“…150 rotations per minute (rpm) for 3 minutes was selected as stirring speed and time, respectively, based on literature review and trial experiments with variable stirring speeds and times. A settling time of 60 minutes was also selected based on literature review [46,49] as well as trial experiments carried out in the laboratory.…”

The search for alternative solutions for sustainable management of faecal sludge in the area of dewatering with biocoagulants/bioflocculants remains unfulfilled. Some available and accessible indigenous plants in the northern part of Ghana have been characterised and subsequently evaluated in their suitability for use as biocoagulant/bioflocculants. The Yila (Crossopteryx febrifuga) and the Voulo (Grewia mollis) plants were the indigenous plants used in this study. Three applications from the Yila wooden stem, the Yila bark, and the Voulo at different treatment concentrations with faecal sludge were monitored. The Yila wooden stem gave a potential of pollutant removal up to about 83.99%, 93.79%, and 91.54% for Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Total Suspended Solids (TSS), and turbidity, respectively. Application of the Yila bark gave a respective removal efficiency of up to about 77.39%, 82.02%, and 54.60% for COD, TSS, and turbidity. The efficiency of the Voulo plant obtained for COD, TSS, and turbidity was up to about 80.43%, 86.83%, and 72.55%, respectively. No cyanogenic or toxic compounds were identified in the characterised raw materials used for this study. The study has revealed the potential of producing biocoagulants that can perform as effectively as synthetic/chemical coagulants using locally natural raw materials but the use of it at large scale will only be applicable for batch or semi-batch systems. Some interesting constituents identified in the plants under consideration, such as trialkyl bismuthine and furan derivative, can open up opportunities to elucidate the potential applications of these identified plants in the areas of pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, glass and ceramics, rubber production, and other applicable medicinal advantageous areas.

Las procesiones patronales en Antequera: escenario de poder y rivalidad entre el cabildo civil y eclesiástico (siglo XVI)

Entre las ocasiones propicias para hacer ostentación del rango social, las procesiones públicas ocupan, en la Edad Moderna, un lugar destacado, capaz de lograr un sincretismo paradigmático entre las dignidades municipales y religiosas de cualquier localidad. En Antequera, sin embargo, esta representatividad no fue tan armónica y son varios los incidentes registrados en dichas celebraciones, incluidos los solemnes festejos del Corpus Christi. El orden de los miembros de la comitiva era el principal motivo de disputa entre el cabildo de la Colegiata y el concejo, pues éste siempre pretendía ir después del eclesiástico, lo más cerca posible de la Sagrada Forma o cerrar el séquito ondeando el pendón, en honor del Santo venerado el día señalado para ello por el calendario litúrgico. En este último caso, dos van a ser las procesiones generales, de carácter anual, donde se registre la presencia de ambas corporaciones al completo y, por lo tanto, los momentos de mayor tensión: Las de San Felipe y Santiago, el primer día de mayo, y el de Santa Eufemia, patrona ganadora, el dieciséis de septiembre. Estas conmemoraciones, los altercados producidos en su transcurso y la ejecutoria de Felipe II de 1577, destinada a regular los actos festivos, serán los principales objetivos del presente estudio.
