Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsValuation of Biomaterial: Phragmites australis in the Retention of Metal-Complexed DyesAida Kesraoui, Asma Mabrouk, Mongi SeffenThe purpose of this research was to estimate the potential of cellulosic fibers of highly available and renewable Tunisian biomass Phragmites australis for the biosorption of an anionic metal complexed dye: Alpacide blue. The present study shows that the Phragmite australis were used successfully for the adsorption of Alpcide blue from aqueous solution. Equilibrium was reached after 5 h at … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 5 Jun 2017 · 7,427 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEucalyptus Gomphocephala: Morphological Characterization and Seed Germination under Influence of Contaminated SoilOuled Seghaier Wided, Abbes Chaabane, Hasnaoui BrahimTo study the impact of soil pollution on plant growth, our work focused on soil polluted by heavy metals. This soil was taken from the municipal landfill of Jendouba (North of Tunisia). We have undertaken to study the morphological behavior of a forest specie “Eucalyptus gomphocephala”. Two treatments are chosen (substrate containing 100% and 50% of soil taken from municipal … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 6 · 12 Apr 2017 · 7,502 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsCFD-PBE Modelling and Simulation of Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Cellulose in a Stirred TankNorazaliza Mohd Jamil, Qi WangRenewable energy or biofuel from lignocellulosic biomass is an alternative way to replace the depleting fossil fuels. The production cost can be reduced by increasing the concentration of biomass particles. However, lignocellulosic biomass is a suspension of natural fibres and processing at high solid concentration is a challenging task because it will affect the mixing quality between the enzyme and … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 25 Oct 2016 · 8,002 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAssessing the Lignin Fraction Extracted from Brazilian Energy CropsDiogo José Horst, Jhon Jairo Ramírez Behainne, Pedro Paulo de Andrade Junior, Luís Filippe SerpeThis study quantifies the extraction performance and some properties of the lignin obtained from six crops with potential for generating thermal energy in Brazil. A full factorial design (22) with four replicates including two extraction methods and two particles size distributions was adopted for assessing the fraction of lignin, as well as its Higher Heating Value (HHV) and composition given … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 27 Apr 2015 · 7,582 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffects of Light Exposure and Nitrogen Source on the Production of Oil from Freshwater and Marine Water MicroalgaeMariam Al Hattab, Abdel GhalyThe biomass yield and oil content of Chlorella saccharophila (freshwater) and Tetraselmis suecica (marine) microalgae were investigated using various nitrogen source (ammonium nitrate, ammonium phosphate, ammonium sulfate and combination of nutrients) at various light durations (9, 16 and 24 h). NaHCO3 was used as the carbon source. The nitrogen concentration, temperature and pH were maintained at 70 mg/L, 22°C and … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 8 Dec 2014 · 7,270 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEXPERIMENTAL MEASUREMENTS AND MODELING USING CESFAMBTM SOFTWARE OF THE PRODUCT GAS COMPONENTS ON THE 2MWTH GASIFIER PLANTI.V. Dyakov, G.V. Baron, S. Bram et al.The work assesses the performance of a prototype 2MWth plant as an auxiliary source of energy based on biomass gasification using wood pellets as a fuel. During steady operation, process temperature, process pressure and concentrations of components in the product gas have been measured the measurements are compared to the simulation results obtained with the CeSFaMBTM software. The underlying model … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 1 Dec 2014 · 6,548 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPYROLYSIS OF EMPTY FRUIT BUNCHES: INFLUENCE OF TEMPERATURE ON THE YIELDS AND COMPOSITION OF GASEOUS PRODUCTMohamad Azri Sukiran, Loh Soh Kheang, Nasrin Abu Bakar, Choo Yuen MayWith the increasing concern on fossil fuel depletion and environmental problems, the utilization of renewable biomass resources is expected to play an important role in the future. Biomass can be converted into a variety of fuels and chemicals by different processes; one of which is pyrolysis that has been subjected to extensive research in recent years. In this study, pyrolysis … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 3 Feb 2014 · 7,621 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsProduction of Palm Oil with Methane Avoidance at Palm Oil Mill: A Case Study of Cradle-to-Gate Life Cycle AssessmentChiew Wei Puah, Yuen May Choo, Soon Hock OngThe study discusses a case study of cradle to gate life cycle assessment for the production of Crude Palm Oil (CPO) with methane avoidance at palm oil mill. The improved milling process enables total utilization of the oil palm fruit to produce alow oil palm based food source. The minimal modification in the mill includes cleaning of Fresh Fruit Bunches … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 11 · 9 Sep 2013 · 7,390 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsRETRIEVAL OF 24 HOUR AEROSOL OPTICAL DEPTHS FROM MIE LIDAR DATASiriluk Ruangrungrote, Pichet Limsuwan, Arunee IntasornTemporal Aerosol Optical Depths (AODs) of Phimai district, Nakhon Ratchasima province in Thailand were retrieved from measured Mie lidar data on 17-20 February 2005 using Fernald method. The ground-based station was selected for its high and diverse local agricultural activities contributed to the aerosol content which allows for various parameters such as concentration, size distribution and aerosol optical properties to … …Physics International, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 4 Sep 2013 · 6,517 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
