Vinegar residue biochar: A possible conditioner for the safe remediation of alkaline Pb-contaminated soil
-
A better understanding how to modulate alkaline soil-plant systems with lead (Pb) toxicity with by vinegar residue biochar is important for the remediation of Pb-contaminated soil. Leaching column...
Controlled nitrogen transformation in chemo-amended urea improves nitrogen use efficiency and productivity of wheat grown on alkaline calcareous soil
06/01/2022 -
Low wheat production is linked to soil degradation, low organic matter, temperature variation, and nutrient depletion in soils of semiarid regions. Nitrogen is mostly applied as urea to meet crop...
Targeted proteomics for the analysis of cultural heritage: application of broadband collision-induced dissociation mass spectrometry
-
A broadband collision-induced dissociation (bbCID) fragmentation mode was proposed for liquid chromatography–mass spectrometric targeted analysis of tryptic peptides obtained from proteins in...
Size-resolved splashed cooking oil droplets from 1 to 1000 ?m on surfaces: The impact of residential range hoods
-
Cooking-emitted pollution is a major health concern in residential buildings. Compared to actively sampled cooking-emitted airborne pollutants with a focus on the intake portion through the...
Economic Analysis and Development of the Nile Tilapia Cultivated in the Nursery Using Reject Brine as Water Support

23/12/2021 -
Biopolymeric Chitosan-Carrageenan nanocomposites 66.6–231.82 nm in size containing the chemical fungicide mancozeb (nano CSCRG-M) were synthesized following a green chemistry approach....
One pot preparation of tin sulfide decorated graphene nanocomposite for high performance supercapacitor applications
-
Herein, we have synthesized tin sulfide nanoparticles homogenously dispersed onto graphene sheets by simple hydrothermal method. The crystal structure and morphological of the prepared materials...
Effect of Residual Pesticides in Recycled Nursery Runoff on Growth and Physiology of Six Ornamental Shrubs
-
Nursery runoff may contain pesticide residues, which, if released off-site, could impair surrounding ecosystems. As a solution, nursery growers can retain runoff water on-site and recycle retained...
Recoverable resources from pot ale & spent wash from Scotch Whisky production
01/04/2022 -
Scotch Whisky is an important global commodity which generates extensive co-product known as pot ale or spent wash (> 10 L co-product per L whisky). Whilst this is often used as fertiliser or...
Influence of the nitrogen pots from graphitic carbon nitride with the presence of wrinkled silica-titania for photodegradation enhancement of 2-chlorophenol
-
An interlayer structure hybrid wrinkled silica titania (WST) loaded on graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) was successfully constructed using facile microwave-assisted solid-state technique. The...
Effect of Various Rates of P from Alternative and Traditional Sources on Butterhead Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) Grown on Peat Substrate
16/12/2021 -
Previous research indicated the potential use of struvite (STR) as an alternative source of phosphorus (P) in crop production. A greenhouse experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of STR and...
