Development of a novel green waste compost stability monitoring method using the CIELAB color model

by

Dimosthenis Tsivas et al. View all

Solid Waste Management

Compost stability is an essential parameter of composting. Recent studies have shown that the color of compost is influenced by the initial characteristics of the main organic substrates. In this study, the progression of CIELAB color variables and typical compost stability and maturity indices were...

A Critical probation for potentiality of bio-fuel with exquisite concoction of natural anti-oxidant additive in engines for pollutants reduction

by

Sithivinayagam N et al. View all

Air Quality

Considering the present global fuel scenario, it becomes highly inevitable to opt for biofuel. Yet the use of biodiesel had increased pollutants which are emitted to the atmosphere such as Carbon monoxide, Unburnt Hydrocarbon, Nitrogen oxides and Smoke density in the combustion products. For this...

Effectiveness of corn stalk biochar in amending the contaminated soil attributes and enhancing the sustainable grass growth

by

Ditta A. et al. View all

Environmental Management and Policies

It is important to rapidly amend the hostile rural soil fertility and quality to develop green land verdure. In this research, cornstalk-derived biochar was added (sequence proportions 0, 1, 5, 10, 20, and 50 % in the mass ratio) into hostile rural soil and then the grass was grown in the pots. The...
