains alcohols, chelating agents, and inorganic materials like chlorates and transition metal compounds. Furthermore, chlorine and compounds of chlorine are...
The marine environment offers particular challenges related to salt water and moisture.
