Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeophysical and Geological Studies of the Spread and Industrial Quality of Okurike Barite DepositAnthony E. Akpan, Ebong D. Ebong, Stephen E. Ekwok, Sackey JosephInvestors have been avoiding the Okurike Barite due to paucity of information on its economic worth in spite of the high demand for barites by the local industries. This study was embarked upon to determine the spread and industrial quality of the barite deposit in order to bridge the information gap. The Okurike Barite mineralised site was investigated using geophysical … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 6 · 22 Dec 2014 · 7,256 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTYPICAL MEXICAN AGROINDUSTRIAL RESIDUES AS SUPPORTS FOR SOLID-STATE FERMENTATIONDulce A. Flores-Maltos, Solange I. Mussatto, Juan C. Contreras Esquivel et al.Biological wastes contain several reusable substances of high value such as soluble sugars and fiber. Direct disposal of such wastes to soil or landfill causes serious environmental problems. Thus, the development of potential value-added processes for these wastes is highly attractive. These biological wastes can be used as support-substrates in Solid-State Fermentation (SSF) to produce industrially relevant metabolites with great … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 18 Mar 2014 · 7,473 accessesView PDFCite
