The aim of this research was to investigate the environmental impacts of olive fruit production under different orchard size and upon organic and common agro-systems through Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology in Rudbar region, Guilan province, northern Iran. The data were collected using a self-structured questionnaire and face-to-face interview with 305 olive growers in the study region. ...

for leucite using natural minera} potash feldspar as the major raw material, followed by bal) milling. A sintered leucite body with a 99.0% re)atiye density was obtained by heating the leucite powder cylindrical pellet at 12500C for 1 h. The mechanical properties of this dense teucite body were determined. The bending strength, fracture toughness, e)astic modulus and Vickers hardness of the bod...

UNLABELLED Bacteria play important roles in mineral weathering, soil formation, and element cycling. However, little is known about the interaction between silicate minerals and rhizobia. In this study, Rhizobium yantingense H66 (a novel mineral-weathering rhizobium) and Rhizobium etli CFN42 were compared with respect to potash feldspar weathering, mineral surface adsorption, and metabolic acti...

This study investigated the production of biogas from food waste co-digested with potash and cow dung as inoculant. The aim this was to determine amount generated substrate. Experimental research design used it carried out at Uturu, Abia State, Nigeria. 4% 12% concentrations substrate were mixed fed into anaerobic digesters labeled B1 B9 for 90days. Result ultimate analysis showed oxygen (41.33...
