Chitosan Flocculation-sedimentation for Harvesting Selected Microalgae Specie...UniversitasGadjahMada
Microalgae is an attractive feedstock for sustainable biodiesel production. The harvesting step of microalgae needs technology, which saves energy and time. One of the low cost strategies for addressing this problem is the use of flocculation-sedimentation process as an initial step. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the flocculation-sedimentation of selected microalgae species grown in monoculture (Nannochloropsis sp.) and mixed cultures (South Coast of Yogyakarta) using modified chitosan. The effect of flocculant dosage and sedimentation time that might affect the percentage of microalgae cell removal was investigated. Chitosan has proved to be highly effective for dewatering of the microalgae, Nannochloropsis sp. and Yogyakarta mixed cultures, with the optimum flocculation efficiency reaching over 72.09 % (25 ppm of chitosan dosage; 10 min of sedimentation time) and 87.25 % (25 ppm of chitosan dosage; 30 min of sedimentation time) of biomass removal. The characteristics of chitosan in term of high positive charge density and long chains allow the microalgae to aggregate to form flocs and settle to the bottom due to gravitational effect.
IRJET- A Review Paper on Decomposition of Food Waste by Rotatitng Drum MethodIRJET Journal
This paper reviews the rotating drum method for decomposing food waste. The rotating drum method provides agitation, aeration, and mixing of waste materials like food waste, vegetable waste, dry leaves, and paper waste. This creates optimal conditions for aerobic microbes to rapidly decompose the organic materials. Within 20 days, the rotating drum method can produce quality compost containing 2.1% nitrogen and 3.5% phosphorus while maintaining temperatures over 55°C to kill pathogens. The process reduces moisture content from 61% to 43% and lowers the biochemical oxygen demand, showing effective aerobic decomposition of the food waste into fertilizer.

This document describes a new method using self-propelled silver-exchanged zeolite micromotors for detoxifying chemical and biological threats. The micromotors incorporate silver ions into a zeolite framework, imparting strong chemical warfare agent binding and degradation abilities as well as antibacterial properties. During operation, the micromotors autonomously move while their silver ions catalytically degrade chemicals and kill bacteria through contact. Compared to static systems, this "on-the-fly" adsorption and catalytic action provides a faster, more efficient, and environmentally-friendly means of decontamination without needing harsh conditions or additional reagents.

The purpose of this study was to obtain a relationship between the ratio of
BOD/COD and partition coefficient octanol/water (Pow) for glucose, lactose, sucrose,
formaldehyde, acetic acid and oxalic acid. This relationship was supported by the
toxicity test of each organic material on fish. The results show that the lower the
BOD/COD ratio, the higher the Pow coefficient, which means more organic matter
leads to biomass. Among the organic materials studied, formaldehyde has the lowest
BOD/COD ratio (<0.1) and highest Pow (>4) and was supported by the results of its
toxicity in fish having the lowest LC-50 (24 mg/L). Whereas lactose has the highest
BOD/COD ratio (>0.9) and lowest Pow (<0.7) with the highest LC-50 (851 mg/L). The

Article application of silicon nanoparticles in agriculture - 18.2.2019HoTrnc
Silicon nanoparticles (Si-NPs) have the potential to directly and indirectly impact plants and agriculture. Direct impacts include improving plant growth, structural coloring of plants, and increasing disease resistance. Si-NPs were also found to alleviate abiotic stressors like salinity and drought. Indirect impacts include using Si-NPs as nanocarriers for fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides, as well as in nanozeolites to improve soil water retention and nanosensors for soil monitoring. While most studies found benefits, some reported negative impacts due to changes in growth media pH. Further research is still needed to fully understand and utilize the applications of Si-NPs in agriculture.

Direct impacts include improving plant growth, structural coloring of plants, and increasing disease resistance. Si-NPs were also found to alleviate abiotic stressors like salinity and drought. Indirect impacts include using Si-NPs as nanocarriers for fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides, as well as in nanozeolites to improve soil water retention and nanosensors for soil monitoring. While most studies found benefits, some reported negative impacts due to changes in growth media pH. Further research is still needed to fully understand and utilize the applications of Si-NPs in agriculture.

An investigation on heavy metal tolerance properties of bacteria isolated fro...AbdullaAlAsif1
The presence of high concentration of toxic heavy metals in industrial waste directly leads to contamination of receiving soil and water bodies and has deleterious impact on both human health and aquatic life. In the present study samples from textile mill effluent from different areas of Jessore city were analyzed for the identification and characterization of bacteria which shows tolerance to Copper, Mercury and Zinc. The bacterial isolates were characterized on the basis of their morphological and physiological studies including size and shape of the organisms, arrangement of the cells, presence or absence of spores, regular or irregular forms, gram reaction, cultural characteristics, IMViC test, H 2S production, nitrate reduction, deep glucose agar test etc. All the bacterial isolates belonged to 3 genera Bacillus, Enterobacter and Pseudomonas. All the gram positive isolates used in our study showed highest level of tolerance to Zn and moderate level of tolerance to Cu while gram negative isolates showed higher tolerance to Zn in comparison with Cu in nutrient broth. But all of the isolates showed almost no tolerance to Hg. So, our bacterial isolates have the probability to use in the treatment of industrial effluent containing heavy metals and thus pollution due to heavy metal can be controlled. The goal of this study was to identify heavy metal tolerant bacteria from the textile effluent. This kind of study is very significant for broader investigation to obtain data about metal tolerant bacteria considering their potential use for bioremediation and about the interactions between metals and bacteria.

This document summarizes a study that investigated the use of Parthenium stem powder for biosorption of lead from aqueous solutions. The study optimized various process parameters like pH, contact time, temperature, adsorbent dosage and initial lead concentration using response surface methodology. Batch experiments using Box-Behnken design showed that the optimum conditions for maximum lead biosorption were a pH of 5, initial lead concentration of 20 mg/L, and adsorbent dosage of 30 g/L. Kinetic, thermodynamic and isotherm studies demonstrated that the adsorption process was spontaneous and fit the pseudo-second order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm model. The Parthenium stem powder was found to
