alkaline waste

Likely strains of this species have been isolated from highly alkaline waste water.

For alkaline waste water, higher concentrations can be determined by using appropriately stronger acid for titration.

It can also consist of alkaline waste produced by kraft paper manufacturing, bark, wood waste or ash from combustion systems.

Originally, large quantities of alkaline waste were vented into the environment from the production of soda, provoking one of the first pieces of environmental legislation to be passed in 1863.

Some residents spoke of dust spilling from these lorries but it is not known how frequent this is. The company predicts that production of this alkaline waste will be unchanged if tyres were used as fuel.

Standing at the confluence of the River Irwell and River Croal the site was used around 1850-70 as a tip for toxic alkaline waste from the production of sodium carbonate (soda ash) by the Leblanc process.

This is an argument about the distribution of impacts and will be covered in section 24 on equity implications. 19 Alkaline wastes and Landfill As part of the process alkaline material is withdrawn from the plant (2-3 tonnes per hour).
