Erosion Control Treatment Using Geocell and Wheat Straw for Slope Protection

Chemical Treatment of Wheat Straw

Numerical Analysis of Geocell Protective Slope Stability

Geocell protective slope is a kind of important ecological protection form, which is widely used in the geotechnical engineering field. Based on the finite element software ABAQUS, and combining with protective slope body’s mechanics performance in shallow soil, the finite element model of geocell slope protection is established under the conditions of rainfall seepage, and then we simulate the...

Ammonium Hydroxide Treatment of Wheat Straw

Chopped wheat straw, containing increasing amounts of added water was treated with a constant level of ammonia (3.3 percent of straw dry matter) as ammonium hydroxide, and stored for I to 60 days before determing in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVD MD), nitrogen content and fiber-bound nitrogen (ADF-N) versus free ammonia nitrogen (NH3N) of the treated sample. The overall improvement (e.g., ...

Effect of rice straw and wood chips on Soil erosion and seedling growth on the fill slope of forest roads

Extended abstract   1-Introduction Erosion is a geomorphologic and natural process that is always seen across the world, but this process is triggered by human activities, such as road construction, resulting in a significant negative impact on water resources, soil, environment and national economy. According to the above, preventing soil erosion is an important target in the management and...

Biobleaching of Wheat Straw Pulp using Laccase and Xylanase

Wheat straw pulp can be considered to be one of most important raw materials for specialty and functional paper products. Bleaching sequences involving laccase and xylanase were applied to bleach wheat straw pulp. The bleached pulp properties after a sequence of xylanase (X), laccase (L), and extraction (E), i.e. XLE, were compared with those of LE and LEX sequences. It was found that the XLE b...
