the present study was carried out to determine the nutritive value of white varieties of grape pomace (gp) and raisin vitis leaves (rvl), using nylon bags and gas production techniques. tow fistulated whether with average body weight of 45±2 kg were used. the amount of gas produced was measured at 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48 and 72 h times and degradation was measured using nylon bags up to ...

hexachlorocyclohexane, an organochlorine insecticide has been used in agriculture and public health programmes since a very long time. it is very resistant to degradation and thus accumulates in the environment for long time. a microbial consortium was developed in our laboratory which could degrade hexachlorocyclohexane very efficiently in water. a study was carried out to understand the biode...

in this study, degradation of p-chlorophenol (p-cp) was evaluated using persulfate (ps) activated zerovalent iron (zvi) based ultraviolet (uv) in a bench scale photoreactor. the effect of operational parameters such as solution ph (3, 7, and 11), reaction time (0-60 minutes), zvi dosage (0.15, 1.25, 0.5, 1, and 1.5 mm), ps concentration (0.5, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, and 4 mm), and initial p-cp concentr...

the unccd has been ratified by over 190 countries. it is the attempt by nations, both rich and poor to control the scourge of desertification. the definition of which is “land degradation in arid, semiarid, and dry subhumid areas resulting from various factors, including climatic variations and human activities. it is now widely accepted that desertification is not the relentless advance of des...

background: there are many varieties of compounds in chemical and petrochemical wastewater. one of the important members of the chlorophenols (cps) family is ρ-chlorophenol. this pollutant is introduced into the environment through various human activities such as waste incineration, uncontrolled use of wood preservatives, pesticides, fungicides and herbicides, as well as via bleaching the pulp...
