background: surface water and groundwater pollution with various forms of nitrogen such as ammonium and nitrate ions is one of the main environmental risks. the major objectives of this study were to evaluate the capacity of natural zeolite (clinoptilolite) to remove no3- and nh4+ from polluted water under both batch and column conditions. methods: the laboratory batch and column experiments we...

The object of the study was river water, which sampled 500 m before and after point discharge wastewaters from industrial activities. concentration chlorides, magnesium, calcium in all studied samples below value acceptable limit concentration. pH water sulphate were within limits. iron, ammonium, nitrite higher than limit. It suggested that pollution with iron mainly due to natural processes, ...

Contaminants in water are classified into different types based on their physical and chemical properties. Thus, more than one type of sorbents may be needed for their removal. In this article, a combination of vermiculite with palygorskite was studied for their simultaneous removal of ammonium and humic acid from simulated groundwater. Batch results showed that the Langmuir model described amm...

An extracellular lipase with 23,666.66 U/ml/min activity was produced by Aspergillus tamarii JGIF06 under submerged fermentation in mineral salt medium containing coconut oil (2.5 % v/v), tryptone (2 % w/v) and ammonium chloride (2 % w/v), with initial pH of 5 ± 0.2, incubated at 25 °C for 7 days on a rotary shaker at 120 rpm. A 7.9-fold increase in lipase-specific activity was recorded after p...

For the granulation of nitrate-sulfate-carbonate melt, prilling method is applied using a tower. The composition and properties new types fertilizers were studied. It shown that with ratio NH 4 NO 3 : СаСО (NH ) 2 SO = 100: 24: 1 product contains 28,03% - N, 0,50% , 10% СаО has granule strength 6.03 MPa, which much higher than pure granules (1.32 MPa). absorption AN 4.82 g. With an increase in ...

An extracellular phytase from Aspergillus niger 11T53A9 was purified about 51-fold to apparent homogeneity with a recovery of 20.3% referred to the phytase activity in the crude extract. Purification was achieved by ammonium sulphate precipitation, ion chromataography and gel filtration. The purified enzyme behaved as a monomeric protein with a molecular mass of about 85 kDa and exhibited maxim...

Serum is necessary for growth of 3 T6 mouse fibroblasts in log phase and for their maintenance in crowded cultures, at or near the stationary phase. Removal of the dialysable components of serum has only a small effect on growth and maintenance of these cells, and has no significant effect on macromolecular synthetic processes. Fractionation of serum by ammonium sulphate precipitation did not r...
