Possibilities of Recovery and Utilization
The course of industrial practice is characterized by the progressive recovery, as salvage, of products once discharged to sewers as worthless wastes. The line of distinction between salvage and wastes is steadily moving toward recovery of products within the factory, thus relieving the pollution lo ad in most industries. How this is planned and accomplished is the subject of this paper, which is based largely on data accumulated in Chicago, Ill., during a twelve-year study of industrial wastes, in which more than three hundred plants were inspected, wastes measured, sampled, and analyzed over at least a two-week period, and results computed in pounds of losses per day. During this survey, unit losses were computed, specific processes investigated, excessive losses noted and called to the attention of the plant managers, new salvage processes studied, and the general principles of los s prevention noted. Studies made for industries not in Chicago have also led to knowledge of waste problems of the various chemical, pharmaceutical, metallurgical, and packinghouse industries.
