Corn cob is considered an agricultural bio-waste that can be reused and incorporated in the building industry as a thermal insulation material. However, more research required to obtain detailed analysis what concerns materials' performance using this waste raw material and, consequently, their sustainability profile. In context, study aims evaluate behaviour environmental impact of two differe...

This study investigates the optimal conditions for preparation of corn cob based activated carbon (CCAC) for the removal of Remazol Brilliant Blue R (RBBR) reactive dye from aqueous solution. The CCAC was prepared by using physiochemical activation method which consisted of sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) and CO2 gasification. Central composite design (CCD) was used to determine the effects of the th...

Xylan, a green biopolymer extracted from agro-waste corn cob may be used as a tool to deliver drugs principally to the colon because of their timely retention in the physiological environment of stomach and small intestine and can only be degraded in colon by vast anaerobic microflora such as Bifidobacterium. Present research work relates to incorporate the drug molecule such as 5-aminosalicyli...

Immobilized Candida tropicalis cells in freeze dried calcium alginate beads were used for production of xylitol from lignocellulosic waste like corn cob hydrolysate without any detoxification and sterilization of media. Media components for xylitol fermentation were screened by statistical methods. Urea, KH2PO4 and initial pH were identified as significant variables by Plackett-Burman (PB) desi...

The evaluation of the combinational ability maize I-lines was carried out on basis “the number grains cob”. This parameter is one significant components structure plant productivity and harvest directly dependent grain rows in a cob row. quantitative manifestation this trait significantly influenced by environmental conditions. A negative correlation studied with seed size revealed. Growing con...

In this study, activated carbon was prepared from an abundant Egyptian agricultural waste material (Corn Cob) through microwaves assisted activation. The effect of using two different activating agents (potassium hydroxide and ammonium sulfate), with various ratios impregnation (RI) (0.25, 0.75, 1.25), on the adsorption capacities were investigated. characterized Raman spectroscopy, scanning el...
