In this study the effects of different levels of industrial wastes on growth traits and metal accumulation in aerial portions were determined for Populusxeuramericana clone I-214. The experiment started in April 2003. Scions of Populusxeuramericana clone I-214, were grown outdoor near Pisa (Italy), in lisimeters filled with soil naturally present in the land around the experimental site, were d...

In this study, sintered glass-ceramics made up of jarosite (a hazardous industrial waste) have been obtained by sintering high-iron-content glasses. Thermal gravimetry and differential thermal analysis, carried out in different atmospheres, have been utilized to explain the phase formations in the volume and iron oxidation on the surface of the glass particles. Low-angle XRD technique has been ...

In this assessment, hybrid composites were prepared from the combination of industrial waste, as marble waste powder (MWP) with conventional fillers, carbon black (CB) as well as silica as reinforcing material, incorporated with natural rubber (NR). The properties studied were curing, mechanical and swelling behavior. Assimilation of CB as well as silica into MWP containing NR compound responde...

Agro-industrial wastes are mainly composed of complex polysaccharides that might serve as nutrients for microbial growth and production of enzymes. The aim of this work was to study polygalacturonase (PG) production by Aspergillus niveus cultured on liquid or solid media supplemented with agro-industrial wastes. Submerged fermentation (SbmF) was tested using Czapeck media supplemented with 28 d...

Pullulans produced from the Aureobasidium pullulans fermentation of various agro-industrial wastes were characterised in terms of carbohydrate analysis. heterogeneity and molecular weights. Grape skin pulp extract (GSPE), starch waste (SW), olive oil waste effluents (OW) and molasses (M) were used as substrates for the production of pullulan. A glucose based defined medium (D) was used for comp...

AIMS To investigate the association between occurrence of soft tissue sarcomas (STS) in Mantua and residence near an incinerator of industrial wastes. METHODS Cases were subjects with histologically confirmed primary malignant STS diagnosed 1989-98 in the population resident in Mantua and in the three neighbouring municipalities. Controls were randomly extracted from population registries, ma...

This paper is an attempt to estimate the quantity of Industrial solid waste (ISW) that can be generated in the Durg-Bhilai Twin city (DBTC), C.G, India from 2010 to 2026. The prediction of Industrial solid waste generation plays an important role in solid waste management. Yet achieving the anticipated prediction accuracy with regard to the generation trends facing many fast growing regions is ...
