High demand for asphalt binders in road construction verifies the need of finding alternative materials through pavement recycling. This paper investigated impact different rejuvenators on performance an aged binder. Virgin Olive oil, virgin cooking waste engine and oil were added to a 30/40 penetration grade binder at fixed content 4% all types. The wet method was used blend physical, rheologi...

The exponential increase of waste derived from different human activities points out the importance their reuse in order to create materials with specific properties that can be used for applications. In this work, it was showed how typical Mediterranean organic liquid waste, namely olive mill wastewater (OMWW), obtained during oil production, turned into an efficient reactive agent production ...

in order to study adaptation ability of 15 commercial olive cultivars, this experiment was carried out using a randomized complete block design with three replication during the period from 2007 to 2009 in dry-warm climate of sar-pol-e-zehab dallaho olive station of kermanshah province. in this experiment, vegetative and reproductive traits were measured according to i.o.o.c. descriptors. flora...

Background: Olive pomace, as the main by-product of the olive oil industry, is recently recycled as fermentation substrate for enzyme production.Objectives: Actinobacteria isolates were separated from an Algerian soil under olive pomace cultivation and were evaluated for their lignocellulolytic enzymes production.Materials and Methods: Isolates of Actinobacteria were separated from ...

Apulia (Southern Italy) is the leading Italian region for the production of olive oil (115 × 106 kg of oil/year), and the olive oil chain is really important from a business point of view. Currently, the extraction of olive oil is essentially performed by using a mechanical pressing process (traditional olive oil mills), or by the centrifugation process (modern olive oil mills). The aim of this...

UNLABELLED Elevated oxidative and nitrosative stress both impair the integrity and functioning of brain tissue, especially in aging. As long-term intake of plant foods rich in antioxidant phenolics, such as extra virgin olive oil, positively modulates surrogate markers of many human pathological alterations, the interest in cheap and abundant sources of such phenolics is rapidly growing. Olive ...
