<p>Olive mill wastewater (OMWW) contains many phenolic compounds that if discharged without proper treatment, may lead to substantial risks human health and deterioration of the environment aquatic systems. In this study, an attempt was made produce activated carbon from Rice Husk (RH). The RH chemically by calcium chloride utilized for removal phenol aqueous solution. efficiency using Ac...

During the rice harvesting season in Thailand, large amounts of fresh paddy are sent to rice mills immediately after harvesting due to a lack of proper farm storage space. At certain levels of moisture content, rice grains may generate hazardous gases, which can replace oxygen (O(2)) in the confined spaces of underground rice mill pits. This phenomenon has been observed in a fatal accident in T...

Enhancing the accuracy of an approximate cost estimate is a critical issue since the estimate ordinarily predicts the total cost of a project with insufficient project information. In order to facilitate the approximate cost estimate process, this paper proposes a computer-based integrated system that enables the flexibility to varying amount and accuracy of available information, higher accura...

This paper presents the debugging test of biomass circulating fluidized bed gasifier in a rice mill factory Jiangsu Province. The main process system is reported. typical problems during period are analyzed, including blockage primary cyclone separator, loop seal, inventory leakage blast cap on air distribution plate, feeding tube coking, and large fluctuation pressure. Reasonable improvement c...

Two long-grain rice cultivars/hybrids (‘Wells’ and ‘CL 161’) harvested from locations in Arkansas were used in this study. Rice samples were milled for 20, 30, 40, and 50 seconds. Milled whole-rice samples were cooked in excess water for 16, 18, 20, and 22 minutes and in a 2:1 water-to-rice ratio for 20 minutes (WR20). Cooked rice texture and solid leach were determined. Results indicated that ...
