Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUtilization of Banana, Pineapple and Watermelon Wastes-Substrate: As Consortiums to Remediating Cyanide Polluted SoilFlorence Obiageli Nduka, Samuel Chibuike Ubani, Victor Eshu Okpashi et al.The act of processing cassava for varied food products has come with unguided and wide-spread contamination of cyanide in the environment. The need for effective reduction in cost to enable remediation of cyanide-contaminated sites from cassava mill factories is the purpose of this investigation. This involves bio-stimulation of organic wastes with indigenous microorganisms to degrade cyanide. The application of organic … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2018 · 9,930 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Review of Effects of Environmental Change on Human HealthUttam PaudelCurrent knowledge production on the effects of environmental exposures on human health reflects technological, social and economic development broadly; theoretical and methodological advancements in social science and medicine more specifically. Human health and the welfare mainly rely on refurbishing and protecting the integrity of the natural systems such as fresh air, safe water, biodiversity, toxic waste management and proper land … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 3 · 29 Apr 2018 · 8,538 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacteristics of Feather Protein Concentrates Hydrolyzed Using Bacillus subtilis FNCC 0059Muhammad Irfan Said, Effendi Abustam, Farida Nur Yuliati, Muhammad Zain MideFermentation technology is one technology that can be applied in the process of hydrolysis and decomposition of keratin protein in chicken feather waste. The fermentation technology can use microbial bacteria as a decomposer to improve the digestibility of the Feather Waste (FW). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the properties of chicken feather waste and Feather Protein Concentrate … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 2 · 5 Jan 2018 · 7,277 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRemediation of Heavy Metals by using Industrial Waste by Products in Acid Mine DrainageNuur Hani Mohammed, Mustapha Atta, Wan Zuhairi Wan YaacubAcid Mine Drainage (AMD) is one of the main important problems being combated today. Laboratory tank experiments were conducted to evaluate the use of industry waste to adsorb and control the mobilization of metals from contaminated acid mine water. The main physical conditions such as pH and treatment performance are displayed. The solution of acid mine were sampled from the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 18 Dec 2017 · 7,342 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Review: Biodegradation and Applications of Keratin Degrading Microorganisms and Keratinolytic Enzymes, Focusing on Thermophiles and Thermostable Serine ProteasesWirojne Kanoksilapatham, Weeranut IntagunKeratins are hard-degrading fibrous proteins, insoluble in water and organic solvents, often accumulated in nature and major components in feathers, skins, hair, horn, nail, hoof etc., Keratin-degrading microorganisms such as bacteria, archaea, actinomycetes and fungi employ keratinases to attack keratin. Keratinases belonging to subtilisin-like serine proteases were classified based on similarity of amino acid sequences. Keratinolytic thermophilic or hyperthermophilic bacteria … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 11 · 10 Nov 2017 · 9,981 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Studies on Proximate Composition and Phytochemical Screening of Mango, Key lime, African star apple and African pear Seeds as Possible Coagulant Aids for Water TreatmentAnimetu Seghosime, Johannes Akpabla Mawuli Awudza, Richard Buamah, Sampson Oduro KwartengMany fruits including mango (Mangifera indica), key lime (Citrus aurantiifolia), African star apple (Chrysophyllum albidum) and African or bush pear (Dacryodes edulis) are nutritionally valuable as human food, however after consumption of the fruits, their seeds are discarded as wastes since they are of no commercial value and this results in disposal problems. Hence assessment of the constituents of such … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 12 Aug 2017 · 9,950 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractContinuous Flow Synthesis of Zeolite-A from Coal Fly Ash Utilizing Microwave Irradiation with Recycled Liquid StreamSalman Bukhari, Sohrab RohaniCoal Fly Ash (CFA) was converted to zeolite using continuous microwave reactors while minimizing the wastewater produced during the zeolitization process. At bench scale, a continuous flow tubular microwave reactor was used to explore the effect of microwave irradiation on the crystallinity of the product. The waste water was reused in consecutive runs and Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) analysis was … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 19 Jun 2017 · 7,237 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Investigation of Limonene-based Environmental-Friendly Emulsion Drilling MudOlaitan Oluwaseum Micheal, Orodu Oyinkepreye David, Ehinmowo Adegboyega BoluThe use of emulsion drilling mud in the oil and gas industry has gained wide acceptance. However, the disposal of drill cuttings and the waste of such emulsion drilling mud usually poses environmental concern. Hence, there is the need to seek oil from biodegradable sources as an alternative to the current conventional diesel oil which constitute environmental threat. In this … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 12 Jun 2017 · 7,923 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of Household Wastes in D.R. Congo, a Case Study of LubumbashiMartin T. Mpinda, Sissou Zakari, Olusegun K. Abass et al.The insufficient supervision of household solid waste is a notorious problem in DR. Congo cities. Besides, solid waste management in Lubumbashi has been very rudimentary and unsystematic. This study aims to quantify and characterize the household solid waste in two Lubumbashi municipalities. For more than 50 years after independence from colonialism, the city trailed direct discharge of waste on exposed … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 10 Jun 2017 · 8,217 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLong-Term Characterization of Landfill Leachate: Impacts of the Tropical Climate on its CompositionJorge Luiz da Paixão Filho, Miriam Gonçalves MiguelThe disposal of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) in sanitary landfills produces leachate, whose composition changes depending on the microbial community and the environmental conditions. However, these changes cannot be observed in sanitary landfill because of the superposition of cells, which makes it difficult to determinate the relationship among the phases of biodegradation of MSW, the composition of the leachate and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 14 Mar 2017 · 8,573 accessesView PDFCite
