Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAlkali Pretreatment and Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Cattails from Constructed WetlandsBo Zhang, Abolghasem Shahbazi, Lijun Wang et al.Problem statement: To date, production of liquid fuel, particularly ethanol, has only been economically feasible from food crops that are high in sugar and starch. However, the use of arable land for fuel rather than for food production and the use of a food source for fuel rather than as food have created issues in prices and availability of traditional … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 9,105 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsManganese Uptake By Facultative and Obligate Wetland Plants Under Laboratory ConditionsA. E. Ghaly, A. Snow, M. KamalThe effect of initial concentrations of manganese on the overall removal efficiency of Mn by wool grass, soft rush, broad leaved cattail and soft stem bulrush plants was investigated under laboratory conditions. The translocation of Mn in the roots, stems, leaves and flowers of each plant species was determined and the fraction of Mn removed by precipitation was calculated. The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 8,271 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractKinetics of Manganese Uptake by Wetland PlantsA.E. Ghaly, A. Snow, M. KamalThe aim of this study was to assess the kinetics of Mn removal by broad-leaved cattail, soft stem bulrush, soft rush and wool grass plants from contaminated wastewater under laboratory conditions. The approach used was based on a first order kinetic model which depended on the initial heavy metal concentration in the wastewater and allowed for the evaluation of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,324 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractKinetics of Iron Uptake by Wetland PlantsA.E. Ghaly, A. Snow, M. KamalThe aim of this study was to assess the kinetics of Fe removal by broad-leaved cattail, soft stem bulrush, soft rush and wool grass plants from contaminated wastewater under laboratory conditions. The approach used was based on a first order kinetic model which allowed for the evaluation of the specific metal uptake rate and the maximum accumulation of the metal … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 6,865 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMethane Emissions by Reed Formations on the Azov Sea CoastDmitry Nikolaevich Gar'kusha, Viktor Vladimirovich SukhorukovMapping of reed zones including both single-species formations and mixed formations of reeds and cattails has been done to assess methane emissions produced by reed formations growing on the coast and adjacent areas of the Azov Sea. In particular zones full-scale experiments have been carried out in order to measure methane emissions above common reed (Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin. ex … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 4 · 24 Dec 2019 · 6,950 accessesView PDFCite
