The equilibrium moisture content of red beetroot has been studied and the corresponding sorption- desorption curves have obtained at temperature 20°C. strain measurement method used to establish sorption curves. Analytical dependence describing also derived. Values contents for temperatures higher than 20°C by Pass Slepchenko’s method. results are presented in graphical table form.

abstract herbicides are the main sources of soil and water pollution in paddy fields. herbicides mobility to the surface and ground water is a major concern for human health and the environment. it is, therefore, necessary to investigate their fate and their interactions in natural ecosystems. to meet this purpose, field experiments were conducted to measure kinetic of thiobencarb dissipation i...

Background & Aims of the Study: Nitrogenous compounds could directly create many problems for human's health and the environment. Thus, removal of nitrogenous compounds is necessary. Among the most important problems, decreasing dissolved oxygen, toxicity for aquatics, eutrophication, converting aerobic medium into anaerobic one and corrosion could be noted. The aim of this stu...

Water adsorption isotherms are calculated by grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations for the SPC/E water model in carbon nanopores at 298K. The pores are of slit or cylindrical morphology. Carbon-slit pores are of widths 0.8, 1.0 and 1.6 nm. The simulated single-walled carbon nanotubes are of 1.4 and 2.7 nm diameter ((10:10) and (20:20) respectively). In all cases considered, the adsorption iso...

One third of the artichoke production is used in industrial processes, where up to 70% 85% of the initial raw material is transformed into solid wastes. For an adequate management of these wastes, it is necessary to know their water sorption properties, because physical, chemical and biological changes which occur during their storage depend on water-solid interactions. The objectives of this w...
