The linear alkyl benzene sulfonate is organic pollutants resulting from uses of detergents types. I have conducted several studies on the Mediterranean to monitor the concentrations of these pollutants, however, little is known about the fate of the
environment and the effect of environmental factors on the degradation these compounds.
In this research laboratory to conduct a study of the degradation of alkyl benzene sulfonate compounds under different conditions, during the period from September to November 2007 period cuddling continued for three months, and storage the samples in different conditions, (Laboratory conditions presence of light, laboratory conditions in isolation from the light at 25 C° and 15 C°) were identified in total concentration of LAS hydrological and specifications according to the following program:(0-1-3-5-7-14-21-30-45-60-90) day.
The results showed decrease total concentration of compounds LAS with the passage of time cuddling, compounds change specifications hydrological water by the biodegradation of the vital processes of photosynthesis taking place in aqueous media.
The aim of this study is to highlight the potential use of marine algae as well as polypropylene for the removal of crude oil from surface seawater.
The determination of optimal sorption time and sorption capacity of the materials in oil/water bath
and oil bath without water in presence of three oils of different viscosity were investigated. The capacity of oil removal from seawater was related to structure and surface properties as well as oil amount and oil properties especially, its viscosity.
The results revealed that the extension of absorption time does not influence absorption capacity of the examined sorbents in presence of both oils of low and middle viscosity (LV and MV). Nevertheless, the sorption capacity was increased by extending the absorption time to 30 min. For high viscose oil (HV). The sorption capabilities of Enteromorpha exceeded those observed for all of the other algae, while polypropylene fiber showed the highest capacity. Overall, the sorption capacity of the studied sorbents increased with increasing oil viscosity. The absorption capacities of studied materials in the oil bath and oil/water bath were comparable.
The results suggested that substitution of synthetic oil sorbents used in Syria by marine algae is possible in oil removal, which have relatively high sorption capacity.
In this study, we review the possibility of production both ethanol and methanol from
OMW(OMW: Olive Mill Wastewater), fermented using pathogenic bacteria and isolated
marine bacteria. The results showed that when using Salmonella sp. bacteria, the
highest
values of methanol (5658.308 μg /l) appear at 7.5% concentration of the OMW, and the
higher concentration of ethanol (49.132 μg/l) at a concentration of 17.5% fermentation of
OMW. While Pseudomonas sp. produced the highest concentration of methanol (603.76μ
g/l) and ethanol (688.71μg /l) at 17.5% for OMW.
The results of this research showedthe ability of the bacteria isolated from sea water
in producing the above mentioned alcohols; for example the X3 bacteria displayed a direct
correlation between high concentrations of OMW (15 , 35 , 50)% and the high
concentrations of produced methanol (UL, 130.406μg/l, 1353.244μg/l ), apposite to
ethanol which was under the detection limits (under limited: UL).
A morphological , anatomical and chemical study was carried out on Salvia viridis
L. (Lamiaceae) . The results showed presence of two types of trichomes :
- Glandular hairs with four or eight celled globular heads or with oval heads .
- Eglandular
hairs which are unicellular or multicellular , in addition to presence of
candle shaped eglandular hairs .
The palynological study revealed that the pollen grains were prolate and they had six
germination lines , exine appeared reticulate .
The extraction of volatile oils have been done by dry evaporation using GC/MS
technique , chromatographic analysis of these extracts have showed the presence of
complex of carboxylic acids , hydrocarbons , terpenes , esters and aldehydes .
This research focuses on determining elemental concentrations of copper and lead
(Cu &pb) in the muscles and liver Boops boops kind of the estuary of the AL Kabeer
Alshemaly River and the fishing port and the promenade using atomic absorption
tech
nique.
The results showed a significant increase in the concentrations of lead during
summer 2014 in each of the muscle tissue and the liver of the fish examined (28.28ppm&
4.48ppm, respectively) at the mouth of the estuary of the AL Kabeer Alshemaly River and
the fishing port and the promenade (11.19ppm& 3.75ppm, respectively), and this could be
due to the different nature of human activities and sources of pollution to this element
between the two regions.
The results showed a marked seasonal change in the concentration of copper within
the liver tissue of fish studied, where the highest concentration in the fishing port and the
promenade( 5630.02 ppm) in autumn 2014, the Supreme( 3402.27ppm) value in the AL
Kabeer Alshemaly River the estuary of summer. While the results did not show the
variable in concentrations of copper in muscle . Theconcentrations were comparable
between the two stations somewhat, with the highest concentrations in the summer in
Bouth the fishing port and the promenade 1497.70ppm) and(1107.91 ppm) the AL Kabeer
Alshemaly River.
Results indicate that the accumulation of the studied elements (Cu &pb) in the liver
compared to muscle (and the reason is boiled physiological differences in the functions of
each of the two members) and to the existence of a good correlation between the
concentration in the muscle changes with the typical length of which points to increased
accumulation of these elements in these fish with increased growth,Noting the high
concentration of the studied elements in females more than those recorded in males.
This research focuses on an environmental and economic aspect, as it depends on using the harmful water hyacinth weed as an effective material to product the biopolymer "polyhydroxybutyrate: PHB" by Bacillus subtilis. The samples were processed and d
igested to extract the polymer polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) using chloroform method. Some tests were carried out to confirm the identity of this polymer, such as measuring the melting point of the product and studying the functional groups of the extracted PHB using the Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The results obtained by the extracted polymer from the water hyacinth weed showed conformity to the referential PHB polymer tests, which shows the importance of this research in determining a way to get rid of this harmful weed, which is an environmental problem and a large economic burden by investing it in the production of biopolymer PHB.
