conclusions according to the high efficiency of cadmium elimination by tea waste, this approach is applicable as an efficient and affordable trend to remove cadmium from aqueous solution without any chemical or physical pre-treatment. background heavy metals pollution is a serious threat to environment and human health. therefore, it is vital to find an effective method to remove heavy metals f...

Tea processing includes several stages and in three of them namely drying, fiber-mat and screening some of the product is wasted. In this study, 25 percent of the tea processing plants in Iran were selected. Three samples were taken from each plant and analyzed for chemical composition and in vitro and in vivo digestibility and voluntary feed intake. Results showed that crude ...

Heavy metals released by a number of industrial processes are major pollutants in marine, ground, industrial and even treated waste waters. Biosorption is a process that utilizes biological materials as adsorbents and several researchers have studied this method as an alternative technique to conventional methods for heavy metal removal from wastewaters. In this study, the efficiency of tea was...

This study presents the preparation of polypropylene composites filled with mixtures of household waste of mate-tea and wood particles to increase the economic value chain of mate-tea, especially in Latin America. Filler mixtures in proportions ranging from 0 to 60% depending on the type of particle were used. The polypropylene matrix was fixed at 40% and roughness surface and color evaluation ...

in this work, the adsorption of the anionic dye, congo red (cr), from aqueous solution by using tea waste (tw) has been carried out at 30 °c. the equilibrium sorption isotherms and kinetics were investigated. the equilibrium adsorption was studied by the langmuir and freundlich models of adsorption. the experimental results manifested that the langmuir isotherm was the best model for the adsorp...

Adsorption of violet B azo dye from aqueous solutions was studied by different cellulose agricultural waste materials (almond shell (AS), pistachio shell (PS), walnut shell (WS), Tea waste (TW) and orange peel (OP)). Cellulose agriculturalwaste sorbents characterized by FTIR and SEM methods. The effects of different parameters such as contact time, pH, adsorbent dosage and initial dye concentra...

in this study, the effects of different types of hand plucking were studied on green leaf yield and black tea quality. bud and a leaf, bud and two leaves, bud and three leaves and bud and four leaves were the types of hand plucking. plucking was down on chine’s hybrid tea and clone 100 in fuman tea research station. shoots were plucked in flashing period regularly during three years. green leaf...

Background: The presence of lead in natural waters has become an important issue around the world. Lead has been identified as a highly toxic metal that can cause severe environmental and public health problems and its decontamination is of utmost importance. The aim of this work was to evaluate the adsorption of lead (Pb(II)) on waste tea leaves as a cheap purification method. Methods: In thi...
