The effect of diatomaceous earth on gasification olive pomace and stone was studied by thermogravimetric analysis with mass spectrometry (TGA-MS). Additionally, gas emissions, the H2/CO ratio, reactivity were evaluated. First, a preliminary study particle size waste performed to select most appropriate from technical industrial point view. With pomace, larger size, lower reactivity. However, st...

Olive stones (OS) constitute a waste lignocellulosic material produced by the olive oil industry in great amounts, that currently is only used as low-value energy source for industrial or domestic boilers. Having view its full valorization, this work proposes and validates an integrated strategy aiming to obtain three different streams of sugars / lignin-derived compounds. Dilute acid hydrolysi...

During the third millennium BCE, Levant experienced an increase in social complexity, visible emergence of urban forms and centralised institutions. Specialised agricultural production, particularly olives, has long been considered a key factor this transformation. This paper uses charcoal seed analysis remains from Early Bronze Age II-III sites Tell Fadous-Kfarabida Lebanon Khirbet-ez Zeraqon ...

Monumental olive trees, with their longevity and remarkable size, represent an important information source for the comprehension of territory where they grow human societies that have kept them through time. Across centuries, trees are only cultivated plants tell story Mediterranean landscapes. The same as stone monuments, these green monuments a real natural cultural heritage. aim this paper ...

A low cost-biomass, olive stone, was used as a carbon precursor to synthesize activated biochar. Experiments were carried by single step activation for two agents (steam and CO2) using bench scale high-pressure thermobalance. Temperature, pressure, flow rate holding time optimized according the highest adsorption capacity of biochar obtained. In this respect, conditions established at 900 °C 30...

One drawback of biomass hydrothermal treatment (HTC) is the need a water supply, which especially important in case lignocellulosic biomass. This study has investigated synergy resulting from co-HTC two residual materials that significantly differ their physico-chemical compositions: (a) olive stone, OS, hard and high-quality biomass, with low N content, whose potential to give high heating val...

in order to study of genetic diversity and similarity among four native olive cultivars including ‘mari’, ‘zard’, ‘shengeh’ and ‘rowghani’, these cultivars were evaluated in five regions including ali abad, gilvan, tarom, manjil and jamal abad at 2012-2013. there was a significant difference among studied individuals. the correlation coefficient analysis among studied traits showed that there w...

introduction & objective: after urinary tract infection and prostatic disorders , the urine stones are the third common genitourinary diseases. demographic, environmental and genetic factors affect urine stone formation. the aim of our study is to survey epidemiologic factors in patients with urinary stones referring to educational hospitals of hamadan during 2010-2013.      materials & methods...

The role of fruit bearing percentage in olive fruit fly infestation is investigated through a simulation model where the spatial law of dispersion distances were modeled via an appropriate exponential law. The dispersal of olive fruit flies was simulated for two distinct cases, an olive grove with no olive fruits and an olive grove with 100% olive fruit bearing. Results showed that when no oliv...
