Enhancing the production of biogas through anaerobic co-digestion of agricultural waste and chemical pre-treatments by Almomani F.

“…The results revealed that the highest cumulative methane production (CMP) of 297.99 NL/kgVS can be generated by co-digestion of ASWs and CD at a ratio of 60:40. Further improvement was achieved via alkalinity treatment with 1.0 g of NaHCO3/gVS leading to decrease in lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose contents of feedstock by 3.5%, 10.5% and 15.9%, respectively, converting them to soluble fractions and improving the CMP by 11.2–29.7% based on substrate quality. …”

Effects of soaking, acidity and temperature on cadmium and lead removal from rice by Al-Naimi M.

“…Results showed that few samples have shown lead concentrations above the maximum limit set by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of 0.2 mg/kg, whereas, all cadmium concentrations were below the limit of 0.4 mg/kg. A decrease in lead and cadmium concentrations were observed with increasing time of soaking. …”
