Given the need for decent housing and taking into consideration environment, as well search sustainable materials, in recent years researchers have begun to focus on local biodegradable ecological materials. It should be noted that use of building materials evolves step with population growth. However, their production must a clear positive impact environment offer viable solutions reducing ene...

Nowadays, the sorption-oriented approach is on agenda in remediation practices of lands contaminated with heavy metals. The current growing quantity research accounts for different sorbents. However, there still a lack studies utilizing economic criteria. Therefore, to ensure wide application opportunities, one necessary requirements their efficiency use. By these criteria, this manuscript rese...

OBJECTIVE To study the preparation of seeding type immobilized microorganisms and their degradation characteristics on di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP). METHODS Diatomite, clinoptilolite, silk zeolite, and coal fly ash were chosen as reserved materials and modified. Their adsorption capacity and intensity in the bacteria were determined and the best carrier was picked out. The seeding type immobili...

The article presents the findings on use of foliar treatment with suspensions sapropel, vermicompost, diatomite conventional grinding and in ultrafine form. Fertilizers, ground to smallest particles deionized water under action ultrasound, have a high stimulating effect crop shown better results compared milled fertilizers. yield spring barley Prairia variety non-foliar these fertilizers contri...

Diatomite needs to go through the flux-calcination process in order increase its functionality some specific applications such as filter aids. In this study, effects of thenardite, which was used for first time a flux calcination diatomite, and widely soda ash on industrially important physico-chemical properties diatomite were investigated. Samples taken from two deposits Aegean region Turkey ...

Studies on the kinetics of adsorption methylene blue dye (MB) from an aqueous solution a DDT photocatalyst (nanoscale titanium dioxide in anatase phase deposited diatomite) and its components – diatomite D TiO2 are presented. The effect initial concentration pH MB process rate is investigated. kinetic data were processed using two simplified models pseudo-first pseudo-second order. A model intr...

the catalytic oxidation of toluene over copper oxide supported on natural diatomite was investigated. the catalyst was prepared by the wet impregnation method and characterized by using the brunauer emmett teller (bet), field emission scanning electron microscopy (fesem), x-ray diffraction (xrd), x-ray fluorescence (xrf) and temperature-programmed reduction (tpr) analysis. the highest catalytic ...

A quick, simple and improved DNA extraction method from polysaccharide rich leaves of Boswellia serrata Roxb. has been developed. Different methods involving use of CTAB and SDS with or without modification were used. A CTAB based extraction method which uses diatomite to remove polysaccharides, such as, gums and resin, proved to be the best. This method allowed recovery of good quality DNA in ...
