The objective of this work was to study Cr(VI) sorption/desorption on two by-products from the wood industry: pine sawdust and oak wood ash. The retention/release experiments were carried out using standard batch-type trials. In the sorption-phase experiments, pine sawdust showed 23% sorption when a concentration of 100 mg Cr(VI)ŸL-1 was added, whereas sorption on oak wood ash was 17%. In the d...

the conversion of the cellulose into 5-hmf would experience three steps, cellulose to glycose, glycose to fructose and fructose to 5-hmf. chloride ion can break down the hydrogen bond in cellucose, chromium can catalyze the isomerization of glycose to fructose, and the high temperature is helpful to cyclohydration of fructose to 5-hmf. in this paper, the sawdust has been directly degraded into ...

Effects of sand versus sawdust as a litter bath substrate in furnished cages for laying hens were studied. The study used 112 Hy-Line White (HYW) and 140 Hy-Line Brown (HYB) layers housed in 18 furnished cages with 14 hens in each cage, generating 4 or 5 replicates per combination of genotype and litter substrate. Traits studied were mortality, feather cover, hygiene of hens, pecking wounds, he...

This paper deals with application of polyaniline coated on wood sawdust for removal ofmethylene blue (MB) dye from aqueous solutions. Polyaniline coated onto sawdust (termedas PAn/SD) was prepared via direct chemical polymerization onto sawdust which waspreviously soaked in the monomer (aniline) solution in acidic (HC1) media. Adsorptionexperiments were carried out using batch system. The effec...

abstract to study the effects of four types of mulches including wood chips, municipal compost, sawdust and gravel in three different thicknesses on growth of platanus orientalis during two years, an experiment was conducted in mashhad area with semi-arid climate. the research was conducted as split plot based on a completely randomized block design with four replications. treatments included c...

Pa vias, M., Patlokova, Vlasta: Occurrence of Mycobacteria in Sawdust, Straw, Hay and Their Epizootiological Significance. Acta vet. Bmo, 54, 1985: 85-90. The occurrence of mycobacteria in sawdust and straw used as bedding material in cattle and pig herds was investigated using 147 sawdust and straw samples from 47 farms. The most important epizootiological finding was the demonstration of nine...

polypyrrole (ppy/cl) and polyaniline (pani/cl) synthesized chemically onto sawdust (sd)was used for removal of thiocyanate (scn-) ions from aqueous solutions. the effect of someimportant parameters such as ph, initial concentration, sorbent dosage, and contact time onuptake of scn- was investigated. ppy/sd was found to be much more effective sorbent thanpani/sd for uptake scn- from aqueous solu...

The waste of sawdust and wood chips in the processing industry Jayapura City has not been utilized properly maximally, but only as firewood. In fact, this a large enough potential to be developed raw material for making charcoal briquettes. This research method analyzed calorific value 5 (five) treatments using Completely Randomized Design, repetitions so that total treatment was 25 (twenty fiv...
