In the present study, a laboratory scale corn-cob based biofilter inoculated with pseudomonas fluorescents (mtcc 9768) was used for investigating the degradation of ethylbenzene and m-xylene for a period of 60 days in two phases. for ethylbenzene maximum removal efficiency (re) was 72% at an inlet concentration of 4.26 gm -3 and for m-xylene re was 76% at an inlet concentration of 6.39 g m -3 a...

Formulations of alginate-encapsulated mycelia are used to generate spores for mycoherhicidal application to weed-infested fields and for bulk production of spore-based products. Spore yield of such formulations is a primary determinant of product efficacy. A number of parameters of the alginate process were studied to develop an optimal alginate formulation for field application of Alternaria c...

The integrated cultivation of corn with forages leads to competition for production factors such as water, light and nutrients however, currently, it is being practiced improve the chemical, physical biological characteristics soil, in addition increasing grain straw next crop. In this sense, objective work was evaluate agronomic performance silage intercropped species Urochloa ruziziensis. exp...

The research was carried out about the effect of adding corn cob ash on mortar's physical and mechanical properties. Mortar molded with three compositions, i.e., portland cement, ash, husk fiber. Corn burned at a temperature 700 for 2 hours. fiber mechanically sliced up to 0.8 mm in size. Then, mortar molding maintenance were processed 28 days. mortars that had reached age days tested according...

Clean, more responsible energy production in gas turbine power plants is a challenge. Interestingly, various alternative sources could be found agricultural locations with great potential of being transformed from waste to energy. Corn cob gasification successfully implemented turbines through co-firing natural gas. Concurrently, biogas also employed for such purpose. The technology as Vojvodin...

Lignocellulosic biomass is the most plentiful of all naturally occurring organic compounds. Conversion cellulosic polymers into useful products by fermentation involves two stages: firstly conversion cellulose to glucose cellulase, and secondly microbial resulting products. The experiments were conducted obtain xylanase enzyme from Aspergillus niger strain AUMC 14230 using corn cob (1%) as main...
