Applications of Sesame Residues as Sorbents for Oil Removal from Produced Water
Abstract: Large amounts of produced water are produced in tandem with the production of crude oil. Both dissolved and dispersed oil are present in produced water, which can contaminate the environment and pose health risks to people. In this study, the oil component, cadmium, and lead ions were extracted from the generated water using sesame residues and agricultural wastes. The sesame residues were dried, size-reduced, and ground. Standard techniques were used …

Microalgae in Bioremediation of Waste water and Production of Bioproducts
Abstract: Domestic wastewater treatment and remediation is an exclusive practice due to substantial time and scheduling needed for fruitful management. Recent waste water treatment plants are extremely mechanical and costly to build and sustain. Maximum of the domestic waste water is considered feeble or average in strength with nitrogen levels between 20–40 mg/L and phosphorus levels between 4–8 mg/L[3]. These concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus are unwanted as they can lead …

Tomato (Lycopersicon Esculentum Mill.) Yield and Yield Component Evaluation using Bottle Drip Irrigation in Yabello District, Southern Ethiopia
Abstract: Drip irrigation is the most proficient systems in supplying water to plant root but it still allows relatively high evaporation especially in clay soils. Thus identifying the high performing water delivering technology for limited water region is fundamental for high yield and water productivity. Bottle irrigation is more appropriate with not quantified results in these studies in saving water. The trials were replicated three times in RCBD for comprising of …

Assessment of Dam
Abstract: Stability of slope is the dominant parameter for construction of Dam. Slope gives bottom width. Morebottom width gives stability of dam. Normally, the bottom width of dam is taken as twice times of topwidth of dam (at least). Since maximum thrust of water is acting at bottom of dam (wh), where w = Unitweight of water (1000 Kg/m3), h = depth of water in meter, hence bottom width is taken …
