Abstract The use of renewable energy from wood biomass which is processed in the form pellet are environmentally friendly, sustainable and also to reduce greenhouse effect environmental pollution. main problem quality a Gliricidia Calliandra ash content (1%) has not fulfilled Europe standard requirement A1-EN14961 (ash ≤ 0.7%) yet fulfills A2-EN14961 standard. effort lower by debarking mixing w...

The exotic wood-boring pest, emerald ash borer (EAB), Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), has been threatening North American ash (Fraxinus spp.) resources, this being recognized since its first detection in Michigan, USA and Ontario, Canada in 2002. Ash trees are killed by larval feeding in the cambial region, which results in disruption of photosynthate and nutrient trans...

The aim of the paper is to highlight importance calorific properties softwood biomass. presents caloric power and ash content, important in assessment wood Biomass, form wood, was will remain an combustible material. value content for spruce 3.8% 4.2% fir. These values are within international standards. Wood biomass, as a material can provide energy need population at reduced price. combustion...

This study evaluated the CO2 sequestration potential with combustion ashes in aqueous phase. The aim was to provide a cost-effective carbon method for unit operators (flue gas cleaning) or biogas producers (biogas upgrading). Therefore, two separate test series were executed identify carbonation efficiency (CE) of bottom wood ash (1) at different mixing ratios water batch experiments and (2) un...

Wood. Forests were exploited from the very beginnings of Near Eastern civilization. Enough hints exist from such Aceramic Neolithic sites as Jericho in Israel and Çayönü, Asikli Höyük, Nevali Çori, and Hallan Çemi in Turkey to indicate that extensive forest use has a history in this region of at least ten thousand years. These sites provide ample burned evidence for architectural timbers used a...

In this study, heat treatment was carried out in a relatively low temperature (230 ̊C). Mass loss kinetics was studied using equipment, specially conceived to measure sample’s mass during the thermal treatment. Laboratory experiments were performed for heating rates of 1 ̊C min-1. Mathematical model for kinetics of pyrolysis process was used and validated. During the pyrolysis of dry wood samples...

effects of condensed tannins (ct) on crude protein availability in sainfoin hay was investigated according to most popular ruminant feeding systems. different treatments including polyethylene glycol (6000 mw), sodium hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate, potassium permanganate, wood ash, water and urea, were applied for deactivation of ct crude protein fractioning was determined using nylon bag techn...
