TLDR
In this article, preliminary investigations into the possible use of Moringa oleifera seed suspension for softening of hardwater are presented, which is due to adsorption with the adsoration isotherm approximating to the Langmuir type, and conversion of soluble hardness-causing ions to insoluble products by precipitation reactions.About:

Kinetic model of autotrophic denitrification in sulphur packed-bed reactors.
A. Koenig,L.H. Liu +1 more
TL;DR: Experimental results show that autotrophic denitrification rates in upflow sulphur packed-bed reactors can be described by a half-order kinetic model for biofilms, and a comparison with the literature showed that the half- order reaction rate constants for Autotrophic Denitrification using elemental sulphur are approximately one order of magnitude lower than those of heterotrophicDenitrification.
