        Regarding to the variety of uses of steel in the world and widening its scope of application with the advancement of technology, steel production has changed to keep pace with advances in technology, following the changes; producers have tried to raise productivity and use of cheaper energy and fuels due to its geographical environment. There are the wastes in different stages of steelmaking (coke making, iron making and steelmaking). The generated wastes in this industry are with hazardous substances such as heavy metals, according to the classifications of the wastes, are classified as hazardous wastes. Therefore, identification and analysis and management of such waste in these industries are essential. The release of aforesaid hazardous wastes in nature can be had issues and problems for the environment and human health ultimately exceed the acceptable environmental conditions. The proper management of hazardous wastes in order to reduce and control pollution of the environment is utmost importance. Manuscript profile

        Industrial development and rapid population growth due to the increase in consumed materials and the consequent increase in industrial waste is one of the challenges in the world. The purpose of this study is to investigate the quantity of industrial waste production in the industrial group of plastics and synthetic rubber in Guilan province and the conditions of resulting pollution. The results of this study show that the major industrial wastes identified in this group include plastic waste, paint cans, cardboard waste, paint powder, packaging strap, polymer waste, polymer sludge, wood waste, glass and carbon fiber waste. Plastic waste with 136.08 tons is the highest and paint powder with 0.04 tons is the lowest industrial waste produced in this group. The used oil with a total amount of 14092 liters per year is the only hazardous waste identified in this group. From the present study, it is concluded that the main management methods used in this industrial group are recycling and sales, but hazardous waste is not disposed of properly. The proposed method for used oil is refining. Manuscript profile

        Dye is the first known pollutant in industrial wastewater, and its small amount is very undesirable in water. Most of the dyes contain complex organic molecules and are harmful to aquatic life and humans due to the presence of metals, aromatics and other compounds in their structure. Removing or reducing the amount of this pollutant entering the environment is essential, and biological absorption is one of these methods. The main purpose of this research is to investigate the removal of blue reactive textile dye by spirulina microalgae. In the process of conducting the research, the effect of variables such as contact time, injected algae dose and wastewater concentration was investigated on the dye removal process and the amount of absorption of the samples was measured by a spectrophotometer and the number of experiments was determined by the design expert software via response surface method (RSM) and the analysis of variance (ANOVA) statistical tool was used to analyze the obtained results. Based on the obtained results, in the optimal conditions of the experiment, the best percentage of dye removal by spirulina microalgae was 100% in contact time of 30 minutes with a dose of 10 ml of injected algae into wastewater with a color concentration of 50 mg/L. Therefore, the use of microalgae, in addition to being an inexpensive and easy-to-operate method for color removal from colored wastewater such as textile wastewater, it will be of interest to researchers as an environmentally friendly method to remove hard degradable pollutants.
