Introduction: Humic acid (HA) is one the original disinfection byproducts processors in water treatment. So, removing it is necessary before water chlorination. In the present study, photodegredation of humic acid in water using Ag/ZnO nano particle under UVc irradiation in batch system was investigated. Material and Methods: Photocatalytic study was carried out to evaluate the effect of UVc (...

Objective:  In addition to the role of organic matter in plant nutrition, this material improves soil quality, physical structure, ventilation and water supply, and ease of penetration and expansion is rooted deep in the soil surface. Effects of organic matter due to climatic factors, soil characteristics may vary from region to region, resulting in organic materials management must be given to...

Chitosan is prepared by the deacetylation of chitin, the second-most abundant biopolymer in nature, and has applicability in the removal of dyes, heavy metals and radioactive waste for pollution control. In weight-reduction remedies, chitosan is used to form hydrogels with lipids and to depress the intestinal absorption of lipids. In this study, an experimental method was implemented to simulat...

Contaminants in water are classified into different types based on their physical and chemical properties. Thus, more than one type of sorbents may be needed for their removal. In this article, a combination of vermiculite with palygorskite was studied for their simultaneous removal of ammonium and humic acid from simulated groundwater. Batch results showed that the Langmuir model described amm...

the use of such biostimulants as humic materials has recently become common in turf management operations. these products have been used to help the establishment of turfgrass and to enhance the turf stress tolerance capacity. this experiment was aimed at studying the effect of humic acid on some growth factors in turf grass. it was carried out in a factorial randomized complete block design (r...

mass generation of bagasse wastes from every 100 kg of sago starch pith being processed are likely to pollute the water when they are discarded into rivers. the increase of livestock production increases manure production and improper management of these manures will pollute the soil and environment, and causing diseases outbreak. co-composting of sago bagasse and chicken manure could serve as ...
