Nitrate contamination in ground and surface water has become an increasingly serious problem in the world. As an alternative biological denitrification process, sulfur-limestone autotrophic denitrification processes (SLAD) can be used for nitrate removal in water or wastewater that contains a limited amount of organic carbon sources. This paper summarizes applications of SLAD processes for nitr...

Tests of the Saarberg-Halter Umwelttechnik GmbH (S-H-U) flue gas desulfurization (FGD) process were performed November 12-20, 1998. while burning the design coal at the NYSEG Milliken Station Unit No. 1. The objectives of the test program using the design coal were to demonstrate the effect of cocurrent and countercurrent liquid-to-gas ratio on SO, removal and scrubber operability. Measurements...

considering high alkalinity of iranian soils and lack of availability of some nutrients in those conditions, sulfur consumption is one approach to increase the availability of insoluble nutrients especially in calcareous and alkaline soils. effectiveness of sulfur depends on activity of sulfur oxidizing bacteria especially thiobacillus genus (t). in order to study the qualitative yield and morp...

soil and water salinity damage and decrease canola yield. however, plant yield should be increased using effective methods. this study aimed at investigating the effect of sulfure application fertilizers on canola yield. to this end, the experiment was conducted in split plot arrangement based on randomized complete blocks design with three replications at shavoor research station in south west...

Biodesulfurization of coal has been carried out in batch culture of single strain and mixed culture of sulfur oxidizing bacteria. The pure cultures of Thiobacillus thiooxidans and Thiobacillus ferrooxidans utilized inorganic sulfur content of Malaysian coal. The chemolithotroph bacteria were able to grow on coal and metabolize the coal's sulfur content. The batch cultures of coal with 3-5 perce...

sulfur dioxide has two important sources in the atmosphere and this is why most of scientists believe in a geographic split in the globe. power plants, major emitter of so2, are located in north hemisphere such as in russia, china, canada and the usa. in south hemisphere, phytoplankton produces a massive amount of dimethyl sulfide (dms) and dimethyl disulfide (dmds). then these types of reduced...

The performance of MSU-S and its forms modified with phosphotungstic acid (HPW) and nickel (Ni) for the desulfurization and denitrogenation of model diesel fuel were studied. According to the results of the characteristic tests (N2 adsorption-desorption, XRD, SEM, and NH3-TPD), heteropoly acid incorporation causes higher acidity along with a negligible loss of structural a...

introduction nowadays oilseed crops are considered as the second most important sources of energy in the diet. in this regard, cultivation of oilseed crops such as safflower (carthamus tinctorius l.) is important due to quality of oil seed and medicinal properties. different planting dates leads to adaptation of vegetative and reproductive growth of plant to temperature, day-length and various ...

background : we intend to study the inhibitory effect of sulfur compound in ramsar hot spring mineral on tumor-genesis ability of high natural background radiation. objective : the radioprotective effect of sulfur compounds was previously shown on radiation-induced chromosomal aberration, micronuclei in mouse bone marrow cells and human peripheral lymphocyte. ramsar is known for having the high...

objective : iud is a highly effective, safe, private, long-acting, and rapidly reversible method of contraception with few side effects. the aim of this study was to assess the continuation rate and cause of iud discontinuation in isfahan, iran. materials and methods: this historical cohort study wascarried out on 12 randomly selected health centers of isfahan province in 2007. 244 literate mar...
