A field experiment was conducted to know the response of crops combined application co compost and lignite fly ash. Field experiments were in experimental farm (rice maize) farmers holding (groundnut brinjal) study certain composts ash grown clay loam sandy soil, respectively. The treatment consisted Dairy Farm Waste + Crop Residues, Pressmud+ Residues LFA @5 t ha-1, @10 @15 Pressmud crop resid...

Physico-chemical and surface characterization of activated carbon prepared from groundnut shell, an abundantly available carbonaceous solid waste from oil processing mills in India, by chemical activation were carried out. The effect of various activation conditions viz. time, temperature and ZnCl2 / char ratio on the % yield of product and adsorption efficiency in terms of iodine number was st...

The effects of light and quantity of spawn on the sporophore and sclerotial yields of Pleurotus tuber-regium, cultivated on cotton wastes, rice straw, cocoyam peel, comcob, groundnut shell and sawdusts of Mansonia altissima, Khaya ivorensis and Boscia angustifolia were observed. The organism had sporophore and sclerotial yield values of 36.8 and 27.6 g kg(-1) waste, respectively, in cotton wast...

Batch-type experiments were used to study competitive As(V) and P sorption on various soils and sorbent materials. The materials assayed were a forest soil, a vineyard soil, pyritic material, granitic material, coarsely and finely ground mussel shell, calcinated mussel shell ash, pine sawdust and slate processing fines. Competition between As(V) and P was pronounced in the case of both soils, g...

This research considered the viability of groundnut shell ash (GSA) on lime-stabilized lateritic soil for highway structural works. Three samples soil, named A, B, and C, were gathered from Idita-Mokuro, NTA-Mokuro, ETF burrow pits, respectively, in Ile-Ife, Osun State, Nigeria. Preliminary tests completed their natural states when stabilized with optimum lime. Engineering properties performed ...

The decolorization of reactive yellow 145 from wastewater in batch mode operation using groundnut shell-based biochar was studied the present research. adsorption process by investigating effects different variables such as temperature, initial dye concentration, pH, and dosage. results showed that dosage had a substantial impact on absorption potential. equilibrium determined to be 1 g/L, with...

Groundnut is susceptible to a range of diseases and pests owing to its narrow genetic base. Closely related wild relatives of groundnut are diploid, and crossability between diploid wild relatives and tetraploid cultivated groundnut is difficult. Amphidiploid and autotetraploid groundnuts, which are tetraploids (also called synthetic groundnut), were developed at ICRISAT. Crossability between c...

Abstract The increase in the prices and demand for cooking fuel has necessitated deployment of an alternative (biomass wastes), which is efficient relatively inexpensive. Biomass wastes are abundant underutilized energy purposes Nigeria. conversion these into briquettes can help to mitigate over-dependency wood deforestation. In this study, biomass such as rice husks (RH), banana peels (BP), co...

Increases in ore mining, metal smelting activities, and several other industrial practices in recent times have brought about contamination of soils at higher levels; these have prompted concerns on the consequent effects on the local and global ecosystem. Various remediation technologies have often been sought to meet the challenges. This study therefore seeks to assess the potential of cashew...
