Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReducing the Environmental Impact of Olive Mill WastewaterAwni Khatib, Fathi Aqra, Nader Yaghi et al.Problem Statement: A research was needed to monitor the environmental impact of olive mill wastewater (OMW): production and relative production of olive mill waste. This was achieved by collecting data from 92 local olive mills in order to study the olive production yield, water consumption in olive washing and in oil recovery, wastewater generation relative to olive processed and oil … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2009 · 8,043 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTreatment of Wastewater by Natural Lagoon for its Reuse in IrrigationM. Driche, D. Abdessemed, G. NezzalThe process of natural lagoon consists in purifying the waste water by simple flow of the effluent in not very deep ponds where proliferate bacteria, algae and other living organisms, under a surrounding air and in the presence of a solar radiation. For this study, which is spread out over 3 years (2004-2006) and which still continues, we chose the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,181 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of the Detoxification on the Shrinkage Temperature and pH of Chromium Leather Waste, Another Promising Way for the Tannery PollutionA. Malek, M. HachemiThe leather tannery industry produces a significant amount of solid chromium waste. Environmental concerns and escalating landfill costs are becoming increasingly serious problems to the leather industry and alternative disposal methods are needed. This research describes the possibility of decrease of the shrinkage temperature and to increase the pH value of leather waste by detoxification treatment with use of tartrate … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,114 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWaste Management: A Case Study of Ongoing Traditional Practices at East Calcutta WetlandShaon Raychaudhuri, Madhusmita Mishra, Poulomi Nandy, Ashoke R. ThakurCalcutta has a unique waste management system which uses the traditional non conventional practice for treating both the solid as well as soluble waste for its 12 million inhabitants . It not only detoxifies the waste but also generates resources for the existing society in form of employment as well as edibles like sufficient vegetable, fish as well as paddy … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,058 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntegrated Resource Recovery at East Calcutta Wetland: How Safe is These?Shaon Raychaudhuri, Sayali Salodkar, M. Sudarshan, Ashoke Ranjan ThakurEast Calcutta Wetland (ECW) is an example of wise use of cities solid and liquid waste through integrated resource recovery, mainly for pisciculture, vegetable as well as paddy cultivation and manure production. Amaranthus caudatus, Amaranthus blithum and Spinacia oleracea grown at ECW were analyzed for their accumulation of elements using Energy Dispersive X Ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) and compared to those … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 9,267 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffective Thermophilic Composting of Crop Residues for Inactivation of Tobacco Mosaic VirusA.E. Ghaly, F. Alkoaik, A. Snow, R. SinghAn effective thermophilic composting bioreactor, in which a homogenous distribution of temperature was maintained at 63-65°C by the addition of a bioavailable carbon and low mixing, was developed. The bioreactor operated on a mixture of tomato plant residues-wood shavings-municipal solid waste compost infected with tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). The initial C: N ratio and moisture content of the compost mixture … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,963 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProduction of Cellulase from Oil Palm Biomass as Substrate by Solid State BioconversionMd. Z. Alam, Nurdina Muhammad, Mohd E. MahmatSolid state bioconversion (SSB) of lignocellulosic material oil palm biomass (OPB) generated from palm oil industries as waste was conducted by evaluating the enzyme production through filamentous fungus in lab-scale experiment. OPB in the form of empty fruit bunches (EFB) was used as the solid substrate and treated with the fungus Trichoderma harzianum to produce cellulase. The results presented in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2005 · 7,440 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of a Multi-Metal Resistant Bacillus cereus Strain TWSL_5 and it’s Bioremediation Potential for Cr, Pb, Zn and FeWeerasingha Mudiyanselage Nilmini Hasintha Kumari, Naduviladath Vishvanath Chandrasekharan, Champika Dilrukshi WijayarathnaAn effluent sample collected from a textile dyeing factory was screened to isolate metal resistant endogenous bacteria using standard microbiology techniques. A bacterium with the highest metal resistance was characterized by 16S rRNA gene sequencing and the bacterial genome was screened for any possible metal resistant genes using the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). The bioremoval ability of the isolate was … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 3 · 15 Jul 2021 · 6,443 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChemical Coagulation/Flocculation Processes for Removal of Phenolic Compounds from Olive Mill Wastewater: A Comprehensive ReviewMounia Achak, Fatima Elayadi, Wafaa BoumyaOlive oil extraction processes generate three phases: Olive oil, solid residue (pomace) and aqueous liquor Olive Mill Wastewater (OMW). OMW causes serious environmental deteriorations such as coloring of natural waters, alteration of soil quality, phytotoxicity and odor nuisance. The direct discharge of this effluent into the soil bring various negative effects on the environment, due to its high load of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 3 · 30 Mar 2019 · 10,494 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThermodynamics, Non-Linear Isotherms, Statistical Modeling and Optimization of Phosphorus Adsorption from WastewaterAkinpelu Kamoru BabayemiPalm Kernel Shell (PKN), an eco-friendly biomass, was carbonized and activated for the removal of phosphorus from wastewater through batch adsorption process.
