A new imine-Schiff base adsorbent is prepared from extracted chitosan to make taking away exoskeletons of crustacean shrimp shells low-cost and environmentally friendly with the fast and high ability to remove Cr (III) from aqueous solution. The resulting composites were verified by different techniques FTIR, H-NMR, FESEM, EDX, XRD. On applying the adsorption kinetic model, the pseudo 2^nd order model was best characterised, using adsorption equilibrium data; the Langmuir model provided a superior description. Further, the negative value of ∆G shows a spontaneous process in nature. Finally, the prepared adsorbent has been applied to a real sample of bodybuilder supplements.

This experiment was carried out during season of 2020 and 2021 at Erbil governorate to study the forage and grain yield performance of three maize hybrids Zea mays L. as influenced by irrigation skipping at different times. The experiment was laid out in split-plot design with three replications. The irrigation treatments were located at the main plots, and the hybrids were distributed at the subplots. Highly significant effects of irrigation treatments were recorded for forage, grain yield and most of its components at both seasons and their average. The differences among hybrids were not significant for forage yield at both seasons. It was significant for grain yield as the average of both seasons only. The fr

This study was aimed to reduce the clogging ratio using two waters qualities Sumael (LSI) and Bazalan (LSII). The physical treatment was carried out using complete filtration unit composed of three of filters (Hydrocyclone, Sand, and Disc filters) and application of hypo chloride (Ca (OCl)₂ ) 2 ppm as chemical treatment. Generally, physical treatment was more effective than chemical treatment to reduce clogging ratio for Sumael water (LSI). In contrast, for Bazalan water (LSII), the chlorine application was more practical to reduce clogging ratio. The results showed after the period of 320 hr, filtration reduces the clogging ratio for Sumael water (LSI) was 67.77% at clogging ratio 12.51%corresponding to 28.53% at clog

Ten soil sites were chosen in Iraqi Kurdistan region, included the governorates of (Sulaimani, Arbil, and Duhok). These soils were characterized by their similarity in texture, parent material, topography, climatic conditions, and equal rainfall, in order to study the use of the center of gravity equation and mineralogical properties in evaluating the state of potassium in soils of different plant coverage (Forest, crops, and uncultivated soils). Results showed there was a variation in the values of calculated center of gravity for studied soil samples, which ranged between (0.83 – 1.63). The variation in these values was attributed to the variation between the studied soils in their ability for potassium supplying, depending o
