The process utilizes heat generated from the compressor end of the turbo-expander to provide heat energy required to maintain the appropriate operating conditions at the intermediate and bottom sections of the demethanizer column, rather than utilizing dedicated steam generators that requires additional construction, installation, operations and maintenance cost. Simultaneously, the temperature of the hot residue gas is also dropped to the required range for export, rather than utilizing dedicated process gas coolers. The various unit operations such as heat exchangers, liquid separators, Joules Thompson Valve coefficient, demethanizer column, reflux condenser, and bottom reboiler were designed, and cost evaluation performed for each unit, while models were solved using MatLab software. The quality and composition of NGL and residue gas produced are consistent with industrial process plant data. In addition, condenser and reboiler showed that the heat removed from the condenser is 3.180.5kW and 1.65m 2 area was exchanged, while the heat for the reboiler is 474.5kW at 47.25m 2 exchanged area. Also, the temperature profile of the demethanizer column is not uniform as lower temperature is required for the rectifying section (cryogenic absorption). Thus, temperature of -90 o C to – 95 o C favours the production of sales gas as the top product stream, while a temperature range of 30 o C to 36 o C at the bottom favours the recovery of NGL product as the bottom stream. The height and diameter of demethanizer column for distillation and absorption sections are 28m and 1.55m and 7.24m and 3m respectively.","PeriodicalId":9769,"journal":{"name":"Chemical and Process Engineering Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84870553","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

K agronomic efficiency indices decreased with increasing K rate. ZT SAS with 20 kg K ha –1 gave greater K agronomic efficiency than other combinations. ZT SAS with 60-80 kg potassium per hectare may be a sustainable and environmentally safe strategy to enhance cotton yield and soil fertility . from combined input of ZT with straw retained and k fertilizer application at 60 kg K ha -1 . This shows that retention of crop residues has led to the increase in the K contents of soil and microbial activity which is clear indication of an improvement in soil health (Pankhurst et al. 2002; Nie et al. 2007).

For this study, random samples were collected from the Ethiopian Institute of Agricultural Research, Debrezeit Agricultural Research Center, and Fresh Corner Poultry Farming Debrezeite, Ethiopia for the exotic and local breed eggs respectively. Eggshells and edible portion of the egg were analyzed for Calcium (Ca), Potassium (K), Phosphors (P), Sodium (Na), Magnesium (Mg), Iron (Fe), Zinc (Zn), Manganese (Mn), and Copper (Cu) contents. The Phosphors and Zinc contents of the edible egg portion were higher in the local breed eggs than in exotic breed eggs. Calcium and Magnesium content of the eggshell was higher in local breed eggs while Zn content showed a marked decrease. As far as Potassium, Magnesium, Sodium Phosphors, and Copper values were concerned, these did not differ between the eggs from local and exotic breed types. The present finding provides sizeable differences in mineral content between the eggs from the local and exotic breed hens. The results afford a point of departure measurements of major and trace mineral contents of eggs and suggest quantifiable differences amid eggs from hens in different husbandry systems, and hens breed types. The physiological significance of those differences is discussed. But, future studies should elucidate differences observed by crossbreed types, diet effect, and husbandry system.

Toxigenic fungi such as Aspergillus, Fusarium, and Penicillium create mycotoxins, which are secondary metabolites. Both people and animals are susceptible to their mutagenic, teratogenic, and carcinogenic effects. Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasitic generate the most potent mycotoxins, which are found in agricultural products such as peanuts, maize grains, cereals, and animal feed. The most common incidence and stability of these mycotoxins to physical and chemical variables during food and feed processing offer substantial health risks to humans and animals. As a result, the best way to deal with this condition is to use both natural and synthetic detoxification methods. The goal of this review is to look at how natural and synthetic chemical approaches can be used to control aflatoxins contamination and how they can be reduced. Antioxidants are compounds that help prevent or reduce cell damage caused by free radicals, which are unstable molecules produced by the body in response to environmental and other stresses. Oxidative stress, which causes DNA, protein, and lipid damage at the cell level, is one of AFB1's harmful mechanisms. Antioxidants have been used as food additives to defend against oxidative deterioration since they are known to prevent fungal formation. Among the various options, antioxidants are one of the control methods of mycotoxin and which are regulated as dietary supplements and food consumption components. To reduce the effect of toxicity, the best way to prevent aflatoxin prevalence in agricultural products is to make suitable harvesting and storage conditions, but if that is not possible, it is better to eat fermented foods (yogurt or dairy drinks) or take probiotics, which are available as capsules, tablets, or powders.","PeriodicalId":9769,"journal":{"name":"Chemical and Process Engineering Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75282336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Learning science is enhanced and the understanding level is improved when students are engaged in science laboratory for practical experiments. Since chemistry is a branch of science, it should be also assisted with practical activities. The current study aimed to assess the status of chemistry laboratory and practical activities in secondary and preparatory schools of East Gojjam zone. A random sampling technique was employed to collect data from students and chemistry teachers of the study area. Structured and semi-structured questionnaires and observation of laboratories was used. Both teacher’s and student’s response in the study area agree on the significance of practical laboratory works to learn chemistry is very high. The result shows as Grade 9 and grade 10 students never do practical work in the lab but grade 11 and grade 12 students sometimes conduct practical work in the lab. This may be one of the reasons why only 8,688 (11.5%) students have joined the natural science field according to the 2009E.C. East Gojjam Zone Educational Bureau report. Preparatory school students also conduct only few experimental activities among the experiment listed in their own chemistry text book. As teachers give the reasons on why laboratory work is not used to teach chemistry is because of lack of chemicals and apparatuses, fear of chemicals, lack of administration support, the lab is poorly organized, no time is allotted for practical lab work, practical lab work is not considered as a teaching load for teachers and lack of laboratory training on how to use laboratory to teach chemistry in high and preparatory schools. Generally the above problem hinders practical activities in the laboratory and makes students at secondary schools of the study area lack interest to join science class.

Pure PVA nanofibrous mats from mechanically stirred polymeric solutions at 8, 10 and 12 wt % PVA percents; and nanoclay added PVA nanofibrous mat samples are produced at increased nanoclay weight/ polymer weight ratios (1/13, 1/11, 1/9 and 1/6) using several mechanically stirred nanoclay-PVA solutions at various proportions of nanoclay and PVA polymer wt % in solutions. The viscosities, surface tensions and electrical conductivities of solutions were measured. FESEM (Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy) analysis, fiber diameter distribution with Image J software analysis and tensile testing was applied to nanofibrous samples. Increased polymer concentration led to bead-free nanofibrous PVA mats. EDX analysis approved nanoclay is present in samples produced from nanoclay added PVA solutions. Mechanical stirring for nanoclay dispersion enabled smooth nanofibrous structures only in low (1/13) nanoclay weight/ polymer weight ratios and showed very little tensile increase from 1 wt % clay loading to 2 wt % addition. A direct increase in tensile strength wasn’t achieved with nanoclay content increase in PVA nanofibrous mats; this might be due to the effect of poor nanoclay distribution adversely affecting tensile results. Morphological analysis proved that nanofibrous structures were far away from smooth fiber structures as they transformed from smooth nanofibers into non-uniform fibrous structures at increased nanoclay weight/ polymer weight ratios in nanoclay added PVA samples.
