This study deals with the valorization of a biomaterial, almond shell, for treatment urban effluents city Fez by fixed bed column adsorption process. A parametric analysis process is carried out conditions such as particle size, pH and height adsorbent to evaluate optimal removal percent obtain an capacity load. Characterization prior continuous was X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared...

almonds belong to prunus genus, which is related to rosaceae family. it has close relatives with different species of stoned fruits. one of the main reasons for the long period of seed germination in prunus is compound dormancy, such as the external seed cover as physical dormancy and embryo dormancy causes physiological dormancy. seed stratification and treatments with various hormones are use...

Vascular dysfunction is one of the major causes of cardiovascular (CV) mortality and increases with age. Epidemiological studies suggest that Mediterranean diets and high nut consumption reduce CV disease risk and mortality while increasing plasma α-tocopherol. Therefore, we have investigated whether almond supplementation can improve oxidative stress markers and CV risk factors over 4 weeks in...

AIMS To evaluate the antimicrobial properties of flavonoid-rich fractions derived from natural and blanched almond skins, the latter being a by-product from the almond processing industry. METHODS AND RESULTS Almond skin extracts were tested against Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella enterica, Serratia marcescens), Gram-positive bacteria (Listeria mon...

In the near future, sustainable and efficient biorefineries would be essential for production of commodity chemicals high-added value compounds. Therefore, in this work, six scenarios differing on delignification steps cellulose conversion routes were assessed via Life Cycle Assessment methodology order to study environmental impacts derived from an abundant agricultural residue (almond shells)...

The agro waste briquettes produced from sorghum panicle and pearl millet with corn starch as the binder varied proportions were compared other briquettes, elemental analysis of SP-PM was waste, palm kernel shell, soybean mango leaves, rice husk, spruce, coffee husk briquettes. TGA results leaf, baggase, almond banana pseudostem, pineapple stem root, low rank coal, bituminous cotton stalk, wheat...
