Abstract
Some modern electron-beam based technologies and their use in industry and environmental protection are reviewed. Among the examples discussed is the treatment of wastewater of various origins (e.g. municipal, industrial and agricultural) and the removal of toxic SOx and NOx, from power plant flue gases, metallurgical plants etc. As these are relatively new industrial applications, three projects are described: the improvement of the quality and durability of cement, the pretreatment of wood chips in paper industry and the electron beam activation of oil and mazut cracking. Some important problems related to the construction of high power industrial electron accelerators are also discussed.
