Analysis of Soil Properties of Ponds in Sabang Block Areas, West Bengal, India | Chapter 17 | New Visions in Biological Science Vol.9

 The study's goal was to assess the routine application of a commercially available and naturally occurring method for improving pond soil quality. So, in the year of the studies, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium were not detrimental to the carps' growth. Bacteria can be found in a variety of environments, including fresh water, soil, air, and seawater. Bacteria have different personalities based on their surroundings. As a result, periphyton bacteria in different zones have diverse characteristics. However, the study focused on soil analysis in Sabang block regions' fresh water ponds. The investigation lasted roughly a year in the Sabang block areas. In a bucket, soil was collected. This soil was gathered from five ponds in the Sabang block (Ghat pond, Dhara pond, Majari pond, Nandan pond, and Masanta pond). The ponds were divided into two categories: control and experimental. This pond was stocked with semi-dried cow dung. We used a variety of techniques in this experiment. The nitrogen, available phosphorus, and available potassium levels in the pond bottom soil were measured using AOAC standard procedures (1980). However, after treatment, the nitrogen level in all of the experimental ponds increased dramatically. When it comes to enhancing pond productivity, phosphorus is crucial. Potassium isn't a limiting element, and it's not necessary to boost output. The generation of free hygienic fish in ponds is the future scope.

Determination of Some Biochemical Indices in Catfish from Rivers, Swamp and Commercial Fish Ponds in Oil and Non-oil Polluted Areas in Rivers and Anambra States, Nigeria: A Comparative Assessment | Chapter 9 | New Innovations in Chemistry and Biochemistry Vol. 4

 The ability of activated carbon (CSAC) and polypyrrole coated sawdust (PPy/SD) obtained from the fruit of Cordia sebestena's gardening plant material to adsorb acid orange -7 from aqueous solutions was examined. The adsorption method is a viable treatment option, particularly if the adsorbent is affordable and easily available. Variations in experimental parameters such as pH, initial dye concentration, contact time, and temperature were used to conduct batch mode adsorption investigations. The kinetic data for both adsorbents was analysed using pseudo first order and pseudo second order models at various concentrations and temperatures. Freundlich and Langmuir models were used to analyse the equilibrium data. Thermodynamic research were also taken into consideration. Finally, CSAC's performance was compared to that of PPy/SD. The experimental results showed that PPy/SD is more effective than CSAC at removing Acid Orange 7 from aqueous solutions.
