Abstract:
Palladium-based catalysts supported on hypercrosslinked polystyrene were studied in the hydroconversion processes of oilseed biomass: (I) deoxygenation in a conventional solvent; (II) deoxygenation in supercritical hexane; (III) hydrogenation in toluene. It was shown that the highest selectivity towards the formation of target product, as well as the highest rate of stearic acid conversion in all the investigated processes, was observed using a 1% -Pd/HPS catalyst.

The production of Ocimum basilicum (basil) crop depends upon the availability of all nutrients in the soil solution.

These types of fertilizers combine benefits of the main fertilizers used in agriculture (organic and chemical).

Abstract:
Plants yields are influenced by agronomic techniques. Plant density is a complex issue and extremely important when maximizing both crop quality, and biomass and essential oil yields. Plants belonging to the Origanum vulgare subspecies hirtum (Link) Ietswaart were grown adopting four types of plant density and were characterized in biometric and chemical terms. The samples were analyzed using the ANOVA (Principal Component Analysis) statistical method regarding biometric aspects, EO yield and peltate hair density. Essential oil (EO) was extracted by hydrodistillation and analyzed using GC-FID

Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) has potential for intercropping with banana (Musa spp.) plants, thus contributing to the sustainability of plantations. The study evaluated the growth and yield of ‘Prata Anã’ banana and seasonality, yield and essential oil properties of lemongrass grown in intercropping and the land equivalent ratio. A randomized block design in a split plot arrangement was used, evaluating two cropping systems (sole crop and intercropping) and three harvest seasons during the year for lemongrass and two harvest seasons for banana, separately.

The depleting petroleum reserve, as well as increasing demand for crude oil, has attracted the research interest for alternative sources of energy.

Gasification is an established technology for the utilization of biomass to obtain producer gas containing mainly H2 and CO as combustibles. The air-blown biomass gasifiers are widely installed where the resulting producer gas contains 55-60 per cent nitrogen and a lower percentage of H2 and

Jatropha (Jatropha curcas, L.) is an energy crop mainly cultivated for the oil-seed, and the oil is usually used as bio-fuel. However, few studies have reported information about the utilization of the wood as a fuel for boiler heating systems. With 2500 jatropha trees per hectare, it is possible to produce about 3 t·ha−1·y−1 of woody biomass from pruning. In addition, jatropha trees are commonly cut down to a height of 45 cm once every 10 years, with a production of 80 t·ha−1 of dry matter of woody biomass.
