A batch experiment was done at the initial nitrate concentration ...  Read More

Environmental Science
Soil erosion by assessing hydrothermal conditions of its formation

A.B. Achasov; A.A. Achasova; A.V. Titenko

Volume 5, Special Issue , 2019, , Pages 12-21

https://doi.org/10.22034/GJESM.2019.05.SI.02

Abstract
  Soil erosion is one of the vital factors contributing to the loss of fertility and environmental degradation. Generally accepted diagnostics of eroded soils is based on comparison of the sloping soils profile depth with the watershed soils. In this case, there is a separate problem of slope soils with ...  Read More

Recycling process of spent bleaching clay: Optimization by response surface methodology

A.M. Hatami; M.R. Sabour; A. Amiri

Volume 4, Issue 1 , January 2018, , Pages 9-18

https://doi.org/10.22034/gjesm.2018.04.01.002

Abstract
  Oil refining is an inevitable step in production of edible and industrial oil. Bleaching is the most important process among the refining processes. Bleaching adsorption is the most common method and clay is the most widely used adsorbent in this method. Disposal of bleaching clay, as a waste from re-refining ...  Read More

Abstract
  Fresh water source scarcity in arid and semiarid area is limitation factor for saline-sodic soil reclamation. The reusing of agricultural drainage and industrial wastewater are preferred strategies for combating with this concern. The objective of current study was evaluation in application of industrial ...  Read More

Responses of endogenous proline in rice seedlings under chromium exposure

X.Z. Yu; M.R. Lu

Volume 2, Issue 4 , December 2016, , Pages 319-326

https://doi.org/10.22034/gjesm.2016.02.04.001

Abstract
  Hydroponic experiments were performed to exam the dynamic change of endogenous proline in rice seedlings exposed to potassium chromate chromium (VI) or chromium nitrate chromium (III). Although accumulation of both chromium species in rice seedlings was obvious, more chromium was detected in plant tissues ...  Read More
