background : the sequencing batch reactor (sbr) is one of the most widely used systems in sewage treatment because of the simplicity of the process, flexibility of operation in the removal of nutrients, and the ability to be used in different scales. the aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of the sbr in the removal of organic matter (nitrogen and phosphorus) from synthetic wastewat...

to investigate the appropriate distribution of nitrogen fertilizer application and optimum amount of phosphorus fertilizer to achieve high quality and quantitative yield in edible and seed potato (solanum tuberosum l.) tubers, this experiment was conducted in research farm of the college of agriculture and natural resources, university of tehran in 2012. the experiment was performed a strip spl...

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is one of the major legume crops grown in Pakistan having a considerable importance as a food, feed and fodder but due to imbalanced use of fertilizers its production is low. To find the optimum level of Phosphorus and FYM for chickpea and study their effect on agronomic characteristics an experiment was carried out at the Agricultural Research Farm of NWFP Agricul...

The microscopic defects and their effects on the electrical properties of phosphorus-doped ZnO films epitaxially grown on (0 0 0 1) sapphire and ZnO substrates by pulsed laser deposition are studied. While threading dislocations were observed only in heteroepitaxial films, a high density of partial dislocations associated with interstitial dislocation loops was observed in films grown on both s...

from the last few years, the inclusion of microbial phytase in poultry diets has increased significantly, mainly in response to heightened concerns over phosphorus pollution of the environment and as cheaper means to make phosphorus available to birds from phytate. phytate is the major form of phosphorus, abundantly found in cereal grains, beans and oilseed meals used in poultry diet but the mo...

abstract a large number of studies have shown that direct application of rock phosphate dose do not have enough efficiency to release phosphorus compared to chemical fertilizers. the main purpose of this study was to increase the efficiency of direct application of rock phosphate. incorporation of rock phosphate with sulfur, organic matter and inoculation with sulfur-oxidizing bacteria and phos...

The efficacy of iron(II) sulfide (FeS)-based autotrophic denitrification in simultaneous nitrogen and phosphorus removal from wastewater was studied with batch experiments. It was efficient at a wide pH range of 5-9, and temperature range of 10-40 °C. The concentrations of NH₄⁺-N, Mg²⁺ and HCO₃⁻ in the wastewater should be kept over 7.8, 0.24 and 30 mg L⁻¹ for efficient nitrate (NO₃⁻-N) reducti...

most plants are able to increase soil phosphorus availability by exuding some compounds such as organic acids when they experience phosphorous deficiency. considering this special ability of plants, the main purpose of the present research was to investigate if application of organic acids may increase p availability in soil. therefore, a greenhouse experiment was conducted with five treatments...

the aim of this study was to investigate relationships between soil properties and plant species to determine the most effective factors separating vegetation communities in rineh rangeland. three stratifying variables were selected including slop, aspect and elevation. the study area was partitioned by combining these classes to generate homogenous units. 1m2 quadrates were located at sampling...

In order to make better use of converter dust achieve effective pre-dephosphorization molten iron, the influence addition ratio dedusting ash and oxide scale on dephosphorization iron was compared, so as reveal reasons for decrease rate caused by dust. Through theoretical analysis, XRD, SEM-EDS, Raman infrared spectroscopy, mineral phase structure, polymerization degree phosphorus structure fin...
