a characteristic choking odor. The sulfites of Na+, K+, and NH4+ are soluble in water. Most other sulfites are insoluble in water. However, due to the basic nature of SO32-, all sulfites dissolve in acidic solution. Sulphites may occur in natural waters or wastewaters as a result of industrial pollution and in treatment plant effluents dechlorinated with sulphur dioxide. Control of sulphite ion in wastewater treatment and discharge may be important environmentally, mainly because of its toxicity…

In conducting the diffusion of 4 different kinds of treatments (distilled water, distilled water placed in boiling bath, vegetable oil, heated vegetable oil), the researchers made use of the atsuete and sugar beets. The different kinds of treatments determined how the temperature will affect the color intensity of the atsuete and sugar beets. There were 4 test tubes used in each atsuete and sugar beets with each having a different treatment as seen in (fig 1) and (fig 2). The color intensity in…

mineral (PIRSA, 2005). Technologies used to enhance the performance of water quality and to prevent AMD in Brukunga mines is the use of engineered sulfate-reducing bacterial systems and is developed by BioteQ and THIOPAQ. This technology contain a high rate of bioreactor to reduce the sulfate and transform into sulfide or sulfur. The metalloids which form insoluble sulfides (arsenic, cadium etc.) are removed as well as the produce water from sulfate in accordance to this operation. Since 1990,…

making a salt water solution, sea water was used. For the sugar water, 2 M Glucose was used and it was diluted to 0.5 M glucose. First, the 15 choice chambers were set up, then, the planarians were separated in the containers. Ten planarians were put onto each side of one container. One of these containers includes two separate sides. The planarians were separated by using a Pasteur pipet. Three different variables were tested. The three types of variables were sugar vs. sea water, sugar vs.…
