In this work, different treatment methods for wastewater from textile washing operations in the Palestinian territories were studied. The goal of the treatment process was to enable the textile industry to reuse the wastewater in textile washing through simple, efficient, and cost-effective methodologies. Actual textile wastewater samples from local textile factories were used and were found to...

The innate immune system of insects responds to wounding and pathogens by mobilizing multiple pathways that provide both systemic and localized protection. Key localized responses in hemolymph include melanization, coagulation, and hemocyte encapsulation, which synergistically seal wounds and envelop and destroy pathogens. To be effective, these pathways require a targeted deposition of their c...

The objective of this research was to compare the effect of 2 fungal proteases, one that is already commercially established as a milk-clotting agent and another produced at the laboratory scale, on Prato cheese composition, protein and fat recovery, yield, and sensory characteristics. Cheeses were produced according to the traditional protocol, using protease from the fungus Thermomucor indica...

This experiment was conducted to explore the effect of various types coagulants on chemical and microbiological quality cheese made from fresh milk. Fresh manufactured using four different coagulants; microbial rennet (0.7%), lactic acid (1.5%), papaya latex (5 drops in 100 mL water) calf (100 g abomasum soaked overnight 1000 mixture water milk 3:1 ratio then filtrate) under laboratory conditio...

Natural organic matter (NOM) seriously challenges the drinking water supply. It typically exists as complex substances generated in natural ecosystem part of hydrologic, biological, and geological cycles. The significant variation, composition, abundance NOM or wastewater necessitate implementation robust adaptive technologies, particularly addressing even more stringent standards supply treate...

The treatment of effluents requires new methodologies for the tailings. One option is use natural coagulants. Chitosan has amino groups in polymeric chains that allow it to act as a cationic polyelectrolyte and present high density charges, which are easily adsorbed on negatively charged surfaces, case most colloidal impurities water. Thus, this work used chitosan coagulation/flocculation proce...
