The proper management of solid waste is the need of the time. The solid waste consists of various components, some of them are biodegradable where as other are non biodegradable. The waste from various biodegradable sources could be utilized as a feed material for the gas production. The objective of this study is food waste management through biogas production. Various parameters were studied ...

The construction and characterization of a flow-through polarographic detector for catalyzing the electroreduction of N-nitrosodiethanolamine (NDELA), is discussed. The flow-through cell is equipped with a gold wire electrode (a thin mercury film deposited on a gold substance). The response is evaluated with respect to substance diameter, length, concentration of modifying film, operating poten...

S — Incompatible Trace Elements in SNCs and Li Isotopes Systematics in a Shergottite J. A. Barrat, P. Beck, M. Chaussidon, Ph. Gillet, A. Jambon, C. Göpel, and V. Sautter Exploring Trace Element and Isotopic Mixing Relationships in the Martian Meteorite Suite

a good understanding of adsorption equilibrium and thermodynamics is required to design and operate an adsorption process. this study was conducted to assess the adsorption percentage of pb2+ ions as a function of contact time, solution ph and temperatures, and adsorbent dosage through a series of batch experiments. the methods including zeta potentials, specific surface area measurements and t...

Use of earthworm species to biodegrade various substrates (industrial wastes, agricultural residues, etc.) for composting has proven to be successful after initial stabilization of vermi beds. This study presents optimization of vermi beds (soil + cowdung) for culturing of earthworms (Eisenia fetida, Eudrilus eugeniae, and Megascolex megascolex.). Optimum proportion of soil + cowdung (1:3) for ...
