Various types of wastes are the main sources of heavy metal within a landfill system including metal waste components such as food cans, scrap metal, household hazardous waste and electronic waste such as batteries and old computers. The procedure that occurs inside the waste cells quickens that procedure for substantial metal draining from the was

All carotenoids originate from a single, common precursor, phytoene. The colour of carotenoids is determined by desaturation, isomerization, cyclization, hydroxylation and epoxidation of the 40-carbon phytoene. The conjugated double-bond structure and nature of end ring groups confer on the carotenoids properties such as colour and antioxidant acti

Landfilling is more preferable in Malaysia compared to another disposal method due to low cost, and availability of land. Other than solid waste, the percolation of water into the landfill leads to leachate formation. The migration of waste in leachate form may accelerate the heavy metal contamination of the soil one of the major concerns in landfi

This study was conducted to improve the life-span of the biofilm produced from algae by evaluating the decomposition rate with the effect of the cinnamon extraction oil (CEO). The biofilm was fabricated using the solution casting technique. The soil burying analysis, demonstrated low moisture absorption of the biofilm thus decelerating the degradat
