Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEnumeration of Microbes and Gas Production During Denitrification and Nitrogen Fixation Processes in SoilA. E. Ghaly, K. N. MacDonaldDry plant material contains 2-4% nitrogen, making it an essential nutrient for all plants. The nitrogen cycle regulates the pathways which transform nitrogen from a relatively inert dinitrogen gas to forms of organic nitrogen such as proteins and nucleic acids. Denitrification and nitrogen fixation are the two most important processes that remove and add nitrogen to the soil, respectively. The … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Sep 2012 · 8,618 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsCOUPLED NITROGEN AND OXYGEN ISOTOPE STUDY OF NITRATE AT A RURAL UNLINED LANDFILL IN WESTERN VICTORIA, AUSTRALIAJohn W. Moreau, Andrew M. MinardUnderstanding of site-scale physical and chemical heterogeneities will inform remediation strategies for unlined rural landfills worldwide. The aim of this study was to characterize potential sources of nitrogen contamination to groundwater at an unlined landfill in rural western Victoria, Australia. Results revealed simultaneously high concentrations of both nitrate and ammonia within several wells, indicative of heterogeneous redox potentials within the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 30 Jun 2014 · 7,607 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsNitrification of Urea and Assimilation of Nitrate in Saturated Soils Under Aerobic ConditionsV. V. Ramakrishnan, A. E. GhalyThe aim of this study was to investigate nitrification activity of urea and the assimilation of nitrate in a well aerated soil using perfusion technique with addition of glucose as an energy and carbon source. In this study, urea was rapidly nitrified by the bacteria in the saturated soil but its course of transformation to NO3 was not linear. There … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 6 Nov 2013 · 8,415 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsModeling of Activated Sludge Floc CharacteristicsIbrahim H. Mustafa, G. Ibrahim, Ali Elkamel, A. H. ElahwanyProblem Statement: The activated sludge system needs to improve the operational performance and to achieve more effective control. To realize this, a better quantitative understanding of the biofloc characteristics is required. The objectives of this study were to: (i) Study the biofloc characteristics from kinetics-mass transfer interaction point of view by quantification of the weight of the aerobic portion of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,422 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPreliminary Evaluation of a Permeable Reactive Barrier for Reducing Groundwater Nitrate Transport from a Large Onsite Wastewater SystemCharles Humphrey, Sushama Pradhan, Eban Bean et al.A permeable reactive barrier was installed between a large Onsite Wastewater System (OWS) and a monitoring well located down-gradient from the OWS. Groundwater samples from the well had shown elevated and increasing concentrations of NO3--N (>20 mg L-1 for 2 years). The barrier was constructed using woodchips from various tree species that were placed in a trench excavated to approximately … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 25 Aug 2015 · 7,372 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEVALUATION OF N ADDITIVES FOR IMPROVING N USE EFFICIENCY OF SURFACE APPLIED UREA TO DRY SEEDED AND PERMANENTLY FLOODED RICEDavid D. Dunn, Pawel WiatrakThere are several potential Nitrogen (N) loss mechanisms in a dry seeded and delayed flood system rice (Oryza Satvia L.) production system including urea volatilization and denitrification. The scope and magnitude of these potential losses are largely weather dependent. Two additives (stabilizers), Agrotain and Nutrisphere-N, have been offered to rice producers for controlling these potential losses. This study compared these … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 21 Jun 2014 · 6,692 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTHE IMPACT OF THE POLYMER COATING NUTRISPHERE™ IN INCREASING NITROGEN USE EFFICIENCY AND CORN YIELDTimothy A. Smith, Ronnie W. Heiniger, Pawel WiatrakCurrently, it is estimated that 50 to 60% of the N applied fertilizer is actually utilized by the crop with the remaining N lost through leaching or denitrification. A three year study was conducted at eight locations in North Carolina to examine the impact of Nutrisphere™ on corn yield, optimum N rate, maximum yield, tissue N concentration, plant biomass and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 21 Dec 2013 · 8,037 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeterogeneous Modeling, Identification and Simulation of Activated Sludge ProcessesIbrahim H. Mustafa, G. Ibrahim, Ali Elkamel, A. H. ElahwanyProblem statement: The activated sludge system is a complex dynamic process and must account for a large number of reactions between large numbers of components. There is necessity for simulation models which describe the dynamic behavior of the activated sludge process. The application of the models in most treatment plants is limited due to lack of appropriate data acquisition and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 6,592 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of Moving Bed Biofilm Process for Biological Organics and Nutrients Removal from Municipal WastewaterM. Kermani, B. Bina, H. Movahedian et al.In this study, experiments have been conducted to evaluate the organics and nutrients removal from synthetic wastewater by a laboratory scale moving bed biofilm process. For nutrients removal, moving bed biofilm process has been applied in series with anaerobic, anoxic and aerobic units in four separate reactors. Moving bed biofilm reactors were operated continuously at different loading rates of nitrogen … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2008 · 9,092 accessesView PDFCite
