Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPhysical Properties of Rice Residues as Affected by Variety and Climatic and Cultivation Onditions in Three ContinentsA. E. Ghaly, Bingxi Li, Yaning ZhangRice husk and straw are by-products of rice cultivation and processing industry and can be used as an energy source. Proper understanding of the physical properties of rice residues is necessary for utilizing them in thermochemical conversion processes such as gasification and combustion. The physical properties (moisture content, particle size, bulk density and porosity) of rice husks and straws obtained … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 11 · 29 Aug 2012 · 11,970 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMixing Patterns and Residence Time Determination in a Bubbling Fluidized Bed SystemA. E. Ghaly, K. N. MacDonaldFluidized bed gasification can be used to convert the solar energy stored as carboneous compounds in biomass into a carbon neutral fuel with reduced emissions. Canada produces 20.57 million tonnes of wheat straw annually which could be used for green energy production. Wheat straw residue gasification has the capability of replacing 7.5 % (0.62 EJ) of Canada’s annual fossil fuel … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 17 Aug 2012 · 8,119 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAvailability and Physical Properties of Residues from Major Agricultural Crops for Energy Conversion Through Thermochemical ProcessesYaning Zhang, A. E. Ghaly, Bingxi LiPlant residues from the major agricultural crops (wheat, rice, corn, soybean, sugarcane, coffee and cotton) are abundantly available renewable resources that can be used to supply energy through thermochemical conversion processes. The available amounts of plant residues from these crops and their physical properties (moisture content, particle size, bulk density and porosity) were determined. The annual residues from the wheat, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 4 Aug 2012 · 9,666 accessesView PDFCite
