This research aimed to study some chemical characteristics of rainwater in the region
located at the East of Baniyas area the coastal region of Syria . Baniyas area contain
complex of industrial facilities including oil refinery, electrical power g
eneration station
and oil transportation. pH values, concentration of trace metals (Pb, Cu, and Cd) and major
ions (Ca2+, Mg 2⁺, Na⁺, NH₄⁺, K⁺,SO₄2-, NO3⁻, Cl⁻, F⁻) were determined during the period
from October 2012 to May 2013.
Samples were collected from 15 sites differ in distances from the emissions sources.
Most of samples have normal pH value. The pH values decreased while the concentration
of SO₄2-, NO3⁻, and trace metals Pb, Cu, Cd increased significantly by getting closer to
emission source up on 2500m. The changes of the chemical characteristics of rainwater
were significant.
The changes in coefficient of distribution of lead and cupper has been studied in
system with two phases, liquid water contaminated with lead and copper-solid (natural
Phosphate of Syria) correlation of the following factors: Time of mixing phases,
size of the
developed steel ,change the values of PH ,concentration of elemental lead and
concentration of element capper ,the concentration of calcium as a competitor to the
occupation of sites available on the solid phase, the ratio V\m presents the water phase size
on the mass of phase ,the Percentage removal of lead from aqueous samples prepared in
the laboratory91,57-99,95% were the best conditions for a vast proportion removed can be
summarized as follows:
PH=[6,63-10,11], Time of mixing phases =60 minutes and V/m=1000.
The Percentage removal of copper from aqueous samples prepared in the
laboratory 95,27 -99,96 % were the best conditions for a vast proportion removed can be
summarized as follows:
PH= [7,89-11,01] , Time of mixing phases =60 minutes and V/m=1000.
Ideal conditions have been applied that were obtained according to laboratory tests
on water samples from industrial input to Banias refinery and water samples from
industrial drainage to Syrian company for oil transport after Removal for lead was(
100%,99 %). Removal for copper was( 100%,98 %) .
Effect of different degrees of temperature, different levels of pH , different periods of
light and four media (PDA, OMA, MEA, CzA) was studied in vitro against the growth of
C. gloeosporioides causing anthracnose disease of citrus fruits. The resu
lts indicated that
the growth of fungus was maximum at temperature 30°C and at pH = (5.5,6,6.5), and Light
was unnecessary for the growth of C. gloeosporioides. Among the different media tested
PDA and OMA supported the maximum growth of fungus.
In order to implement this research soil profiles selected on a toposequence
were systematically collected from different geohorizons. Results indicated that
topographical factors played important roles in determining some soil features
such as th
e depth, texture distribution of CaCO3 and the fertility matter. The
study showed that the soil content of minor element was ranged between
moderate to low, and this may be related to the mineralogical composition of
the parent rock and weathering status and to the use of these elements by the
plants uptake during the long lasting exploitation. The results also indicated
that the decrease of these elements was consistent with the decrease of
elevation, such as heading from the slop to the plain. This probably also due to
the relation between the leaching process and topographical position and to a
less extend to the pH of the soil.
A pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the relative agronomic
effectiveness (RAE%) of a Syrian phosphate rock when it is added alone and as
mixture with elemental sulfur with three different ratios (PR:S) (2:1) (5:1) (8:1)
and compared with tr
iple superphosphate. The main results of this study
showed that Ain Layloun phosphate rock was not effective for direct use by
Rye grass when used alone, but it became effective when mixed with elemental
sulfur. The relative agronomic effectiveness was varied following mixing ratios,
it was 50%, 76% and 87% in (8:1), (5:1) and (2:1) (PR:S) mixing ratios
respectively. This is due to the increase of available soil phosphorus content
which is related to the increase of phosphate rock solubility due to decrease of
pH derived from oxidation of sulfur by Thiobacillus spp.
During the season of 2002, samples of olive fruit were taken (Ashrasi type)
from Ninavah horticulture’s station that belongs to the ministry of agriculture
in Iraq. The purpose of this research is to study some physical and chemical
characteristic
s during the growing period, from July until October. Those
characteristics include moisture, ash, oil content, chlorophyll A & B, protein,
pH and carbohydrate, In addition to fruit length, size, weight, radius, and
rigidity. The results showed significant increase in moisture, oil, weight, size
and length of the fruit were studied. Significant reduction was noticed in the
percentages of the protein, carbohydrate, ash and the fruit rigidity. The highest
values of chlorophyll were observed during The month of September. October
considered as the best time to harvest olive fruits for pickle purpose.
The aim of this study is to highlight some of the soil characteristics in the
area of Daher Aljabal (Sowaida), in particular, the morphological, physical,
chemical, and fertility aspects.
To achieve these objectives, five soil profiles were select
ed on a
toposequence, the profiles were described and bulk samples were systematically
collected.
The characterization of the studied soils reveals that:
-The soils area formed from the original basaltic parent materials, and the
topographical position plays a prominent role in the development and depth of
the soil profiles, and the differences in particle size distribution.
hybrid commercial chicks (Hubbard Flex) were A total of /450/
reared from 1 to 42 days of age. Chicks were distributed into five
groups; each group contained 90 birds within three replicates. Five
diets were used; the first was the traditional die
t (control group) and
the others differed in the growth promoters added and were as
following: nutritional antibiotic (Lincomycin) for the second group,
probiotic (Bacillus subtilis) for the third group, prebiotec (manna
oligosaccharide) for the forth group and finally a mixture of organic
acids for the fifth group.
The research aims to study is to study the effect of the pH factor of Pterocladia
capillacea on agar yield and some of its physical properties using different degrees of pH
(4- 5.5 - 5.5 - 6.5 - 7.5 - 7.5 - 8). The maximum yield of agar was 37.45%
at pH = 5 and
562g / cm2 and viscosity 10.7cP and 15.45% at pH = 8 with the highest strength of 768 g
/cm2 and viscosity of cP 156. The degree of melting and melting of agar Between (22-
33.5 οC) and (75- 86 οC), respectively.
