Paracetamol biodegradation by activated sludge and photo-catalysis and its removal by a micelleclay complex, activated charcoal and reverse osmosis membranes
(Taylor & Francis, 2016-03-07)
Kinetic studies on the stability of the pain killer paracetamol in Al-Quds activated sludge demonstrated that paracetamol underwent biodegradation within less than one month to furnish p-aminophenol in high yields. ...
Phosphorus Use Efficiency of Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) and Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) Studied in Nutrient Solution
(David Publishing, 2012-11-20)
Safflower represents an important oil crop internationally and may have a production potential under low input conditions,
but its putatively high phosphorous use efficiency is not sustained. This study aims to directly ...
Performance of Micelle-Clay Filters for Removing Pollutants and Bacteria from Tertiary Treated Wastewater
(David Publishing, 2012-02-20)
Filters filled with a micelle-clay complex mixed with sand were employed to investigate their purification capability of
tertiary treated wastewater with loose UF-membranes. The UF membrane was hollow fiber with a molecular ...
Evaluation of the Effect of Packaging Materials and Storage Temperatures on Quality Degradation of Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Olives Grown in Palestine
(Science and Education Publishing, 2014-10-31)
The quality of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is intimately affected by packaging material and storage temperature. In this study, the influence of packaging materials and elevated temperature on EVOO quality was investigated ...
Evaluation of selected quality indicators of extra virgin olive oil bottled in different packaging materials upon storage under different lighting conditions
(David Publishing, 2013-05-20)
The effect of packaging materials and lighting conditions on quality of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) was investigated during
six months. The results highlighted an influence of light and type of packaging material on ...
Inland Treatment of the Brine Generated from Reverse Osmosis Advanced Membrane Wastewater Treatment Plant Using Epuvalisation System
(MDPI, 2013-07-03)
The reverse osmosis (RO) brine generated from the Al-Quds University
wastewater treatment plant was treated using an epuvalisation system. The advanced
integrated wastewater treatment plant included an activated sludge ...
Separation and identification of phenolics and flavonoids from wild Pistacia palaestina extract and its antioxidant activity
(2020-07-10)
An in-vitro evaluation of the antioxidant activities of wild Palestinian Pistacia palaestina extracts was
done. In parallel, the total phenolic content (TPC) and the total flavonoids content (TFC) were measured.
The ...
Evaluation of Mechanisms of Phosphorus Use Efficiency in Traditional Wheat Cultivars for Sustainable Cropping
(Science and Education Publishing, 2017-10-17)
In order to search for low input alternative wheat cultivars, this study aims to investigate the mechanisms of phosphorous (P) uptake and utilization efficiency of two traditional wheat cultivars as compared to a modern ...
Mechanisms of Phosphorous Uptake Efficiency of Safflower and Sunflower Grown in Different Soils
(Science and Education Publishing, 2017-09-05)
Plant species vary in their phosphorous (P) use efficiency under suboptimal P supplies using different strategies, but the mechanisms are not clearly documented for some alternative plant species. Safflower was considered ...
Effect of Frying Temperature and duration on the Formation of Trans Fatty Acids in Selected Fats and Oils
(Science and Education Publishing, 2017-11-14)
Trans fatty acids occur in food either naturally or produced during heat processing of food containing unsaturated fats. Naturally occurring trans fatty acids have different physiological and biological functions as compared ...
