this paper deals with the suitability of agricultural and municipal organic wastes as growing media components for ornamental plants. nine growing media prepared by mixing the main components of peat (p), hazelnut husk (h) and maize straw (m) with the fertilizer sources of municipal solid waste compost (c), bio-solid (b) and poultry manure (pm) were compared against soil-based (c1) and peat-bas...

The extract of Ligustrum lucidum Ait. seeds, as green and eco-friendly corrosion inhibitors, have been investigated on the corrosion inhibition of Q235A steel in 1M hydrochloric acid solution at 60°C by weight loss and potentiodynamic polarisation techniques. The inhibition efficiency of the extracts varies with extract concentration from 10 mg/L to 1000 mg/L and the highest one reaches to 95.0...
