Organic solid and liquid wastes contain large amounts of energy, nutrients, water, should not be perceived as merely waste. Recycling, composting, combustion non-recyclables have been practiced for decades to capture the energy values from municipal wastes. Treatment disposal primary management strategy wastewater. As new technologies are emerging, alternative options utilization both wastewater become available. Considering complexity chemical, physical, biological properties these wastes,...
Biodiesel is a renewable fuel usually produced from vegetable oils and animal fats. This study investigates the extraction of oil its conversion into biodiesel by base-catalyzed transesterification. Firstly, effect various solvents (methanol, n-hexane, chloroform, di-ethyl ether) on non-edible crops, such as R. communis M. azedarach, were examined. It was observed that higher concentration obtained (43.6%) compared to azedarach (35.6%) using methanol respectively. The extracted subjected...
Allelochemicals are secondary metabolites which not edible and can be used as growth regulators bio-herbicides. The goal of current study was to assess allelopathic ability Lantana camara (Sage-plant) flowers against weeds viz. Avena fatua (Wild oat), Euphorbia helioscopia (Sun-spurge), Chenopodium album (Goosefoot), Phalaris minor (Canary-grass), Rumex dentatus (Knotweed). Bioassay analysis three methanolic fractions the Combiflash from L. performed at 50%, 75% 100% concentration using...
Biofuel is an important alternative source of fuel, as many countries are looking to decrease their dependence on fossil fuels. One the critical steps in biofuel production conversion lignocelluloses fermentable sugars, and there need for cheaper more efficient enzymatic strategies. Consequently, lignocellulase genes from various organisms have been explored. Termites possess varied sets micro-scale lignocellulose degrading systems. In this study, bacteria that degraded cellulose xylan were...
Serious non-gastrointestinal-tract infections and food poisoning are caused by Bacillus cereus. Vaccination against B. cereus is very important. The aim of this study was to identify analyze B T cell epitopes for chromate transporter protein the bacteria.Multiple sequence alignment with Clustal Omega method used conserved regions Geneious Prime produce a consensus sequence. were predicted various computational tools from NetCTL Immune Epitope Database (IEDB), respectively.Altogether, 6 HTL...
The aim of this study was to develop an approach for the processing agricultural and organic wastes produce alcoholic fuels such as ethanol butanol. cellulosic materials wheat straw (WS), rice (RS), corn stover (CS) were pretreated with dilute sulfuric acid (H2SO4) sodium hydroxide (NaOH) individually, microalgae (Chlorella vulgaris) treated H2SO4 then fermented. results indicated that pretreatment in acidic condition best fermentable sugar. However, high glucose concentration achieved C....
The burning of cattle manure for domestic use, and plant biomass left out in fields, is a common practice South Asia, specifically Pakistan. According to the 2014 government Pakistan (GOP) survey, had 171 million head that would produce 345 billion kg manure, which could easily be converted into 150 m3 biogas. focus present study was evaluate benefits from co-digestion (CM) with Dalbergia sissoo leaves (DSL) Malus domestica (MDL), on changes biodegradability, C/N ratio effect, synergistic...
<abstract> <b><sc>Abstract.</sc></b> Aquaponics systems were a sustainable model for the future farming. In aquaponics systems, nutrient-rich wastewater generated by fish provides nutrients needed vegetable growth. present study, we examined role of naturally occurring microalgae in selected ammonia control. The yields algal biomass, vegetable, and fish, removal key from monitored during operation systems. When full operation, algae production was estimated at about 5 g/m<sup>2</sup>·day...
