Biochar was produced from the sawdust of wood forest species Cedrella fissilis and later used as an adsorbent to remove atrazine herbicide aqueous media. showed high thermal stability, amorphous structure, a highly irregular surface, mainly composed carbon-containing bonds. The isothermal curves confirmed that increase in temperature favored adsorption herbicide. Langmuir model best suited expe...

abstract to study the effects of four types of mulches including wood chips, municipal compost, sawdust and gravel in three different thicknesses on growth of platanus orientalis during two years, an experiment was conducted in mashhad area with semi-arid climate. the research was conducted as split plot based on a completely randomized block design with four replications. treatments included c...

Total amount of uranium resource in seawater is one thousand times of that in terrestrial ores. A polymeric adsorbent being capable of collecting uranium in seawater was developed in early 1980s, since uranium is inevitable resource to operate atomic power plants. This adsorbent fabric was synthesized by radiation-induced graft polymerization which could impart a desired functional group into f...

The ability of a particular banana fibre in removing reactive dyes from textile wastewater was studied in the present work. Locally available ground seeded banana fibre of ≤ 212 μ was used as adsorbent. Initially the adsorbent was tested on standard Novacron Blue FN-R reactive dye solutions and then it was also applied to raw textile wastewater. The adsorbent was found very effective to remove ...

The pollution of natural waters with aromatic amines originating from wastewaters of many industries is of serious concern due to its negative impact on environment and living organisms. In this research work, Cu–impregnated chitosan/alumina nanocomposite was prepared and employed as an adsorbent for removal of aromatic amines from water. The results showed that the adsorption capacity of the p...

Pa vias, M., Patlokova, Vlasta: Occurrence of Mycobacteria in Sawdust, Straw, Hay and Their Epizootiological Significance. Acta vet. Bmo, 54, 1985: 85-90. The occurrence of mycobacteria in sawdust and straw used as bedding material in cattle and pig herds was investigated using 147 sawdust and straw samples from 47 farms. The most important epizootiological finding was the demonstration of nine...

polypyrrole (ppy/cl) and polyaniline (pani/cl) synthesized chemically onto sawdust (sd)was used for removal of thiocyanate (scn-) ions from aqueous solutions. the effect of someimportant parameters such as ph, initial concentration, sorbent dosage, and contact time onuptake of scn- was investigated. ppy/sd was found to be much more effective sorbent thanpani/sd for uptake scn- from aqueous solu...

The waste of sawdust and wood chips in the processing industry Jayapura City has not been utilized properly maximally, but only as firewood. In fact, this a large enough potential to be developed raw material for making charcoal briquettes. This research method analyzed calorific value 5 (five) treatments using Completely Randomized Design, repetitions so that total treatment was 25 (twenty fiv...

Lignocellulosic residues were tested as artificial log to mushroom production of Lentinula edodes. Three isolates of L. edodes were grown in substrates based on corn bog, and sawdust or bark of eucalypt, enriched with rice bran 20%. The biological efficiency (BE) were higher when corn borg and sawdust was used and the isolate UFV 73 was that presented well shaped mushrooms and higher productivi...
