Understanding P sorption from animal manures is essential to formulate best management practices with regard to land application of manure from the standpoint of crop production and environmental quality. Little research has focused on the construction of P sorption isotherms where the P source is manure. The objectives of this study were to: (i) develop a procedure to characterize how inorgani...

AND CONCLUSIONS Chemical Mechanical Planarization (CMP) must continuously improve to meet the stringent requirements of next generation IC device manufacturing. Precision flow control of CMP slurry is critical to achieving a repeatable planarization process, minimizing slurry waste, and reducing cost-of-ownership (CoO). Monitoring and controlling slurry large particle concentration through filt...

Because of intensive animal farming, the problem of animal wastes disposal has become very acute in the Reunion Island, namely for liquid wastes such as pig slurry. In this paper we address the problem of determining efficient supply policies of a slurry treatment plant collectively managed by individual farmers. For this, we built a simulation model with a continuous part (i.e., slurry stocks ...

Bioslurry phase reactor augmented with ETP microflora was studied for the degradation of pendimethalin contaminated soil. The effect of substrate concentration on the process performance was evaluated in the slurry phase reactor operated in sequence batch mode under anoxic-aerobic-anoxic microenvironment with a total cycle period of 120 h. The performance of augmented slurry phase system was fo...

Cattle slurry was surface-applied to bare soil in two experiments in the period September­ November 1987, while in April-May 1988 two experiments were carried out in which the slur­ ry was mixed with the upper 6 an of the soil with a cultivator immediately after spreading. The 1987 experiments both lasted 18 days, the 1988 experiments 9 days. A micrometcorologi· cal technique, which did not dis...

In order to solve the bleeding problem of self-flowing tailings filling slurry with low concentration, the influences of the dosage of special additive on the bleeding rate were investigated. The improving mechanism of special additive on the bleeding of tailings filling slurry was studied by measuring the bleeding rate and compressive strength of the slurry. Also, microstruture analysis was co...

Intensification of livestock production makes correct estimation of methanogenesis in liquid manure increasingly important for inventories of CH4 emissions. Such inventories currently rely on fixed methane conversion factors as knowledge gaps remain with respect to detailed temperature responses of CH4 emissions from liquid manure. Here, we describe the temperature response of CH4 production in...

The present work is aimed at evaluating the effect of slurry ice as a preliminary treatment prior to frozen storage. For it, specimens of a small pelagic fatty fish species (sardine; Sardina pi...

The influence of dietary nutrient concentration on growth performance, manure composition, and gas emission was studied in pigs in hot environmental conditions. A total of 64 intact males and 64 females [(Landrace × Large White) × Pietrain] weighing 63.1 ± 9.7 kg were divided into 2 dietary treatments: high (HD: 14.39 MJ of DE/kg and 1.11% Lys) and low (LD: 13.97 MJ of DE/kg and 1.01% Lys) in e...

The granite stone is the most widely used in the construction and granite slurry is generated through cutting and polishing of the stone. Granite slurry is waste material consisting of very fine powder and creats disposal and environmental problems in worldwide today. Disposal of granite waste leads to health hazards like respiratory and allergy problems to the people around. It also causes the...
