management of solid waste (flyash) has attained an apparent scenario for scientific & strategic concern in india due to large-scale dependence on coal-based thermal power plants. waste utilization as the best option of pollution-prevention and disaster risk strategy has been worked out during previous decades to open doors for flyash utilization on various sectors of developmental and manuf...

considered to be the cleanest liquid fuel, bioethanol can be a reliable alternative to fossil fuels. it is produced by fermentation of sugar components of plant materials. the common onions are considered to be a favorable source of fermentation products as they have high sugar contents as well as contain various nutrients. this study focused on the effective production of ethanol from an endem...

A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the residual effect of rock phosphate and waste mica enriched compost on phosphorus and potassium supplying capacity under soybean crop grown after wheat in a Typic Haplustept. Enriched compost prepared using rice straw, rock phosphate, waste mica and Aspergillus awamori had higher chemical (total P, K, Ca, Mg and micronutrients) as well as biologica...

The effects of integrated nutrient management (INM) by municipal solid waste manure (MSWM) on wheat yield were studied in rice-wheat and cotton-wheat systems. each site was used as an independent experimental unit. Two fertilizer doses (conventional and site-specific) were applied in each of three improved techniques: chemical fertilizers, and MSWM plus chemical fertilizers with and without pes...

Malathion has been identified in at least 21 of the 1,623 hazardous waste sites that have been proposed for inclusion on the EPA National Priorities List (NPL) (HazDat 2003). However, the number of sites evaluated for malathion is not known. The frequency of these sites can be seen in Figure 6-1. All of the 1,623 sites are located within the United States; none of the sites are located in the C...

Introduction The co-digestion of manure with other substrates such as energy crops, industrial wastes, or food industry wastes enhances biogas production. The addition of co-substrates to manure can improve the carbon to nitrogen balance which results in a stable and maintainable digestion process [1]. Co-digestion also improves the flow qualities of the co-digested substrates [2]. Perhaps the ...

The 'phosphorus problem' has recently received strong interest with two distinct strands of importance. The first is that too much phosphorus (P) is entering into waste water, creating a significant economic and ecological problem. Secondly, while agricultural demand for phosphate fertilizer is increasing to maintain crop yields, rock phosphate reserves are rapidly declining. Unravelling the me...

The Brazilian guava processing industry generates 5.5 M Mg guava waste year(-1) that could be recycled sustainably in guava agro-ecosystems as slow-release fertilizer. Our objectives were to elaborate nutrient budgets and to diagnose soil, foliar, and fruit nutrient balances in guava orchards fertilized with guava waste. We hypothesized that (1) guava waste are balanced fertilizer sources that ...

Emami Paper Mill Ltd. at Balgopalpur industrial area produces a huge amount of fly ash and waste water to the environment. The application of disposed fly ash and waste water in crop cultivation may reduce the problem to some extent. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of direct land application of fly ash on plant growth and production of rice (Oriza sativa). In the fly ash exp...

The cost of biodiesel production relies on feedstock cost. Edible oil is unfavorable as a biodiesel feedstock because of its expensive price. Thus, non-edible crop oil, waste oil, and microalgae oil have been considered as alternative resources. Non-edible crop oil and waste cooking oil are more suitable for enzymatic transesterification because they include a large amount of free fatty acids. ...
