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 · 9,663 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Agritechnologies on the Biomass and Nutritional Parameters of Crops: A Study of Corn, Soybean, and Pea in Southeast KazakhstanGulvira Yessenbayeva, Aruzhan Ilyas, Serik Kenenbayev et al.The study investigates the impact of various agritechnologies on the biomass and nutritional parameters of corn, soybean, and winter pea cultivated in Southeast Kazakhstan. This research is particularly relevant given the significant challenges facing agriculture in Kazakhstan, including soil degradation, reduced arable land, and the need for sustainable farming practices. Organic and traditional farming methods were evaluated for their effectiveness … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 4 · 16 Feb 2026 · 1,600 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Assessment of GHGs Reduction Potential from Bio-Electricity Generation: Agricultural Waste-to-Energy Project in Thailand as a Case StudyKittipongvises Suthirat, Polprasert ChongrakDriven by concerns of energy security and global climate change, this study aimed to investigate the potential of greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions reduction from bio-electricity project in Thailand. A cogeneration plant in which deploying biomass residues from sugar cane production was selected as a case study. By considering the ACM0006 method, namely “Consolidated methodology for electricity and heat generation from … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 17 Aug 2016 · 7,212 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSome Pollutants (PAHs and OPPs) in Caspian Sea Coast-IranChangiz MohammadizadehPAHs form one of the most important classes of persistent pollutants. Sediment samples were taken from the eastern Caspian Sea coast of Mazandaran state analyzed by (GC-MS) for PAHs. Sediment samples were collected from eastern part of southern Caspian Sea in Mazandaran Province. Stations were Amirabad (10), Sari (5), Babolsar (5) and Noushahr (5) to determinate distribution and to source … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 10 Jun 2014 · 6,985 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSTUDY OF PHYSICO-CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF THE SURFACE AND GROUND WATERA.Y. Al-Ghamdi, Mohamed El-Shahate Ismaiel Saraya, A.O. Al-Ghamdi, S.A. ZabinOf all the natural resources, water is unarguably the most essential and precious. Life began in water and life is nurtured by water. Ninety seven percent of the world’s water is found in oceans. Only 2.5% of the world’s water are non-saline fresh water. Saudi Arabia is a desert country with no permanent rivers or lakes and very little rainfall. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 18 Apr 2014 · 7,787 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhysical 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 · 11,964 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSolid State Fermentation of Mexican Oregano (Lippia Berlandieri Schauer) WastePaola Melendez-Renteria, Virginia Nevarez-Moorillon, R. Rodriguez-Herrera, Cristobal Noe AguilarProblem statement: Mexican oregano is recognized for their aromatic characteristics and flavor quality. Principal products obtained from the plant and marketing are the leaves and essential oil; however the extraction of the essential oil generates large amounts of agro industrial wastes; that can be used as support-substrates in Solid-State Fermentations (SSF). Approach: In this study a fungal bioprocess, as solid … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 3 Mar 2012 · 8,475 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUse of a Mixture of Thermophilic Enzymes Produced by the Fungus Thermoascus aurantiacus to Enhance the Enzymatic Hydrolysis of the Sugarcane Bagasse CelluloseJ. R. Monte, W. Carvalho, A. M. F. MilagresProblem statement: The production of hydrolytic enzymes by T. aurantiacus has been performed under solid-state fermentations using lignocellulosic materials. The influences of the inoculum size and of the fermentation medium on the production of hemicellulases and cellulases were studied. Filtrates from the cultures were used to hydrolyze a pulp of sugarcane bagasse and the produced enzymes were shown to be … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 13 Dec 2010 · 9,212 accessesView PDFCite
