- Abstract:
- ... Cotton gin trash (CGT), the waste generated from cotton ginning is a low-cost and abundant source of lignocellulosic material. Effective valorisation of CGT is beneficial from both economical and environmental perspectives. Earlier investigations and reviews on CGT were mostly based on the ethanol and bioenergy production, and soil amendment properties of CGT. However, due to the low yield ...

This report summarizes results of harvesting and ginning studies within the past fifteen years that included HVI fiber length uniformity index (uniformity). The studies concluded that cultivar was an important ...

- Abstract:
- ... To analyze the stress state of seed cotton in the process of cotton ginning and to improve the quality of lint, a new model for cotton, the laminated cotton model, is presented based on the idea of a composite laminate. The model assumes the cotton mass is made up of a certain number of cotton fibers, each of which has a different arrangement angle. Based on this model, the ginning process ...

From the initial filing of patents for the spiked tooth gin and the saw gin in 1794 and 1796 by Whitney and then Holmes respectively, the saw gin stand has predominated over early roller-type gins in the U.S. cotton ginning industry. These early saw gin stands were small, simple, that were manually fed hand-picked seed cotton and processed ...
