Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsELECTROLYSIS OF SWINE MANURE EFFLUENTS USING THREE DIFFERENT ELECTRODES Fe-Fe, Al-Al AND Fe-AlS. Rahman, M. S. BorhanSwine effluent with high organic strength need to be treated to make it suitable for applying to crop/pasture fields, or discharging to any waterways. Electrocoagulation is a relatively simpler and cheaper technique over biological and chemical treatment methods currently used to treat high-strength industrial and municipal wastewater. The performance of an electrocoagulation system mainly depends on the pH, Electrical Conductivity … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 9 Oct 2014 · 9,177 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Correlations Between Mercury Speciation and Dissolved Organic Matter in the Sediment of the Red SeaM. A. Wedyan, F. A. Ababneh, S. Al-RousanThis study addresses the correlations between Hg and organic matter in recent sediment; samples were collected from the Gulf of Aqaba, Red Sea coasts (oligotrophic regions) during 2010. In the present study TOC analyzer was used to determine Total Organic Carbon (TOC) and Total Nitrogen (TN) concentrations and the total amount of mercury (HgT) in sediment samples were analyzed by … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 21 Jun 2012 · 6,795 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsComparison of Selected Soil Chemical Properties of Two Different Mangrove Forests in SarawakEmpi Rambok, Seca Gandaseca, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. MajidProblem statement: Despite few studies of forest health and environmental conditions of mangrove forest in Sarawak, the data was not sufficient to facilitate baseline data and direct comparison of mangrove forest health obtained for different location of mangrove forest in Sarawak. On this regard, determination of contemporary mangrove soil condition was essential to addressing mangrove forest for forest health, carbon … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2010 · 9,648 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsComparison of Selected Chemical Properties of Peat Swamp Soil Before and After Timber HarvestingMuhamad Ismawi Salimin, Seca Gandaseca, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. MajidProblem statement: Peat swamp is an important component of the world’s wetlands. Once they are disturbed the tendency for the soil degradation is very high. This study compared selected chemical properties of a peat swamp soil before and after timber harvesting. Approach: Peat soil samples were taken at 0-15 cm depth in 6 plots with 0.1 ha each plot at … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2010 · 8,786 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsInfluence of Chemical Properties on Soil Carbon Storage of a Tropical Peat Swamp ForestAnton Eko Satrio, Seca Gandaseca, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. MajidProblem statement: It is important to investigate the seriousness of degradation of peat swamp forest caused by skidding system in terms of its function as a carbon sink. In this study, we formulated assumptions that conditions of our research site before the introduction of skidding system were in their natural states, thus that changes measured are clearly caused by skidding … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2009 · 7,915 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsOrganic Matter, Carbon and Humic Acids in Rehabilitated and Secondary Forest SoilsLee Yit Leng, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. Majid, Mohamadu Boyie JallohProblem Statement: Tropical rainforests cover about 19.37 million ha (60%) of Malaysia’s total area and about 8.71 million ha can be found in Sarawak, Malaysia. Excessive logging, mining and shifting cultivation contribute to deforestation in Sarawak. The objectives of this study were to: (i) Quantify soil Organic Matter (SOM), Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) and Humic Acids (HA) in rehabilitated and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 7,761 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsASSESSMENT OF SURFACE WATER QUALITY IN AN ARSENIC CONTAMINATED VILLAGEKumud C. Saikia, Susmita GuptaArsenic contamination of ground water has occurred in various parts of the world, becoming a menace in the Ganga-Meghna-Brahmaputra basin (West Bengal and Assam in India and Bangladesh).
