Dastidar 4 > Research Paper 2013 1 25 2013 February 22 This paper highlights different techniques used for waste minimization in one of the units of a chlor-alkali plant in Uttarpradesh, India. This paper points out various possibilities to reuse the waste produced in the above-mentioned unit. The main focus of this paper is on the evaluation of waste minimization at source due to process modification. The possible improvement of the treatment of effluent is also duly considered.
