Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNew Role of Sulfuric Acid In Production of Multicomponent Fertilizers From Renewable SourcesHelena Górecka, Henryk Górecki, Katarzyna Chojnacka et al.The paper discusses the possibility of using renewable sources: slaughter wastes and wood ashes in the production of NPK fertilizers. The content of macronutrients, micronutrients and toxic elements in these materials was reported. In the present work, poultry feathers were used as fertilizer source of nitrogen, animal bones as the source of phosphorus and wood ash as the source of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 8,378 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPotential Air and Groundwater Pollution from Continuous High Land Application of Cheese WheyA.E. Ghaly, D.G. Rushton, N.S. MahmoudExperiments were performed, using eighteen 280 cm deep soil columns with 20 cm inside diameter, to determine the relative amounts of nitrogenous compounds leached and volatilized from soils receiving high application rates of cheese whey during two seasons. Three soils (loamy sand, sandy loam and sandy clay loam) and two cheese whey application rates (560 and 840 kg-N ha-1), that … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,279 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Characterization of Clinker’s Microstructure at Different Temperature Zone during Cement ProductionMohd Sobri Idris, Khairul Nizar Ismail, Shamsul Baharin Jamaludin et al.Temperature is an important parameter for transformation of minerals in clinker during cement productions. It influences the formation of alite from belite during calcinations and clinkering processes. The result of microstructure shows that the formation of belite minerals started at temperature nearly 1200°C which is at calcinations zone temperature, followed by formation of α±-belite at higher temperature (around 1300°C), then … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2007 · 7,502 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPetrology, Geochemistry and Magnetization of Remah Volcano North Eastern JordanMazen AL-AmairehPeridotite ultramafic mantle xenoliths are occurring abundantly in the Harrat Al-Shaam basaltic province. Jabal Remah volcano is located in the Jordanian parts of the plateau and contains considerable amounts of mantle xenoliths within its pyroclastic successions. Mineralogical investigations show that the xenoliths are mostly of the spinel Iherzolite type, which are characterized by a protogranular texture. Modally, the xenoliths are … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 7,102 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPotential Environmental and Health Impacts of High Land Application of Cheese WheyA. E. Ghaly, N.S. Mahmoud, D.G. Rushton, F. ArabA laboratory scale experiment was carried out to study the transformation and transport of nitrogenous compounds in soils receiving high application rates of cheese whey (twice the nitrogen requirement for crops). The experimental apparatus consists of 36 soil columns constructed of 20 cm inside diameter PVC pipes. Three types of soil (sandy loam, loam and sandy clay loam) and three … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 8,158 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Total Dissolved Solids on Aquatic Organisms: A Review of Literature and Recommendation for Salmonid SpeciesPhyllis K. Weber-Scannell, Lawrence K. DuffyTotal dissolves solids (TDS) are naturally present in water or are the result of mining or some industrial treatment of water. TDS contain minerals and organic molecules that provide benefits such as nutrients or contaminants such as toxic metals and organic pollutants. Current regulations require the periodic monitoring of TDS, which is a measurement of inorganic salts, organic matter and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2007 · 23,417 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStatic and Dynamic Mechanical Behavior of Hydroxyapatite-Polyacrylic Acid Composites Under Simulated Body FluidKalpana S. Katti, Phanikumar Turlapati, Devendra Verma et al.In this work, we have investigated mechanical response of hydroxyapatite/polyacrylic composites under dry, wet and simulated body fluid conditions. Hydroxyapatite (HAP) is mineralized under two conditions; one, in presence of polyacrylic acid (in situ HAP), second, in absence of polyacrylic acid (ex situ HAP). Further, in situ and ex situ HAP are mixed with polyacrylic acid to make HAP/PAAc composites. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,402 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of the Application of Sewage Sludge and Presence of Pesticides on the Development of the Microbial Population of the Soil and on the Transformation of Organic Carbon and Nutrient ElementsM.E. Sánchez, I. B. Estrada, O. Martínez et al.The laboratory trial consisted in incubating samples of soil and soil treated with sewage sludge, with the application of organophosphate pesticides with different active ingredients under controlled conditions of temperature and moisture. On the basis of a previous study of the influence of the application of sludge on the degradation of pesticides in the soil, a kinetic study is included … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,866 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProduction of Silica-refractory Bricks from White SandGazze AlmarahleAt present, no refractories are produced in Jordan, but large quantities are imported for use in the lining of furnaces and kilns in the metallurgical industries.The aim of this study is to initiate a program of research for production of silica-refractory bricks from local materials.The raw material, which has been used in this study was white sand. This sand contains … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2005 · 7,340 accessesView PDFCite
