The removal of re أکثرThis study was performed with the aim of investigating the efficiency of the Nano photocatalytic of ultraviolet and titanium dioxide compound and rice husk silica adsorbent (UV/TiO2/RHS) in removal reactive red 198 dye from synthetic aqueous solutions. The removal of reactive red 198 dye was done in batch reactors with a volume of 250 ml using RHS deposited by titanium dioxide in the presence of a UV lamp. The effect of pH, immobilization of TiO2 on RHS adsorbent, contact time, nanoparticle mass and initial concentration of dye in removal efficiency were investigated. The results of this research showed that with an increase in pH and alkalinity of the solution, the removal efficiency declined. As the pH changed from 3 to 9, the removal efficiency in UV/TiO2/RHS, RHS adsorbent and UVC radiation declined from 75.25 to 27.87, 8.37 to 3.4, and 16.62 to 3.25%, respectively. The maximum dye removal efficiency obtained by UV/TiO2/RHS was as large as 87.5% under pH=3, contact time of 60 min, nanoparticle mass of 1 g/L, and 25 mg/L concentration of the reactive red 198 dye. Therefore, the rice husk silica as a natural adsorbent in combination with (TiO2/UV) can be used as an effective method for removal reactive red of aqueous solutions on a larger scale by optimizing the parameters affecting the removal efficiency. تفاصيل المقالة -

The scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive X-ray (SEM/EDX) أکثرA series of bismuth-silicate photocatalysts were synthesized via the sol-gel method for photodegradation of methylene blue (MB) under sunlight irradiation, utilizing rice husk ash as a silica precursor. The scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive X-ray (SEM/EDX) analysis detected Bi content in 3-10 wt% range. Furthermore, it can be seen that the porosity decreased as the Bi concentration increased. The N2 adsorption-desorption analysis indicates the presence of mesopores with an average diameter of 297-554 Å with Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area of 5.6-30.5 m2/g. The photocatalyst with a Bi concentration of 4 wt% (RHSBi-A2) was the most active in the photodegradation of MB; the removal reached 90% within 4 h. The photodegradation is proposed to be driven by superoxide ( ), hydroxyl (•OH) radicals, and hole (h+) based on the valence band (VB) and conduction band (CB) potentials. The porous silica framework is proposed to act as an electron reservoir, allowing better MB adsorption and enhancing light absorption. تفاصيل المقالة -

Four iso-nitrogenous (14.0% crude protein (CP)) and iso-caloric (metabolizable energy (ME) 2.5 Mcal/kg) rations, containing zero (control), 10%, 20% and 30% rice husk, were formulated. Buffaloes were individually fed the diets ad libitum. Ten kg of available green fodder (Trifolium alexandrinum, berseem) was also offered to each animal. Feed consumed was noted daily by subtracting refusals. Milking was twice a day with the yield being recorded. Milk samples were analyzed for fat, solids-not-fat, total solids and protein. A digestibility trial was conducted at the end of the study for seven days using three animals from each group. Milk yield and composition was similar across the treatments. Nutrient digestibility of dry matter, crude protein, crude fiber and ash increased linearly with increasing levels of treated rice husk, but differences were non-significant (P>0.05). Similarly, changes in blood metabolites also not significantly affected by the treatments. It can be concluded that treatment of rice husks with a low level of NaOH has no harmful effect, so can be used in the formulation of diets for lactating buffaloes. تفاصيل المقالة -

A total of 320 Indian River broiler chicks were randomly allocated to four treatments: paddy husk with an elevated platform, paddy husk with no elevated platform, sawdust with an elevated platform, and sawdust with no elevated platform with four replicates for each treatment (n=20). Behaviour of the birds was assessed by scan sampling methods. Welfare indicators were assessed by using a scoring system. Data were analyzed using a generalized linear mixed model and Kruskal-Wallis tests. There was no effect of litter material on the prevalence of FPD (P>0.05). Elevated platforms reduced the severity of FPD in the birds in both litters (P<0.05). The birds reared in sawdust regardless of elevated platforms, showed higher (P<0.05) scores for hock burns. Litter quality was lower in sawdust, irrespective of the elevated platforms (P<0.05). There was no effect of the elevated platform on litter quality, hock burns, plumage cleanliness, and behaviours of the birds. A higher frequency of dust bathing was observed in paddy husks (P=0.014). Litter material or elevated platform did not affect body weight of the birds. Results revealed that the provision of elevated platforms and paddy husk litter material enhanced the welfare of broiler chickens in the closed-house system. تفاصيل المقالة -

The paddy cultivation emission amounted to 76% of methane. Meanwhile, the grain produced by paddy consists of 16.3% to 28% husk with 18 to 22.3% silica. Silica contained in the soil can increase the root oxidation power of paddy, thus it will reduce methane emissions. The objective of this research was to evaluate the reduction of methan emissiom from paddy field by using silica from rice husk. This research used experiment with randomized block design and has eight treatments with three repetitions. The dose of biosilica is equivalent with 200 kg ha-1 of ameliorant in the form of ash, biochar, and compost. The methane analysis was carried out at 1, 5, 8, 12, and 15 weeks after planting. The methane was analized by GC with FID. The result of the research show that the ash produced from rice husk is the best single source of biosilica in paddy soil that can reduce methane emissions by 80.75%. The composition of ash, biochar, and compost (1:1:1) can increase the paddy growth and paddy production as well as reduce methane emissions effectively. The reduction of methane emission by giving silica into the soil is happened through the dissolved silica mechanism. The dissolved silica causes the increasing of pH and the root oxidation power of paddy. تفاصيل المقالة -

Therefore, it is need to precisely identify a walnut’s shell. Physical and mechanical properties of shell in the four Persian walnut cultivars/genotypes were studied. This study investigated the mechanical properties of a walnut’s husk and calculated the required energy in the process of shearing, penetrating and bruising for four walnut cultivars/genotypes (K72, Z67, Pedro, Serr). This was done by a texture analyzer instrument. Required energy to perform each of these tests were given in terms of the maximum and minimum values. The averaged results were so that the maximum amount of Krammer shear test belonged to K72 variety and the minimum of that belonged to Pedro variety. Penetration’s test data also indicated that the maximum amount in four available varieties was Pedro and the minimum value was suitable for Z76. Also, in the bruising test, Serr variety had the maximum value of required energy and Z76 variety had the minimum energy requirement. تفاصيل المقالة -

21 - Evaluation of a Walnut Huller
G.R. Chegini A.R. MakarichianWalnut is one of the high yielding crops in horticultural production, and establishment of walnut orchards is growing. Yet despite Iran’s being the second largest producer of walnuts in the world, this country does not play a significant role in walnut export. Thi أکثرWalnut is one of the high yielding crops in horticultural production, and establishment of walnut orchards is growing. Yet despite Iran’s being the second largest producer of walnuts in the world, this country does not play a significant role in walnut export. This gap is most affected by the need to mechanize the harvesting process. This case is more understandable when can construct a new device with greater efficiency in comparison of the existing mechanical systems. In this article, a walnut huller built on the Abouraihan campus of the University of Tehran is evaluated, with Rotational speed, time and brush distance being optimized to make the best quality of hulling process. The results indicate that increasing the rotational speed, increases the amount of walnuts hulled but that the percentage of damaged nuts also increases. If, at a constant rotational speed, the distance between abrasive brushes is reduced, the amounts of nuts hulled and damaged are raised but the degree of hulling is greater than degree of injury. Also, if the distance between abrasive brushes and the rotational speed are decreased, the peeling rate is increased while the damage rate is decreased. تفاصيل المقالة -

22 - Comparative Evaluation of Cadmium Ion Uptake byWastes Generated from Zea mays

Batch adsorption studies were utilized to decide the impact of different parameters on the process. Cadmium ion uptake by the adsorbents increased with increase in pH from 3 – 6, with HK and CB showing a steady increase as pH changed. The removal efficiency of all the adsorbents increased with adsorbent dose. However, after 0.4 g load of adsorbent, the removal efficiency of SC became independent of adsorbent load. The maximum adsorption capacity of HK, SK and CB was attained in 12 minutes while SC reached this point in 9 minutes. The adsorption equilibrium data for all the adsorbents fitted well in the Freundlich isotherm model. The adsorption intensities of all the adsorbents from this model were greater than 1, and indicated that metal ion adsorption by these adsorbents were favourable physical processes. The rate of cadmium ion adsorption onto the adsorbents was better explained by the pseudo second-order kinetic model. The calculated equilibrium adsorption capacity of HK (16.36 mg/g) and SK (13.51 mg/g) showed that they had potentials for commercial application in the remediation of cadmium ion polluted water. تفاصيل المقالة -

Many dyes are designed to be chemically stable so that they are difficult to decolorize due to their complex structure and synthetic origin. The dye waste is subsequently released directly to water bodies during the textile finishing process. This improper released has adverse effects on the environment and may reduce photosynthesis in aquatic plants. Even though adsorption techniques have been widely used to remove textile dye from waters, the kinetic models used to describe the adsorption of textile dye onto a porous material is still not yet fully understood. This study investigated different applications of absorbent from sugarcane bagasse (SB) and rice husks (RH) in removing color from aqueous solution and the application of kinetic model for adsorption of color from aqueous solutions onto SB and RH. A batch study was carried out under various mass of adsorptions and contact time with constant with the initial concentration of aqueous solution was 400ADMI. The data obtained from batch experiments showed that the removal of RH (93%) was more efficient than SB (49%). This study also advanced the understanding on the kinetic adsorption study of RH and SB to prove that the adsorbents have potential to reduce dye from synthetic solution. The contribution of this study in the removal of significant dye pollutants from industrial wastewater will require future assessment in a prospective wastewater treatment facility setting. تفاصيل المقالة
