Agricultural Waste Processing

This study presents the adsorption process of methylene blue and other organic pigments in water samples using synthetic materials derived from agricultural waste combined with Fe3O4. The properties of the materials were determined through Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherm.

Agricultural wastes can be converted into biofuels. To meet the requirements of biofuels, the conditions of their manufacturing process for these products must be considered. The purpose of this research is to optimize experimental designs for converting biomass into energy products like pyrolysis and pelleting process. The products were optimized in terms of their energy performance while lowering CO2 emissions.

About 0.5 ton of coffee pulp is generated for each ton of coffee cherry processed. In the present study, this waste was investigated as a source of pectin. Coffea arabica L. pulp was dried, treated with ethanol and the pectin extracted with 0.1 M HNO3 (14.6 % yield). Chromatographic, colorimetric and spectroscopic methods were used for pectin characterization.

This review paper summarizes the best method for the utilization of agricultural wastes as raw material for the production of bioethanol. Agricultural wastes are rich in sugar and complex carbohydrates that makes it suitable source to carry out the fermentation process. Bioethanol is widely used in industries such as, chemical, pharmaceutical and food for various purposes especially as sterilizer.

In this research, rice husk, abandoned and available agriculture waste, were developed into activated carbon using microwave methods. The optimal experimental parameters such as pH, contact time, activated carbon dose, and temperature were investigated. The activated carbon was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis. The maximum adsorption capacities toward methylene blue was 6.13 mg g-1 . The experimental data fitted the Freundlich equation well, although the Langmuir equation could also describe them.

The microorganisms have been introduced to describe the process of using biological agents to remove toxic contamination from agricultural lands. Microorganisms are the most effective management tool to manage the polluted environment and recover contaminated soil. The hazardous wastes generated from the chemical processes/operations are being treated using biological methods by meet the prescribed standard as per the Environmental Protection Act, 1986.

This study, therefore, aimed to investigate the application of biochar from agricultural wastes to remove the excess nitrogen in domestic wastewater. In particular, this work examined the utilization of biochar obtained from coffee husk pyrolyzed at 350 oC to adsorb ammonium. Besides, adding biochar could be a simple and effective method for the initiation of activated sludge granulation to facilitate the treatment of low C/N ratio wastewater.

The by-products obtained from the coconut industry goes out as waste and pollute the environment, if not properly managed. In order to convert these by-products such as coir pith and coco peat into a natural organic resource, it is processed and utilized as an economical input in agriculture as well as in horticulture. Processed coir pith is used as an excellent soil amendment because of its favourable physical properties in maintaining soil health.

Day by day the global environmental pollution is becoming one of the major problems. Dairy is one of the major agricultural industry components. The dairy industry effluent without any treatment plays significant risk for public health and environmental pollution mostly in developing countries because all milk is processed industrially.

Crop production and livestock both are most important aspects of agriculture. Because in farming systems based on mixed crop livestock the waste or by product of one system is used as input to second system. Soil-fertility depletion in smallholder farms is the main biophysical process explaining the impact of climate change on decline in per capita food production. At farm scale, however, it becomes evident that the set of processes leading to soil- fertility depletion is not homogeneously distributed in space.

In eco-friendly management of soil borne plant diseases the T. viride plays an important role. Traditionally T. viride is multiplied on solid and liquid fermentation. Solid fermented biomass of Trichoderma consisted mainly of chlamydospores and conidia with some amount of mycelia fragments. High costs of substrate and storage methods are major problems in accelerate the production. Therefore, experiments were carried out to screen out locally available agricultural wastes and grains for solid fermentation process.
