“…The tomato industry produces huge amounts of wastewater effluents during tomato manufacturing. Tomato-processing wastewaters generally contain high organic content along with sufficient particulate and colloidal fractions that are not only slowly biodegradable but also exhibit very poor settling characteristics [100]. The wastewater stream produced during tomato manufacturing is characterized by dark color, bad smell, and high content of organics, as well as suspended solids particles.…”

Industry is one of the main sources of water pollution since a long time and currently increasing day by day. Industries produces pollutants that are not only extremely harmful to people but also to the aquatic environment. Many industrial facilities use freshwater to carry away waste from the industrial plants into rivers, lakes and oceans. During the last century a huge amount of industrial wastewater was discharged into rivers, lakes and coastal areas. This resulted in serious pollution problems in the water bodies and caused negative effects to the eco-system and human's life. There are many types of industrial wastewater pollutants based on different industries and each sector produces its own particular combination of pollutants from the processes. The technology for the treatment of industrial wastewater must be designed more specifically for the particular type of pollutants produced. Membrane has made important contributions to the welfare of people with positive quality of life more than the majority of all other disciplines. In this chapter most of the industrial pollutants and their membrane based treatment mechanisms are described.

a b s t r ac tIn this research, cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB) electrospun nanofiber membrane (ENM) was prepared by electrospinning method in order to separate the contaminants of an industrial wastewater. The influence of various electrospinning parameters on morphology and average fiber diameter of the membranes were investigated by scanning electron microscopy and image analysis. The permeability of the membranes was evaluated by measuring pure water flux. In order to investigate the performance of the prepared membranes for tomato wastewater treatment, the rejection of the pollution indices and flux were determined. The results demonstrated the potential of using CAB nanofiber membrane for wastewater treatment. The appropriate electrospinning conditions led to preparation of the membranes with high water permeability in the range of microfiltration, proper retention efficiency in the range of ultrafiltration and noticeable antifouling property.

“…To compare the ST of the five studied regions (Cantabria, Cataluña, Valencia, Caserta and Brussels), the different ST structures were applied to wastewater generated in a tomato-processing industry and to the same water treated in-situ by a common biological treatment to fulfill legal discharge requirements [12]. In Table 3, the chemical and physical properties of raw and treated wastewater are presented [13]. The biological treatment allows reducing pollution load considerably.…”

Market failure involving pollution from wastewater discharges industrials, is corrected with the establishment of environmental taxes. Heterogeneity in the design of these taxes, with a different tax base for each EU member country, affects both the pollution parameters considered and their weight in the calculation of the tax payable. This paper presents a study on the variety of this tax in Belgium, Italy and Spain. Finally, we discuss the possibility of the same as correcting market failure.
