The glass industry uses water in various production steps. Water is mainly used for washing produced glass after cutting, grinding, or after storage in intermediate steps, when the produced glass from one operation waits for a longer period before the next operation, and it can become contaminated. Water quality is key to effective glass washing. In particular, the number of dissolved ions affects the surface properties of glasses and therefore many ions in water are undesirable. Water is also used in steam generators, where the water evaporates and the steam heats, for example, heating cylinders. In this application, it is important that the water does not contain large amounts of dissolved ions that could cause scale formation. The aim of the work is to analyse the water quality from different production steps in an effort to be able to recommend which water is suitable for which production step.

“…Sulphates were, therefore, the major ions contained in the Garpéné borehole water. While it is true that the high concentration of sulphate only has laxative effects on the human organism, it should be recognised that its combination with other ions can introduce discomfort for the consumer (unpleasant taste) and lead to the abandonment of the facility [16]. In addition, the presence of high sulphate content could explain the corrosion of the water storage tank and the high iron concentration obtained.…”

Consumption of contaminated water poses health hazards to humanity and hence increases the need for treatment. An excessive level of sulphate in borehole water was detected in the drinking water supply of Garpéné village in Burkina Faso. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of nanofiltration and reverse osmosis for the removal of sulphate ions from borehole water. A combined nanofiltration and reverse osmosis pilot was used for the treatment of the raw borehole water and some prepared synthetic solutions. Different experimental conditions were used to evaluate the effects of the pressure, the nature of the solution to be filtered, and the ions accompanying the sulphate. The filtration tests were conducted at transmembrane pressures of 1, 2.5 and 4 bar with a nanofiltration NF270 membrane and at transmembrane pressures of 4, 6 and 8 bar with a reverse osmosis TW30 membrane. The membrane used were a thin-film composite (TFC) membrane from Filmtec. The pilot was fed with real water from the Garpéné borehole and synthetic solutions of calcium sulphate and sodium sulphate at three different concentrations (250, 500 and 1400 mg/L). The results demonstrated that the nanofiltration and reverse osmosis membranes achieved retention rates of sulphate ions ranging from 97.0% to 98.7% and 98.4% to 99.0%, respectively. The results also showed that the operating conditions had a significant effect on the retention of sulphate by reverse osmosis and nanofiltration membranes. With regard to the effect of the counter ion, it was observed that during nanofiltration, the retention rate of sulphate ions in the water to be treated was lower in the presence of calcium ions than that of sodium ions, whereas in reverse osmosis little influence of the counter ion was observed.

“…The waste produced globally has adverse impacts on the environment; according to UNEP, waste generation is roughly around 11.2 billion tons annually. Ineffective disposal of wastes causes contamination of drinking water that leads to various infections and diseases whereas debris pollution adversely impacts the ecosystem [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13].…”

Agriculture and textiles have the highest production yields among all sectors to meet mankind’s basic needs, i.e., feeding and clothing; however, they are top contributors to environmental pollution and global waste generation. Their wastes and byproducts are precious organic materials, they have great potential as raw materials for the manufacturing of valuable products. This review sheds light on various textile and agricultural wastes, waste management issues, and their existing utilization. Current waste processing methods are mostly based on waste-to-energy routes or material reclamation; however, both methods are hazardous for the environment and are inefficient. During the past decade, many researchers have utilized agriculture and textile wastes in the fabrication of composites. Textile and agricultural wastes and byproducts can be efficiently used for composite fabrication and can be suitable alternatives to existing raw materials. Using textiles and agricultural wastes for composite manufacturing can not only address waste management issues and replace non-eco-friendly materials in the composite industry but also significantly improve composite properties.
