Poultry slaughtering and post-processing activities generate different kinds of highly perishable organic wastes and by-products. Poultry carcass yields are typically about 70-75% of the live bird weight, the rest is ...

The adsorption of methylene blue onto bentonite in a batch adsorber has been studied. Three kinetic models, the intraparticle diffusion equation and the pseudo first and second order equations, were selected to follow the ...

An average p,p'- DDE concentrations in pore water of contaminated soil ranged from 0.36 mu g/L to 0.55 mu g/L and there were no statistically significant among the cultivars. Conversely, the xylem sap p,p'- DDE concentration ...

The phosphate removal potential of alunite, a low cost and abundantly available material, has been investigated. The effects of calcination temperature and time of alunite, adsorbent particle size, pH and initial phosphate, ...

dAn attempt to alleviate the problem caused by the presence of reactive dyes in textile effluents was undertaken. Since alunite is a very abundant and inexpensive, we decided to experiment with it as a potential adsorbent ...

This paper deals with the suitability of agricultural and municipal organic wastes as growing media components for ornamental plants. Nine growing media prepared by mixing the main components of peat (P), hazelnut husk (H) ...

This paper describes the adsorption of Al3+ ions from aqueous solutions, by natural clay (from Sakarya's Yenigun district) and coconut shell modified by means of acid treatment. Batch experiments were carried out to determine ...

Electromagnetic field exposure levels of people living in the closest houses to the GSM transmitting antennas were investigated in a city between 2010 and 2012. At the end of 3-year period, trend of the electromagnetic ...

Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) has been shown to be an important variable in water quality management and planning. However, BOD is difficult to measure and needs longer time periods (5 days) to get results. Artificial ...
