this study was carried out to evaluate the effects of red onion (allium cepa l.) juice and green tea (camellia sinenses) extract on lipid oxidation and sensory characteristics of refrigerated (4ºc) sturgeon fillets (acipenser persicus). fresh fillets were tumbled in 1%, 2.5%, and 5% (v/v) aqueous solutions of onion juice (oj) and tea extract (te), and then stored for up to 8 days at 4°c in a re...

soil erosion is one of the most important forms of land degradation that threatens continued and sustained agricultural production in ghana. the most severely affected areas are the three northern regions especially upper east region, where large tracts of land have been destroyed by water erosion leading to soil depth reduction and decline in soil fertility. this study was carried out in talen...

land degradation is a major danger which restricting different areas of iran. systematic description of the environmentfor detection of environmental changes and the human-related causes and responses is essential in land cover changestudy. use of land cover data allow detection of where certain changes occur, what type of change, as well as how theland is changing. existing systems for classif...

This study was conducted to investigate the use of cubic LaMnO3 nano-perovskite as a green catalyst for the degradation of an aqueous solution of methyl orange under different conditions. Nanoscale cubic lanthanum manganite with the particle size of ~20 nm was successfully synthesized via citrate sol-gel method. The sample was characterized using the FT-IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy, XRD, SEM, and...

one of the indicators of management and sustainability control of forest resources is the definition deforestation and degradation types. these factors hazard quantitative and qualitative of the iranian forests. in this study with integrated approach, different forms of forest degradation identified in the forest areas with a reviews of library resources and then investigation the degree of sta...

Background & Aims of the Study: In this study, 4-(2-pyridylazo) resorcinol (PAR) as model azo dye was used. In spectroscopic measurements and studies of PAR reagent as a ligand are used to formation a complex with toxic metals. So, removal and degradation these compounds of wastewaters are necessary. The aim of this study is the degradation of PAR from aqueous solutions in circulating fludized ...

the photocatalytic process using semiconductors with a nanostructure is one of the technologies usedfor the destructive oxidation of organic compounds such as surfactants. in this paper, thephotocatalytic degradation of cetyl pyridinium chloride (cpc), was investigated in aqueous phaseusing various semiconductors such as titanium dioxide (ti02), zinc oxide (zno), stannic oxide(sn02). the degrad...

In this study, the degradation potential of five polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by aerobic mixed bacterial cultures was investigated. Microorganisms were isolated from hydrocarbon contaminated soils of Shadegan wetland located in southwest of Iran. The degradation experiments were conducted in liquid cultures. PAH or PAHs concentration was 100 mg/L at the beginning of degradation e...

in this work, thermal degradation behavior of a fuel-rich energetic mixture containing epoxy binder was studied by thrmogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry under dynamic nitrogen atmosphere at different heating rates. variation of the thermal degradation activation energy of the mixture was evaluated by differential and integral isoconversional methods via akts software p...

high strength fresh leachates generated at a new disposal trench, compost plant and partially stabilized leachate of an older trench were characterized in terms of anaerobic degradation at laboratory batch scale at 35oc. fresh leachate had extremely high cod of 66,710 – 89,501 mg/l along with low ph of 4.1-5.9 in contrast to older and therefore partially stabilized leachate with a cod of about ...
