Granulation and calcination of alum sludge for the development of a phosphorus adsorbent: From lab scale to pilot scale.

Alum sludge, an Al-oxyhydroxide rich waste product from water treatment practices, has the potential to be valorized as a P adsorbent material. However, several challenges currently prevent its application as an adsorbent in industrial setting, i.e.

Genetic Analysis of Natural Variation in Scent Profiles Identifies BENZOIC ACID CARBOXYMETHYL TRANSFERASE As the Major Controlling Methyl Benzoate Synthesis.

The genus has a considerable complexity in the scent profiles produced by different species. We have analyzed the genetic differences between and , two species divergent in the emission of methyl benzoate, methyl cinnamate, acetophenone, and ocimene. The genetic analysis showed that all compounds segregated in a Mendelian fashion attributable to one or two with simple or epistatic interactions.
