The conventional extraction techniques used in processing the SW lead to the generation of abundant wastewater during demineralization and deproteination (Islam et al.2004). This wastewater contains significant amounts of calcium and proteins (Bataille and Bataille1983; Lee et al.2017). Unfortunately,...
On both Mars and Venus, carbon dioxide is by far the most abundant gas in the atmosphere. On Earth it is a minor constituent. But there is an enormous amount of this compound buried in the sedimentary rocks of Earth's crust, enough so that, if it were all released, our atmosphere ...
BVOC accounts for approximately 90% of the total VOC50, and anthropogenic NOxcontributes 77% to the global budget51. High HCHO emissions indicate reactive VOC emissions owing to their faster oxidation. Because isoprene (of biogenic origin) is the most abundant reactive VOC globally, the highest d...
abundant species, and rich genetic variety. As one of the most biodiverse countries in the world, China has a profound understanding of biodiversity, as manifest in traditional Chinese culture and these aphorisms:“Man is an int...
Glucose is the most abundant monosaccharide, serving as an essential energy source for cells in all domains of life and as an important feedstock for the biorefinery industry. The plant-biomass-sugar route dominates the current glucose supply, while the direct conversion of carbon dioxide into gluco...
The protosteroids reveal an ecologically prominent ‘protosterol biota’ that was widespread and abundant in aquatic environments from at least 1,640 to around 800 million years ago and that probably comprised ancient protosterol-producing bacteria and deep-branching stem-group eukaryotes. Modern ...
Water is the most abundant substance in our world. It has one of the simplest possible chemical formulas: two hydrogen atoms attached to one oxygen... Animals that Challenge the Freezing Temperatures 01 January 2005 | Cemil Demir | Issue 49 (January - March 2005) One of the natural condit...
Among PPCPs, limited data are available for organic ultraviolet filter chemicals (UV-Fs) and synthetic fragrance materials (FMs) in the air. Galaxolide (HHCB) and tonalide (AHTN) were the two most abundant FMs in the air and have been detected in ship-bound air samplers from the European...
in many animals (including humans), and much more resistant to breakdown. For this reason, cellulose is a structural material in plants, rather than an energy store. Because it makes up the cell walls for the majority of plant cells, it is also the most abundant biopolymer on Earth. ...
2011). Electrostatic interactions are the most common adsorption mechanism during the binding of nanobiochar to organic pollutants (Abbas et al. 2018; Zheng et al. 2013). The solution pH largely determines the strength of the electrostatic force and whether it is attractive or repulsive (see ...
