Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleTemperature Optimization for Bioethanol Production from Corn Cobs Using Mixed Yeast StrainsClarence S. Yah, Sunny E. Iyuke, Emmanuel I. Unuabonah et al.Problem statement: Dilute sulphuric acid and enzymatic hydrolysis methods were used for sugar extraction. Xylose and glucose sugars were obtained from corn cobs. Approach: Acid hydrolysis of corn cobs gave higher amount of sugars than enzymatic hydrolysis. Results: The results showed that optimal temperature and time for sugar fermentation were approximately 25°C and 50 h by two yeast strains (S. … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 9,339 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleAssessment of Efficient Thermal Conversion Technologies and HHV from Compositional Characteristics of Cassava Peelings, Plantain Peelings and Corn CobsSamomssa Inna, Oumarou Amadou Amadou, Jiokap Nono Yvette et al.The understanding of compositional characteristics permits to predict the efficient thermal conversion technologies and Higher Heating Value (HHV). Although HHV can be determined directly, many models have been proposed for HHV prediction. They are based on proximate, ultimate, and structural analysis and require much data collected. The present work assesses to predict efficient thermal conversion technologies and HHV of the … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 27 Dec 2022 · 10,157 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of Bet and Water Adsorption TechniquesB. H. Diya’uddeen, I. A. Mohammed, B. Y. Jibril, I. M. BugajeThe effect of activated carbon surface area on the amount of fluid adsorbed is significant. Thus, the surface area of an adsorbent is an important factor. The use of the costly BET measurement method is the standard. However, water adsorption method was proposed as an alternate method. Nevertheless, results presented were for activated carbon prepared and surface areas reported were … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 28 Aug 2013 · 7,246 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhysical Properties of Corn ResiduesYaning Zhang, A. E. Ghaly, Bingxi LiCorn residues (cobs, leaves and stalks) are abundantly available renewable materials that can be used as an energy source in gasification and combustion systems. Proper understanding of the physical properties of these materials is necessary for their use in thermochemical conversion processes. The physical properties (moisture content, particle size, bulk density and porosity) of corn cobs, leaves and stalks were … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 22 Jun 2012 · 19,324 accessesView PDF Cite
