Improved fertiliser management to reduce the greenhouse-gas emissions and ensure yields in a wheat-peanut relay intercropping system in China.

Over the last century, anthropogenic greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions have changed the global climate, and agriculture plays an important role in the global flux of GHG. Agricultural management practices, such as split N applications and the use of controlled-release fertilisers have significantly increased the crop yield and N-use efficiency by balancing the N demand of crops […]

Green production of hydrochar nut group from waste materials in subcritical water medium and investigation of their adsorption performance for Crystal Violet.

This study evaluates the production of hydrochars from the outer shells of the nut group (peanut, hazelnut, walnut, and pistachio) in an eco-friendly SWM medium and their effects as adsorbents on the removal of crystal violet (CV) from an aqueous solution. The prepared hydrochars were characterized using Brunauer Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis, scanning electron microscope (SEM), […]

Utilization of shell-based agricultural waste adsorbents for removing dyes: A review.

Dye existence in the water body adversely impacts the habitat and the quality of the aquatic system. Considering different physical and chemical methods, adsorption is a propitious substitute for extracting dyes from wastewater specifically due to its performance, high selectivity, less expense, clear operation, and existence in a broad area of experimental circumstances. These benefits […]

Pulsed Light (PL) Treatments on Almond Kernels: Salmonella enteritidis Inactivation Kinetics and Infrared Thermography Insights.

Extending the shelf-life and ensuring microbiological safety of food products while preserving the nutritional properties are key aspects that must be addressed. Heat processing of food matrices has been the golden standard during the last decades, while certain non-thermal processing options have recently gained ground. In the present study, experimental pulsed light (PL) surface inactivation […]
