Table of content Introduction: The wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) of Amul effluent treatment plant, Dist. Anand having capacity to treat 400 KL/day of wastewater. A general systematic flow diagram of WWTP is shown in figure. The system was designed to handle to treat wastewater having high organic content and suspended solids. The heart of the system is Aerobic biological reactor. The system was designed to handle BOD at 20°C of 800 mg/L and Suspended Solids (SS) 250…

How does unused motor oil affect the percent germination of Romaine Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. var. longifolia) seeds? Research Question How does unused motor oil affect the percent germination of Romaine Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. var. longifolia) seeds? Background Germination in seeds is when the seed coat breaks revealing the embryo or sprout of the plant (Biology Online). For a seed to properly germinate it must have water, oxygen, and the correct temperature (BBC). Each type of seed has…

The kinetics of the reaction between peroxomonosulphate with Lactic acid was studied in the presence of Mn(II) at alkaline pH. The reaction followed first order with respect to peroxomonosulphate. The rate of the reaction was studied under pseudo first order condition and found to increases with the [Mn(II)] and lactic acid. Thermodynamic parameters were calculated and reported. Based on the results a rate equation, kinetic scheme and a most probable mechanism has been predicted. Keywords: Alpha…

CHAPTER 1 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND OF STUDY The production of food is basically through agricultural activities and by livestock. The amount of food produced is directly related with the relationship established between the species of interest for production and the other plant, animal, microbial and parasitic biological systems that compete for resources available in the environment (Ueta et al., 1997). Among the species that threaten the agricultural production there are the weeds that,…

Spectrophotometry is a method in which organic and inorganic substances are identified or characterized by the use of electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic radiation not only includes light (or photons), but thermal energy as well. While the electromagnetic spectrum consists of wavelengths between gamma radiation and the Far IR, most spectrophotometric methods rely on the UV and visible region. In order to use spectrophotometric methods, the sample being analyzed must be able to absorb the…

Residual water, due to the slight solubility of water and dichloromethane, will be present in the extract and can be dried by using an anhydrous sodium sulfite, which is an insoluble inorganic solid that will absorb water thus drying the extract (Postu & Wilson,…

Food Production In the United States On average an adult in the United States will eat about 1,825 lbs. of food each year. To provide food to over 300 million consumers, a lot of procedures must be conducted and followed. This demand has altered the ways of food production. “The average meal has ingredients that have traveled 1,500 miles to our table” (Smith 2). All these ingredients came from a farm. Mass producing food has made local farmers disappear. This disappearance has caused food more…

yield energy by oxidizing organic fuels Catabolic pathways and production of ATP Fermentation - occurs without O2, is partial degradation of sugars to release energy Aerobic respiration - uses O2 in breakdown of glucose (or other energy-rich organic compounds) to yield CO2 and H2O and release energy as ATP and heat Of some prokaryotes - doesn’t use O2 as a reactant but it 's a similar process Cellular respiration - usually used to refer to aerobic process Is exergonic and has a free…

vitamin D), antioxidants (e.g. vitamin E), and mediators of cell signaling and regulators of cell and tissue growth and differentiation (e.g. vitamin A). The largest number of vitamins (e.g. B complex vitamins) function as precursors for enzyme cofactor bio-molecules (coenzymes), that help act as catalysts and substrates in metabolism. When acting as part of a catalyst, vitamins are bound to enzymes and are called prosthetic groups. For example, biotin is part of enzymes involved in making…

“Mystery creates wonder and wonder is the basis of man’s desire to understand.” - Neil Armstrong, the man who first set his foot on the moon, then a distant object and a source of awe; and it is in this quest of surmounting the unconquered and taming the wild which denotes man’s insatiate desire to understand Nature. Evolution has been the fundamental reason for progress of life on earth and the eclectic strategies employed by Mother Nature in the eternal perpetuation of the process are simply…
