Phosphate-solubilizing microorganisms of a lateritic soil

Zentralblatt für Bakteriologie, Parasitenkunde, Infektionskrankheiten und Hygiene. Zweite Naturwissenschaftliche Abteilung: Mikrobiologie der Landwirtschaft, der Technologie und des Umweltschutzes, 1981
Summary Five efficient phosphate-solubilizing microorganisms isolated from a lateritic soil (Typic Ochragualf), LCB 1 Bacillus firmus (B-7647), LCB 9 , a mixed culture of Bacillus circulans and B. subtilis (B-7648), LCS 4 , a Streptomyces sp., LCF 3 , an unreported species of Aspergillus, and LCF 4 , A. niger van Tieghem, were inoculated in

Adsorption of carbofuran on lateritic soils

Journal of Hazardous Materials, 1998
Adsorption of carbofuran on the four selected lateritic soils is studied using batch experiments. Accordingly, the key influencing factors of carbofuran adsorption are determined. The adsorption isotherms on the lateritic soils correspond well with the Freundlich isotherm.

Intrinsic compressibility of laterites and lateritic soils

Canadian Geotechnical Journal
Laterites and lateritic soils, prevalent in tropical and subtropical climates, have growing applications in earthwork construction. They usually present unique compression properties compared to conventional clays. Therefore, a thorough understanding of their intrinsic compressibility is crucial.

Laterite Soils and Their Engineering Characteristics

Journal of the Soil Mechanics and Foundations Division, 1957
Laterite soils are tropical deposits occurring generally as residual surface deposits; review of existing literature concerning origin, distribution and physical properties of soils and evaluation from civil engineering point of view; information presented is of importance for preliminary planning and design of engineering structures in laterite soil ...

Collapse behaviour of a lateritic soil

Geomechanics and Geoengineering, 2015
Collapsible soils are problematic by nature. They undergo collapse or sudden settlement or subsidence under a given stress when their water content is increased. Collapse is characterised by collapse potential expressed as ΔH/H x 100, where ΔH is collapse compression. The amount of stress applied and the water content at the time of collapse govern the
