The agronomic benefits of biochar are partly derived from the available plant nutrients in biochar. This study investigated the fertilizer value of biochars manufactured by slow pyrolysis. Pyrol ...

- Abstract:
- ... Piezodorus guildinii (Westwood) is an important soybean pest in the Americas. Current knowledge about its ecology is limited. To implement holistic and sustainable pest management programs, it is necessary to understand how biotic and abiotic factors regulate its population. Seasonal occurrence on different host plants, and morphological (body morphometry and color) and physiological (lipid conten ...

- Abstract:
- ... The present study aims to identify the renewable resources available in Brazil such as açai seed, coconut husks, coffee husks, rice husks, eucalyptus sawdust, grass, soy peel, bamboo, banana stems and banana stalks. To identify such renewable energy sources, samples were examined for their physical and chemical characteristics using X-ray diffraction (XRD), proximate and ultimate analyses, thermog ...

- Abstract:
- ... A low molecular weight lignin from various lignocellulosic materials was used for the synthesis of bio-based epoxy resins. The lignin extracted with methanol from steam-exploded samples (steaming time of 5min at steam pressure of 3.5MPa) from different biomasses (i.e., cedar, eucalyptus, and bamboo) were functionalized by the reaction with epichlorohydrin, catalyzed by a water-soluble phase transf ...

- Abstract:
- ... Aiming at replacing the noxious solvents commonly employed, ionic liquids (ILs) have been recently explored as novel media for the dissolving of lignin. In the present work, formic acid lignin (FAL) from bamboo and Alcell lignin (AL) from eucalyptus were dissolved in several imidazolium-based ionic liquids, and subsequently regenerated using ethanol–water mixtures and water, respectively. Physioch ...

- Abstract:
- ... Bamboo cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) were successfully prepared from the sulfuric acid hydrolysis of bamboo bleached fibers. Reaction parameters such as temperature, acid-to-pulp ratio and hydrolysis time were varied over a limited range and conditions for the preparation of individual bamboo nanorods with a yield of 30 % were identified. The characteristics of bamboo CNCs were compared with those ...

- Abstract:
- ... Previous work has shown that very high yields of charcoal are obtained when pyrolysis of the biomass feedstock is conducted at elevated pressure in a closed vessel, wherein the pyrolytic vapors are held captive and in contact with the solid products of pyrolysis. In this paper, we show that, for some biomass species, the yield of carbon produced by this process effectively attains the theoretical ...
