In this research, an experimental study to evaluate nutrient removal from synthetic wastewater by a lab-scale moving bed biofilm process was investigated. Also, kinetic analysis of the process with regard to phosphorus and nitrogen removal was studied with different mathematical models. For nutrient removal, the moving bed biofilm process was applied in series with anaerobic, anoxic and aerobic...

a factorial experiment based on a randomized complete block design with three replications was carried out in order to study the effects of tuber size, nitrogen fertilizer and harvest date on yield and yield components of potato. this experiment was conducted in a grower’s farm in uraki village located in chabahar city, in 2011. in this experiment, the treatments were two levels of tuber size (...

In the present research the growth and metabolism of cyanobacterium Fischerella sp. FS18, isolated from rice fields of Gillan Province (Iran), were evaluated in different nitrogen sources. This strain is a good candidate as biological fertilizer due to high efficiency to N2 fixation. In this way, cells in logarithmic phase of stock were treated with different nitrogen sources (N-free, 1 & 2 mM ...

Soil water, salinity and nitrogen content are three major factors affecting crop production in arid and semi-arid areas. This study was performed in two years of 2009 and 2010 in a semi-arid area in order to investigate the effects of irrigation water quantity (as main plot), quality (saline water, as sub-plot), nitrogen fertilizer (as sub-sub plot) and their interactions on growth and yiel...

The past few decades have seen a massive increase in coastal eutrophication globally, leading to widespread hypoxia and anoxia, habitat degradation, alteration of food-web structure, loss of biodiversity, and increased frequency, spatial extent, and duration of harmful algal blooms. Much of this eutrophication is due to increased inputs of nitrogen to coastal oceans. Before the advent of the in...
