Application of barley straw to remove nitrate from drainage water
ABSTRACT-Nowadays farmers often use N-fertilizers to increase crop yield, but they lost quickly by leaching causes environmental contaminations that reported as most important source of pollutant. Although biofilters are useful for removing nitrate from drainage water, but many researches show that they need an external carbon source to sustain denitrification. Many researchers study on differe...
متن کاملThe effect of wheat straw bleaching on some mechanical properties of wheat straw/LDPE biocomposites
Using biocomposites containing wheat straw (WS) and synthetic polymers like polyethylene (PE) has gained tremendous popularity, but its application in the packaging industry is not substantial. Due to the prevalence of raw WS color which manifests itself in the WS/LDPE biocomposite, the present investigation is dedicated to fabricate a bleached WS/LDPE composite. Thus, raw WS and the pulp of WS...
متن کاملEffect of Sterilization on Mineralization of Straw and Black Carbon
The study was aimed at investigating the role of microorganisms in the degradation of BC (black carbon). CO2 evolution was measured under sterilized and non-sterilized soil using BC and straw amendments. Black carbon and straw were produced from homogenously C labelled roots of barley (Hordeum vulgare) with a specific activity 2.9 MBq g C. Production of BC was implemented at 300 oC for 24 h in ...
متن کاملProducts of Wheat Straw Biodegradation by Cyathus stercoreus
The residual biodegradation products of wheat straw lignin attacked by Cyathus stercoreus for thirty days were identified. Low-molecualr-weight nonvolatile materials constituted less than 5% of the total 14C released from labeled lignin. In this portion, syringic acid, vanillic acid, p-hydroxy benzoic acid, acetic acid, and 2-methoxy-succinic acid were found. The majority of the water-soluble b...
متن کاملToxic Effects of Straw
Oregon produces 70% of the world supply of cool season grass seed, including tall fescue (Lolium arundinaceum) and perennial ryegrass (L. perenne). About 225,000 ha of grass seed are currently in production in Oregon. Traditionally, the seed was harvested in June and July and the straw residue in the fields was burned during July and August. Today, the straw is harvested and used for animal fee...
