Recycling agriculture wastes of ramie stalk as bioadsorbents for Cd2+ removal: a kinetic and thermodynamic study
In this study, we exhibit the recycling of agriculture wastes of ramie stalk as bioadsorbents for Cd2+ removal. Based on our experimental results, it is realized that Cd2+ adsorption to ramie stalk is highly pH sensitive, indicating the adsorption is driven by surface complexation reaction. The high adsorption capacity of ramie stalk toward Cd2+ (qm = 10.33 mg g−1, 0.09 mol-Cd g−1), which ...

Pesticide removal from wastewater
In this study, the removal of 2,2 ? dichlorovinyl ? o,o ? dimethyl phosphate (DDVP) from wastewater by adsorption was carried out. DDVP is an organophosphorus insecticide widely used in agriculture in Turkey. Adsorbents used in the study were agricultural waste straw, wood chips and ground corncobs. Adsorption of DDVP onto these materials from wastewater was evaluated by using a batch system. ...

Adsorption of anionic dyes in aqueous solution using chemically modified barley straw
An agricultural waste derived adsorbent was prepared by chemically modified barley straw with NaOH and a cationic surfactant hexadecylpyridinium chloride monohydrate (CPC). The prepared adsorbent, BMBS, was used for removal of anionic dyes; Acid Blue (AB40) and Reactive Blue 4 (RB4) from aqueous solution in a batch adsorption system. The adsorbent was characterized by FT-IR and elemental ...

Biotransformation of rice straw by Phanerachaete chrysosporium and the related ligninolytic enzymes
Biotransformation of lignin is related to the biomass utilisation of agricultural wastes. Ligninolytic enzyme from Phanerochaete chrysosporium plays an important role in biodegrading lignin and is specially concerned by researchers. The aim of the study is to optimise the conditions for producing ligninolytic enzymes in solid-state fermentation, and to biotransform the rice straw for the biomass ...

Shocking Truth About Modern Agricultural Waste and Pollution
We have previously discussed soil degradation and now turn our attention to agricultural waste and pollution. As the population of the world increases so does the demand for food. This in turn leads to pressure on those in the agricultural sector to increase yields whilst doing so at affordable pricing. This has caused farmers to abandon traditional methods in favour of the intensive farming we ...

Convert Agriculture Waste Into Energy
India is mainly an agricultural county and is also the largest contributors in the GDP of the country. Agriculture provides employment to a huge population of the rural India. This was not the case suddenly post-independence in India. Various steps were taken to make India as a reliable agricultural country. Steps such as green revolution were taken in several five years plan. This has made India ...
