Research on the use of agricultural waste to manufacture highly hygroscopic materials for agricultural applications

Lightweight Materials Obtained by Utilization of Agricultural Waste

Lightweight ceramic materials in the form of bricks and blocks are widely used in modern construction. They may be obtained by adding of rice husk, rye straw, etc, as porous forming materials. Rice husk is a major by-product of the rice milling industry. Its utilization as a valuable product has always been a problem. Various technologies for utilization of rice husk through biological and ther...

Hydrothermolysis of Agricultural Waste

The consumption of petroleum products has been significantly increasing year by year. Petroleum offers a tremendous convenience for our life, and our daily life would be quite different without it. However, the depletion of petroleum is creeping under our foot. Lignocellulosic biomass has unlimited potential because it is possible to substitute for petroleum as energy and chemical sources. Rece...

Use of Agricultural Waste for Removal of Cr(VI) from Aqueous Solution

Use of Date Syrup as Agricultural Waste for Xanthan Production by Xanthomonas campestris

Xanthomonas campestris was used for producing xanthan gum using date syrup, prepared from low quality dates, as a substrate. Fermentation was carried out with date syrup and sucrose syrup at 28 ˚C and pH 6.8 in a rotary benmarin shaker (240 rpm). The effect of fermentation period (24, 48, 72, 96 and 120 h) on xanthan gum production was studied. The results showed that EPS concentration increase...
