Abstract

In the development of phytoremediation this method can be simulated quite concisely and precisely. Simulations are carried out to predict plant behavior towards several different treatments, for example plant species, also types and concentrations of contaminants. In this study a dynamic model of phytoremediation has been made using sunflower plants and 134Cs and 60Co radionuclides. This study was developed by mimicking the interaction of soil and plants to be simulated into Phytoremediation Dynamic Model (PDM). Diverse mathematical algorithms implemented to characterize phytoremediation, systems such as differential equation, statistical correlation, and dynamic system approach. The error value obtained is different for each contaminant for each variation in concentration, which ranges from 0,0006-0,6349 for 134Cs contaminants and 0,0089-0,4157 for 60Co contaminants. The error value is quite small, and the overall simulation data has approached the experimental data. Factors that influence the results of calculated data include saturation point values, as well as the absorption rate of each part of the plant obtained from calculations and estimates. This model has proven to be able to mimic plant responses to contaminants

Abstract

Balanites aegyptiaca known as the desert date is an underutilized and neglected wild fruit tree/shrub of the arid and semi-arid zones with high economic potential. This study, therefore, was conducted to investigate the yield, physico-chemical and phytochemical properties, proximate and mineral composition of desert date kernel oil from different locations. Oil was extracted using the soxhlet apparatus, while hexane served as solvent. Standard procedures were used to determine the yield and properties of desert date kernel oil. The data obtained were subjected to the analysis of variance (p< 0.05). Oil yield (%) was found to range from 21.09±1.04-43.95±1.85 and varied significantly among the locations. Acid and saponification values (mg KOH/g) increased significantly from 2.11±0.07 to 1.36±0.07 and 76.35±0.22 to 179.85±0.90, respectively. The refractive index ranged from 1.36±0.15 to 1.48±0.06, while the iodine value (mg KOH/g) varied significantly from 67.07±1.53 to 85.33±2.52. Saponins, tannins, and phenol were discovered to vary significantly among the locations, and range from 3.82±0.30 -5.83±0.45 (mg/100 g), 1.31±0.10 - 1.68±0.03 (mg/100 g) and 1.51±0.05 - 2.09±0.06 (mg/100 g), respectively. The broad variability observed in the properties of desert date kernel oil among locations indicates the feasibility of improving kernel oil yield and properties through selection

Abstract

The population of Monrovia is increasing accompanied by rapid urbanization. Due to rapid urbanization, economic development, higher living standards, and changes in consumption patterns and lifestyle, the generation rate of waste has increased. Mismanagement of solid waste tends to hinder any progress toward environmental sustainability. This study endeavored to determine Improper Solid Waste Management at the Duala Market, Monrovia-Liberia examines the connection between population growth, economic development, and the rise in waste production. The study evaluated behavioral factors on a qualitative and quantitative level, including knowledge, attitude, and practices of solid waste management, stakeholder collaboration, and obstacles to sustainable waste management in Monrovia. To display the various socioeconomic groups in the city, households were chosen at random (simple and stratified). The key findings revealed socio-demographic (70%) Waste generated are inadequately disposed of by female, as a result of the large fragment of waste that is still not collected, waste is dumped and burned in the open. followed by intervention to reduce improper waste management accounts (40%) which need public awareness and factors leading to improper waste management accounts (30%), not cognizant of the waste management area. These waste management challenges have become heightened because of insufficient technology to ensure proper management and low budgetary allocations for effective waste management.

Abstract

The emission of carbon dioxide has been continuously rising year by year. Many efforts that have been used with aim of climate recovery, such as capturing CO2 with the Carbon Capture Storage (CCS) method, which is the CCS technology is one of the effective tactics for reducing carbon emissions by utilizing energy from biomass of microalgae. This research will discuss about carbon capture using microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis in a lab scale photobioreactor (PBR), and resulting the optimum biomass productivity for Haematococcus pluvialis has occurred in the H2 variable (50 ppm Mg2+). This happens because of addition of Mg ions above 50 ppm can decrease the yield of biomass productivity, since Haematococcus pluvialis cannot live in high salinity concentrations. Further research should make a calculation of optimal cost incurred at the optimal carbon concentration that can be captured by microalgae, also the results of increasing value of the microalgae biomass produced for the comprehensive use of the microalgae.

Abstract

Tofu waste water is still being a significant issue in Indonesia owing to its level of BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand) and COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) (Chemical Oxygen Demand). However, this waste also includes significant ammonia (230 mg/L) which is needed for microalgae development. Microalgae are photosynthetic microorganism which need nitrogen supply for their development. Among others, microalgae Botryococcus braunii is the one with large oil amount within their cells (25 – 75 %). This study was meant to examine the usage of tofu whey for culture medium for algae development. The experiment was done by adjustment of whey volume (5-20 %) in fresh medium and algal biomass was continually measured. The findings revealed that Botryococcus braunii obtained optimum growth in 10 % volume with biomass generated at 2.4 g/L and 0,8716 g/L of lipid production. At this circumstance, COD might be lowered up to 83.33 %.

Abstract

This research focused on the effects affecting ammonia removal in synthetic wastewater by Rhodobacter sp. strain A1 using one factor at a time method (OFAT). Rhodobacter sp. strain A1 are able to remove ammonia from synthetic wastewater due to its ability to assimilate ammonia. The ammonia removal experiment was conducted under different factors; Rhodobacter sp. strain A1 inoculum size (2%, 4%, 6%), incubation temperature (20°C, 25°C, 30°C, 37°C, 40°C), initial pH of synthetic wastewater (5,6,7,8,9) and initial NH4Cl concentration (5 mg/L, 10 mg/L, 15 mg/L) for four days of incubation period. Then, the solution was tested using Nessler reagent which will produce yellow colour when it reacts with ammonia. The intensity of colour is proportional to the ammonia concentration. This experiment was followed by ammonia quantitative analysis via spectrophotometer at 425 nm. The results obtained were then calculated to get the percentage of ammonia removal by PNSB. The result revealed that the bacterium can achieved 97.90 % efficiency of total ammonia removal at optimum growth condition with 6% of inoculum size, incubation temperature at 30°C and initial pH 7. As a conclusion, this Rhodobacter sp. strain A1 can therefore serve as a good candidate in wastewater treatment for ammonia removal.

Abstract

Mangrove propagule size variation is an important factor in their survival. The main aim of this study was to determine the productivity and identify the comparison between Avicenna marina and Rhizophora mucronata. However, it is less studied about the comparison of mangrove species and their salt tolerance in terms of seedling establishment of propagules. We investigated the propagules size variation of Avicennia marina and Rhizophora mucronata from the Indus delta and were grown in the polythene bags of 5x10″ filled with silty soil from field nursery. We used salinity and nutrients treatments to propagules to identify the growth rate of mangrove species. The surveying technique was also used to collect the information of mangrove forest from local communities. We detected that Rhizophora mucronata had a higher productivity rate due to the given concentration of 50% sea water. While the Avicennia marina showed a lower decline ratios growth at 25% salinity level with further increases in salinity. Using diffusion porometers and infrared gas analyzers (IRGAs), we revealed that stomatal conductance was higher in Rhizophora mucronata, followed by Avicennia marina. Moreover, our outcomes showed a higher Sodium and chloride ions with the increase in salinity and also demonstrated a higher accumulation in Avicennia marina. Overall, its was found that Avicennia marina is the most salt resistant species and it’s a dominated species in littoral forest. Our outcomes can help us to better understand the green infrastructure design of mangroves, suggesting that selecting multiple techniques ensure many post-tsunami restoration initiatives are encountering problems.

Abstract

Cleanliness has become an integral element of daily living. Soap is often used as a cleaning agent. Soap can remove grime and microorganisms that adhere to the skin. Various types of fats or oils are often utilized as soap's primary constituents. The usage of these diverse oils alters the properties of soap, beginning with its hardness, its impact on the skin, and the resultant foam. 3 grams and 5 grams of Spirulina are added to the soap formulation. The pH test, foam height test, and organoleptic test are the test parameters. The findings demonstrated that the pH of each solid soap preparation was nine, which was in agreement with national standard criteria. The foam stability formed was 75% and 25%, and that the soap formulation maintained its color, shape, and odor for a period of ten days during storage. This research concludes that Spirulina platensis can be made into a solid soap formulation. The effects of the addition of Spirulina to solid soap include a light green color, a solid shape or solid texture, and a distinct perfume of essential tea tree oil, as well as the production of quite a bit of foam and a little coarseness.
