Biomass

concentration flourished, while those without phosphorus became weaker (Gérard et.al, 2014). The reduction of phosphorus had negative impacts on the growth rates of lemna (Gérard et.al, 2014). The total biomass of the plants grown in high phosphorus concentrations was higher than the total biomass of the species grown in low phosphorus concentrations (Henry- Silva et.al, 2008). The addition of salt inhibits plant growth and the addition of phosphorus will increase plant growth. The combination…

up. This is a valuable task everyone should do, recycling helps the environment more than anyone could imagine. According to ReEnergy Holdings, “Our recycling facilities are creating biomass fuel that can be used at facilities like our renewable energy facilities. Our renewable energy facilities are using biomass fuel to generate electricity for use in the communities we serve.” The United States only uses about seven percent of their garbage to create renewable energy. To some this may not…

CaSO4 CaSO4 has the largest oxygen carrying capacity among all the currently proposed carriers. The oxygen ratio is 0.4706 for CaSO4-calcium sulphide (CaS), much higher than that of many other metal oxides such as CuO-Cu2O, NiO-Ni, and Fe2O3- Fe3O4. Calcium sulphate is a relatively stable material. It is a widespread natural resource and therefore the cost would be quite low even if the demand is high. Through the thermodynamic analysis, it seemed that CaSO4 can be used as a promising oxygen…

greatly affects the sustainability of harvesting the fishing stock because continuing to overfish in such a manor hinders the population’s ability to recover and may become depleted or locally extinct. This leads to a significant reduction in the biomass of a population (FAO,…

Anaerobic Digestion. A mixture of methane and carbon dioxide is called a biogas and it can be used for heating and can be used as a natural gas. Anaerobic treatment systems are divided into “high rate” systems involving biomass retention and “low rate” systems without biomass retention. High rate systems are characterized by a relatively short hydraulic retention time but long sludge retention time and can be used to treat many types of wastewater. Low rate systems are generally used to…

According to the Cloud Fraction map, I think that Africa has an arid climate in the north and south. In between is more humid as the year goes on. If you reduced cloud fraction levels to less than 25% then I would expect for there to be less vegetation and the climate to be arid in the places that seen to be humid, based off of the Cloud Fraction map. I think the precipitation levels to be low if the cloud fraction is low. To help support my claim, I looked at the maps and where there is low…

Discussion: The techniques used in this experiment are very useful for an efficient assessment of the quality of the habitat with regards to scavenging. This experiment is not costly with experimental apparatus and design. The high cost of achieving these consistent results is effort and time. The experimental set up required many participants to carry out the procedure however since each area was only studied for 40 min this is a relatively rapid assessment. The most dominant ant scavenger…

air pollution in the urban areas are from automobile exhaust. Observations of various tropospheric air pollutant such as CO, HCHO, NO2 and SO2 has revealed pollution on the global scale. CO has a significant portion from automobiles exhausts and biomass burning, air pollution by CO is very disturbing because of its effect on oxidation in the…

External & internal environment There are two types of environment of the marketing the external & internal environments. The external environment is involved of those variables which are the natural environment, societal environment and task environment. The societal environment includes general forces that do not directly touch on the short run activities of the organization but can influence its long –term these forces are the : economic forces , technological forces , political –legal…

Alternative Fuels Argumentative Essay — Hydrogen Power If one lived in a house and did nothing but throw trash everywhere, it would be no surprise that the house is a mess. In a way, people around the world do similar actions yet deny the effects of pollution, such as global warming, more intense natural disasters and climate change. The analogy referent is people using and acquiring fossil fuels continuously and polluting the atmosphere while some people deny this act and others live in…
