In this study, a system level analysis of pyrolysis cotton stalk biomass is carried out in ASPEN Plus software to analyze the conversion such agriculture residue into bio-oil, biochar, and non-condensable gases. The liquid solid components are considered as primary products, whereas gases combusted presence air generate flue utilized provide heat energy for reaction drying operations. process p...

Critical growth stage of cotton crop was investigated by artificially imposing water stress under field conditions. The crop was given water deficit stress for a period of 30 days at squaring (SS) and first boll split (BS) phases by maintaining the leaf water potential (yw) at –2.2+0.2 MPa whereas in control plots yw was maintained at -1.6+ 0.2 MPa by irrigation scheduling. The average irrigati...

Cotton stalk (CS), cotton waste (CW), and cotton dust (CD), which are cotton wastes, were used as adsorbents to study the adsorption kinetics of methylene blue from aqueous solution. Kinetics of the batch adsorption experiment was investigated according to the pseudo-first order, the pseudo-second order, and the intraparticle diffusion models used commonly in the literature. The effects of the ...
