Synergistic effects of cellulolytic and pectinolytic enzymes in degrading sugar beet pulp
TL;DR: In this article, three cellulases, one hemicellulase and three pectinases were used, separately or in binary and ternary combinations, to hydrolyze dried beet-pulp, a byproduct of the sugar industry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Zeolite synthesis from pre-treated coal fly ash in presence of soil as a tool for soil remediation
TL;DR: In this article, the synthesis of zeolites from pre-treated coal fly ash in presence of a natural agricultural soil was studied for a period of 6 months at 30 and 60 °C.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanochemical removal of organo-chlorinated compounds by inorganic components of soil
TL;DR: The catalytic efficiency of two metal oxides, ferrihydrite and birnessite and of a ferruginous smectite, towards organic molecules such as 4-chloroaniline, pentachlorophenol, and five polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) characterised by different number and position of chlorine atoms is evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fractionation of sugar beet pulp into pectin, cellulose, and arabinose by arabinases combined with ultrafiltration.
TL;DR: Semicontinuous hydrolysis with enzyme recycling in an ultrafiltration unit was also carried out to separate arabinose, pectin, and cellulose from beet pulp in 7 cycles of hydrolytic followed by ultra filtration.

TL;DR: Direct mercury (Hg) speciation was assessed for soil samples with a Hg concentration ranging from 7 up to 240 mg kg(-1), and all the observed Hg-species originated from the slow weathering of an inert H gcontaining waste material dumped in the area several years ago, which is changing into a relatively more dangerous source of pollution.
