The removal of copper (II) ion by using ultrasound pre-treatment to increase the pores structure and surface area on peanut husk powder via direct sonication (ultrasound probe) and indirect ultrasound (ultrasound bath) at powder level 3.5 W. In previous studies, researchers had applied ultrasound simultaneous with adsorption process. This method is not suitable to treat huge amount of heavy met...

Though potentially useful, agricultural byproducts are often discarded because of the lack of specific applications in many industries. However, they have suitable properties for use in the paper industry, according to recent literature. In this study, the suitability of rice husk, peanut husk, and garlic stem as raw materials for the manufacture of a new lignocellulosic bulking agent was inves...

The main objective of this study is to explore development of pharmaceutical excipients from the husk obtained from the seeds of Plantago ovata. Husk shows very good swelling property in water due to the major part of mucilage in it. Since swelling is one of the mechanisms of action of some tablet disintegrants, it is thought that the husk powder of Plantago ovata would be able to act as a tabl...

to observe the feasibility of the removal of carmine, peanut husk, an agriculture by-product, was crosslinked with epichlorohydrin in alkaline medium and used for adsorption of carmine from aqueous solution. batch experiments were carried out to study the effects of various parameters such as initial ph, contact time, adsorbent dosage and initial carmine concentration, as well as temperature on...

The Rice Husk Ash is a cheap and readily available biosorbent for the removal of nickel ions from aqueous solutions. This investigation comprises of the equilibrium and kinetics study for biosorption of nickel ions from aqueous solutions using Rice Husk Ash powder as a biosorbent in a batch process. The Rice Husk Ash is obtained from a hotel near Andhra University campus, is dried in sunlight f...

Present study dealt the removal of Cr(VI) in a tannery industry wastewater using rice husk silica powder as an adsorbent.The experimental investigations have been carried out by using rice husk silica powder for different adsorption dosage, different contact time and different pH against the initial Cr(VI) concentration of 292 mg/L. The maximum percentage removal of Cr(VI) in a tannery industri...

BACKGROUND We previously reported the initial results of the first multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial of peanut sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT), observing a favorable safety profile associated with modest clinical and immunologic effects in the first year. OBJECTIVE We sought to provide long-term (3-year) clinical and immunologic outcomes for our peanut S...

One of Indonesia's great potential biomass energy sources is food crop waste. Five commodities with nine types waste were investigated in the study. This study aimed to determine physical, chemical, and thermal properties crops wastes their for utilization as an source. Furthermore, spatial map gross 34 provinces Indonesia depicted. The results research showed a moisture content samples range 1...

Abstract: Background & Aims of the Study: Textile dyes generally are made of synthetic, organic, and aromatic compounds that may be contain of some heavy metals in their structure. Complex structure and presence of these metals cause toxicity and may be mutagen, teratogen or carcinogen. This study has investigated the ability of peanut shell powder to removal of some reactive dyes (Green 19...

Many non-conventional adsorbent have been studied as economic alternative to commercial activated carbon and mostly agricultural waste have been introduced such as rubber leaf powder and hazelnut shell. Microwave Incinerated Rice Husk Ash (MIRHA), produced from the rice husk is one of the low-cost materials that were used as adsorbent of heavy metal. The aim of this research was to study the fe...
