Bagasse Pith

The treatment of sugarcane pith with various methods in order to upgrade its nutritive value and to increase the utilisation of its energy by ruminants has been widely employed in many parts of the world (Sansoucy et al. 1988). The aim of the experiment was to improve the nutritive value of sugarcane pith by a biological treatment and to assess the possibility of its maximum inclusion as a replacement with Lucerne hay in the diet of finishing Shal lambs.

Macro Nutrients

The cultivation and uses of trees is important and varied in many areas of the world. The benefits include soil improvement and stabilisation, shade for other plants, provision of wood and fodder for ruminant animals.Tree leaves are important sources of micro- and macro-nutrients for ruminants in many parts of the world including Nepal and Portugal especially when other plant fodders are scarce (Topps, 1992). Thus improvements in livestock production may benefit from an increased and/or selective use of tree fodders. The proximate composition and tannin (flavanol) content of plants including tree leaves, considerably influences the nutritive value (Goodchild & McMeniman, 1991; Kumar & Vaithiyanathan, 1990; Longstaff, et al.,1991; Makkar et al 1991).

High yields, efficient harvesting, sanitary and rapid processing, high quality distribution and retailing — factors which any country should be proud of. However, for some strange reason these are the very factors that are coming under attack by a vociferous group of individuals who seem bent on destruction of American Food Technology as we know it today. The reasons for the screams of outrage hurled at this Technology escape logical analysis. In this country today we have the potential to be the best fed people in the history of the world with the products at our disposal. Food is now not only nutritious, but it is safe, convenient, of high quality, flavorful, and presented to the consumer at a cost, relative to earnings, which is competitive with any other country in the world at any other time in history, or the present. It is a gross injustice for consumers to have their confidence in the safety and nutritive value of their food supply destroyed without presenting them with all the facts. Perhaps it is necessary to present all the realities of nutrition to the consumer rather than simply to mention nutrients. Perhaps it is time for science and technology to present the facts of an overpopulated-underenergized world to the American consumers who take for granted the food supply at their disposal without an understanding of the technology it involves. It is ludicrous to believe in the natural way. A morally responsible usage of technology, not a profit-at-any-cost technology is the way to solve the hunger problems of the world. This information must be conveyed to the consuming public as a part of a nutrition education if we are to have a well fed and healthy nation without paranoia about its food supply.

The landfill is the most widely utilized approach for solid waste management over the world. The fluid side-effect of the procedure, leachate, is a genuine danger to the earth. The ordinary biological treatment of matured landfill leachate is restricted by the presence of toxic contaminants and recalcitrant organics. A novel approach for management of landfill leachate by Electro Fenton process is researched here for the technical feasibility. The experimental outcome demonstrated that there was extensive reduction in COD-78.2%, Ammonia nitrogen-42.0%, Chloride-63.5%, Sulfate-60.0%, Sulfide-57.3%, and Phosphate-62.4% at the optimum working state of pH-2.85, Current density-140.5 A/m2, H2O2 dosage- 53% of theoretical value, Reaction time-44min. The biodegradability index was enhanced from 0.21 to 0.43 because of the treatment. The examination not just uncovers the likelihood of degradation of contaminants by giving a mild electrochemical treatment additionally extends the possibility of utilizing the approach as a compelling pretreatment for its biological treatment.

High Rate Algal Ponds

High rate algal ponds are an important process of biological treatment used either for domestic sewage or food industries effluents and to produce single cell proteins. The results refer to the efficiency of treatment of wastewaters from the tomato concentrate industry and determination of the chemical composition of “Albazod” (microbial biomass) harvested in a pilot system of high rate algal ponds installed in the Department of Environmental Engineering, Faculty of Sciences and Technology, New University of Lisbon, at Monte da Caparica. Depending on the detention time and period of the year, the following removal efficiencies were obtained: COD 68.1 – 94.6%; TOD 57.6 – 85.0%; N-NH4+ 89.4 – 96.2%; colour 29.6 – 91.7% and turbidity 37.2 – 92.7%. Albazod separated from the effluent has a high nutritive value for low detention times (crude protein values of 31.50% and 30.75% dry matter for 4 days and 5 days of detention time, respectively). The highest productivity value was 30.82 g of dry matter/m2/day and was obtained for a detention time of 4 days.

All around the world, activated sludge is the classical and traditional biological wastewater treatment for municipal and industrial wastewater. With the development of social and technology, the concentration of pollutants has been increased, so the performance of the old wastewater treatment plants not guaranteed. Therefore, upgrade and reconstruction wastewater treatment system becomes the main task of protection environment, especially in the developing countries. Application biofilms in process biological wastewater treatment is one of technology method and it has many advantages. In the Sequencing Batch Reactor, the Mutag BioChip 25TM provides to the bacteria an optimal habitat at the surface area, increasing rate of Utilization of Substrates 20 – 30% and efficiency of organic matter removal from 10 – 15%.
