The phytotoxic and antimicrobial properties of olive mill wastes have been widely investigated and demonstrated over the past decade. However, their potential utilization as biodegradable pesticides against plant pathogens is still poorly understood. In this study, a series of laboratory bioassays was designed to test the inhibitory effects of sterile water extracts of two-phase olive mill wast...

The production of olive oil in Morocco has recently grown considerably for its economic and nutritional importance favored by the country's climate. After the extraction of olive oil by pressing or centrifuging, the obtained liquid contains oil and vegetation water which is subsequently separated by decanting or centrifugation. Despite its treatment throughout the extraction process, this olive...

In the Mediterranean basin, olive oil production represents an important economic sector for some countries. Currently, is constantly growing and done at expense of environment. addition to its main product, which virgin oil, it generates two by-products, mill pomace (OMP) wastewater (OMW). These by-products have heretofore little value despite their large constitutions polyphenols that are gre...

Laboratory and field experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of olive-mill waste (OMW) addition to a Mediterranean olive grove soil on sorption, persistence, and mobility of two herbicides which are simultaneously applied for weed control in olive groves: terbuthylazine (TA) and fluometuron (FM). Laboratory batch sorption experiments showed that OMW addition to the soil at rates of 5 ...

biomass co-firing with lignite represents an attractive solution for operating lignite-fired thermalpower plants (tpp) with the dual advantage of using local renewable resources and simultaneously reducingemissions. the subject of this study is technical and environmental investigation of the feasibility of the cofiring of soma lignite with some dried agricultural residues in the soma thermal p...

Correction for 'Carbonyl trapping and antiglycative activities of olive oil mill wastewater' by Marta Navarro et al., Food Funct., 2015, 6, 574-583.

in this work, ferric coagulation and acid cracking as olive mill wastewater (omw) pretreatments during photocatalysis process were compared in batch recirculation reactor. as ferric ions influence, ferric coagulation has preference over acid cracking. ferric ions influence on intensification of penolic components absorption on tio2 surfacein initial and oxidize organic pollutant during photocat...
