- This study was conducted treating with Milk of Lime to reach different pH levels (T1- Initial pH, T2, T3 and T4 6.5, 7.5 8.5 respectively) determine the optimum pre-liming which could result in best cane juice clarification Sri Lankan sugar industries. The experiment design used RCBD five replicates. ANOVA followed by Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DNMRT) were identify significant mean differe...

It has been suggested that raising soil pH through liming could reduce the impact of whitegrub on crop yield in the treated soil. To test this hypothesis, whitegrub incidence was monitored in a trial designed to examine the effects of various lime treatments on crop yields of varieties N16 and N12. Lime was applied at two rates (5 and 10 t/ha) and in combination with gypsum at 5 t/ha each. Resu...

This study aims to determine the effect of adding lime juice and maltodextrin concentration on characteristics cucumber powder drink (Cucumis sativus L.) using foam mat drying method. The method used in this was a randomized block design (RBD) two factorials consisting with (5%, 15%, 25%) (15%, 20%, 25%). So that there were 9 treatment combinations. Each repeated 3 times, so 27 trials obtained....

In the less developed parts of southern Africa, where agriculture is crucial in daily survival, agricultural lime is often difficult to obtain. This is due to the scarcity of production sites, high transport costs and inadequate support for farmers from government extension services. In Zambia there are upwards of 700,000 small-scale farmers who struggle to farm on acid soils and as a result ha...

Low-iron, manganese-enriched (LIME) olivine grains are found in cometary samples returned by the Stardust mission from comet 81P ⁄Wild 2. Similar grains are found in primitive meteoritic clasts and unequilibrated meteorite matrix. LIME olivine is thermodynamically stable in a vapor of solar composition at high temperature at total pressures of a millibar to a microbar, but enrichment of solar c...

In order to study the application of lime-fly ash loess in permafrost subgrade engineering, uniaxial compressive test, fast direct shearing test and permeability tests were carried out on lime-fly ash loess under different curing ages and freeze-thaw cycles. Uniaxial compressive strength of lime-fly ash loess increases slowly with the curing ages, and can reach 3.5 Mpa after the curing ages of ...

If the anaesthetic circle system is arranged to increase the humidity of fresh anaesthetic gases by placing the carbon dioxide absorbent canister between the fresh gas inlet and the patient, drying of the soda-lime can occur. Very dry soda-lime adsorbs significant quantities of halothane. Using fresh soda-lime, effluent halothane concentration reached 50% of the input concentration in 35s, but ...

The River Yläneenjoki catchment in southwest Finland is an area with a high agricultural nutrient load. We report here on the nutrient removal performance of three on-site lime-sand filters (F1, F2, and F3), established within or on the edge of the buffer zones. The filters contain burnt lime (CaO) or spent lime [CaO, Ca(OH), and CaCO]. Easily soluble lime results in a high pH level (>11) and l...

The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Colorado School of Mines and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, has demonstrated the application of pulsed limestone bed (PLB) treatment of acid mine drainage (AMD) at the Argo tunnel discharge near Idaho Springs, Colorado. Current technology for AMD treatment at the Argo facility is neutralization with lime. However, lime neutralizatio...

Lime treatment of wastewater sludge has been in use for over a century. This paper describes the use of ‘Liquid Lime’ and hydrated lime suspensions as a sludge treatment process for the specific purpose of agricultural recycling. The introduction of ‘Liquid Lime’ treatment has enabled South West Water to achieve full compliance with the Sludge (Use in Agriculture) Regulations at a time when the...
