Abstract:
An experiment was carried out with 80 straight run broiler chicks (cobb-500) reared on rice husk and sawdust to know the production efficiency at 5 weeks during summer. A total 80 straight run broiler chicks (cobb-500) were divided into 4 groups and were assigned to 2 treatments i.e. T1 and T2 in which T1 was used rice husk and T2 was used sawdust. Number of birds per replication were 10. Live weight of birds reared on rice husk and sawdust differed significantly at 5th weeks of age (P<0.05). Feed consumption of broiler was significantly higher on sawdust litter than rice husk. Feed conversion ratio and survivability percentages of broiler were statistically non-significant (P>0.05) between the sawdust and rice husk. The cost of litter per bird and cost of litter per kg live weight gain were 14.07% and 20.10% higher in rice husk than sawdust respectively. It is evident from the study that sawdust was more economic than rice husk. Considering all the facts and findings of the study, it can be conducted that live weight and feed consumption of broiler was better in sawdust litter materials than rice husk. Sawdust was also cheaper than rice husk. Therefore, using sawdust as a litter material can lead to better production efficiency and cost savings for broiler farmers during summer. Asian Australas. J.

Abstract:
In this study, the effects of various kinds of sawdust and supplements on the yield of Ganoderma lucidum were investigated in artificial cultivation. The sawdust of Alnus nepalensis, Shorea robusta and Dalbergia sisoo and supplements of rice bran , wheat bran, corn flour and gram flour were used as substrates in Ganoderma lucidum cultivation . Sawdust alone was used in control as a substrate media in the cultivation. Significant differences (P< 0.05) were found among varieties of sawdusts and supplements. Similarly significant differences (P<0.05) were found in sawdust with supplements and without supplements in yield and biological efficiency. Dalbergia sisoo sawdust could not give yield in ambient condition; Shorea robusta gave very low yield and biological efficiency. Alnus nepalensis gave good yield and biological efficiency compared to the other sawdust.The highest yield and Biological efficiency were obtained from gram flour compared to the other brans. Alnus nepalensis sawdust supplemented with gram flour showed higher yield among all treatments. Supplementation showed positive role in mycelia growth and yield of mushroom.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/on.v10i1.7781

Abstract:
Synthetic gas generated from the gasification of biomass feedstocks is one of the clean and sustainable energy sources. In this work, a fixed-bed downdraft gasifier was used to perform the gasification on a lab-scale of rice husk, sawdust, and coconut shell. The aim of this work is to find and compare the synthetic gas generation characteristics and prospects of sawdust and coconut shell with rice husk. A temperature range of 650–900 °C was used to conduct gasification of these three biomass feedstocks. The feed rate of rice husk, sawdust, and coconut shell was 3–5 kg/h, while the airflow rate was 2–3 m3/h. Experimental results show that the highest generated quantity of methane (vol.%) in synthetic gas was achieved by using coconut shell than sawdust and rice husk. It also shows that hydrogen production was higher in the gasification of coconut shell than sawdust and rice husk. In addition, emission generations in coconut shell gasification are lower than rice husk although emissions of rice husk gasification are even lower than fossil fuel. Rice husk, sawdust, and coconut shell are cost-effective biomass sources in Bangladesh. Therefore, the outcomes of this paper can be used to provide clean and economic energy sources for the near future.

Abstract:
This study aims to determine the effect of the ratio of rice husk, sawdust, and lime as litter on the health of broilers. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with five treatments and four replications. Each replication consisted of five broilers. The treatment given included P1 = 100% rice husk. P2 = 100% sawdust, P3 = 70% rice husk, 25% sawdust, and 5% lime. P4 = 25% rice husk, 70% sawdust, 5% lime. P5 = 47.5% rice husk, 47.5% sawdust, and 5% lime. The research parameters included: physical characteristics of external and internal organs, percentage of internal organ weight, and broiler mortality. This study's results indicate abnormal physical characteristics of broilers' external organs (legs, feathers, and cloaca) and internal organs (liver, spleen, thymus, and kidneys). The average percentage of liver, heart, and gizzard weight of broilers in this study ranged from 3.98-357%, 0.70-0.84%, and 3.29-4.0%. The average mortality rate reached 0.01% of 100 broilers reared for six weeks. It was concluded that the rice husk, sawdust, and lime ratio showed abnormal physical characteristics in broilers' external and internal organs. However, it did not significantly affect (P0.05) the percentage of internal organ weight and broiler mortality

Abstract:
Growth media composition needs to be considered because it can affect the growth and development of white oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus). Wood factory waste in the form of sawdust is commonly used as oyster mushroom’s growth media. However, problem arises when the source of growing media is difficult to access from the cultivation location. There’s a need for an alternative mushroom growing media that is cheap and accessible. Some of them are rice bran, soybean husk, and bagasse which are agricultural wastes. Therefore, this study aimed to obtain the best media composition for oyster mushroom’s growth and production. This study was compiled using one factor completely randomized design (CRD) namely, (M1) 1 kg of sengon sawdust and 1 ounce rice bran; (M2) 1 kg of sengon sawdust and 1 ounce soybean husk; (M3) 1 kg of sengon sawdust and 1 ounce bagasse; (M4) 1 kg of sengon sawdust, ounce rice bran and ounce soybean husk; (M5) 1 kg of sengon sawdust, ounce rice bran and ounce bagasse; and (M6) 1 kg of sengon sawdust, ounce rice bran, ounce soybean husk and ounce bagasse. Result showed that M2 and M4 media composition with soybean husk as one of the constituents was able to increase mushroom’s stem diameter, number of mushroom caps, and the fresh weight of the mushroom. More than ounces of rice bran and soybean husk was more optimal for supporting oyster mushroom growth than < ounces dosage.

These substrates were fully colonized with OMF mycelia four weeks after incubation at room temperature. Exposure of substrate (sawdust + rice bran) fully colonized with mycelia to cold temperature favored primordial initiation for a shorter period of time. Larger and heavier basidiocarps were obtained from these substrates.</em>

Abstract:
This study was done to determine the yield of Ganoderma lucidum on different sawdusts of mahogany (Sweitenia macrophylla), gmelina (Gmelina arborea), and coconut (Cocos nucifera). The sawdusts were enriched with 50% rice bran and 2% lime based on the total volume of sawdust. All the sawdusts in the different treatments were supplemented with .25% molasses and composted for 12 days where turning of the compost was done every 2 days. After the composting period, the sawdusts were bagged using heat resistant polypropylene (PPC) plastic bags and sterilized for one hour at 15psi. After cooling, the sterilized bags were inoculated with the grain spawn of Ganoderma lucidum and incubated at room temperature until ready for fruiting. Fruiting was done outdoors in a plastic house with provisions for moisture and temperature control. Results showed that all the sawdusts supported the growth of Ganoderma lucidum as all the bags produced fruiting bodies in five flushes. Mahogany and gmelina sawdusts registered higher yields, however, statistical analysis showed no significant difference in their yield. Coconut sawdust posted the lowest yield which differed significantly from the yield of mahogany and gmelina.

Abstract:
The research aimed to investigate mushroom cultivation materials made from rice straw, maize, and giant mimosa to replace sawdust. It was discovered that the capacity of fibers to grow has been more valuable. The method that combines a 1:1:1 ratio of the sawdust, rice straw, and giant mimosa will produce the highest mycelium. The 100% maize seed material will have relatively low fiber mycelium. However, there was a statistically significant in mushroom growth at the 95% reliability level. It was found that the process consisting of 100% rice straw cultivation material had the highest number of blossoms on average 13.66 blossoms, while the method with the lowest average number of blossoms per bag was the sawdust combined with giant mimosa which had 7.33 blossoms on average. The blooms ranged in width from 6.83 - 7.53 cm, while the mushroom's peduncle length ranged from 5.83 - 6.84 cm. When the biological efficiency (B.E.) was calculated, it was found that the sawdust: rice straw: maize: giant mimosa ratio of 1:2:1:1 yielded the highest value of 68.48 %, followed by the Para rubber sawdust: rice straw: maize: giant mimosa. The ratio of 2:1:1:1 was 68.22%, and the seed material was 100% sawdust. The biological efficiency of the ecosystem was 66.39%.

Abstract:
碩士<br>國立中興大學<br>園藝學系所<br>104<br>Agricultural waste has a predominantly organic composition. Using a suitable composting process, this waste can become a useful substrate for plant growth. This study compared conventional composting with a fast fermentation method that used rice straw and sawdust from king oyster mushroom (Pleurotus eryngii) culture waste as the material to prepare two different types of compost. The two types of compost were then mixed with coir to create substrates for vegetable-growing. The study investigated the physical and chemical characteristics of the two types of substrate with the aim of identifying the best substrate, and used the substrates with appropriate nutrient solutions for vegetable seeding and bag culture. Rice straw (R) residue was shredded into 5-mm pieces. R residue and sawdust of king oyster mushroom culture waste (M) were individually mixed with soybean meal and Trichoderma-and-Bacillus culture, then composted for 11 weeks in heaps. The heaps were turned regularly, and water was added to maintain the moisture level. The carbon to nitrogen (C:N) ratios of the composts were all below 20, reaching the standard for compost maturity. Rice straw conventional (RC) compost had medium-sized particles, with a porosity of 75.37% and a high liquid content. In addition, RC had a high density of 0.119 g/cm3, a pH value of 7.8, an electrical conductivity (EC) of 2370 μS/cm, an available potassium level of 2.55%, and a total nitrogen content of 2.09%. Mushroom culture sawdust conventional (MC) compost had 27.24% large-sized particles and 44.82% medium-sized particles, which decayed from the sawdust. The MC compost also had a significantly lower porosity, volumetric water content and liquid/air ratio than the RC compost, but was rich in available magnesium. Rice straw fast (RF) compost and mushroom culture sawdust fast (MC) compost were prepared in the laboratory of Professor Chiu-Chung Young at the Microbiological and Biochemical Laboratory of the Department of Soil and Environmental Sciences, National Chung Hsing University. The particles of both RF and MF were all mainly medium in size, and both had higher liquid levels than the untreated and conventional composted materials. The pH values of RF and MF were 5.8 and 5.9, respectively. The EC value of RF was 2745 μS/cm, which was significantly higher than the values of the other compost media, the EC value of MF being only 615 μS/cm. Different mixed substrates were prepared using 40% or 60% RF, RC, MF and MC mixed with coir. With a higher percentage of compost, substrates prepared from RF, MF and MC had higher contents of medium-sized particles. RC4 (40% RC-60% coir) and RC6 (60% RC-40% coir) had higher pH values of 6.0 and 6.1, respectively. Substrates prepared from compost obtained using the conventional composting process (RC and MC) had a significantly higher EC than those prepared by the fast method (RF and MF). Substrates prepared from rice straw compost (RC and RF) had significantly higher available potassium and magnesium percentages than those made from mushroom culture sawdust waste (MC and MF). For seeding of cucumber ‘Sin-Jiao’, RC4 and RC6 demonstrated the best results, all the parameters of seeding growth being better than those obtained using peat moss as the substrate. Among the different substrates, RC6 was best for cucumber breeding, resulting in a higher starch content than other substrates. Germination of tomato ‘Siao-Ming’ had better results using substrates prepared from mushroom culture sawdust waste, with no inhibition effect. The seedling characteristics and starch contents of the plants grown using MC6 were better than those grown using peat moss. Therefore, MC6 was concluded to be the best substrate for tomato seeding. Conventional compost mixed with coir was then used as the substrate for cucumber bag culture. When the substrates were used in combination with different potassium and calcium nutrient solutions, modified Yamazaki’s 1.5× potassium (1.5× K) nutrient solution resulted in better plant characteristics than modified Yamazaki’s 1.5× calcium (1.5× Ca) nutrient solution. The results showed that plants grown using RC6 with 1.5× K solution had the greatest numbers of fruit sets and higher percentages of fruit sets; plants grown using MC4 and MC6 with 1.5× Ca solution had the best fruit yields; and plants grown using MC6 with 1.5× K solution exhibited a greater fruit weight.

Abstract:
The olive oil extraction industry represents a substantial share of the economies of Mediterranean countries but leads to serious environmental problems by producing huge amounts of wastes (by-products) within a short production period. The production rate of olive oil is about 1.4-1.8 million tonnes per year in the Mediterranean, resulting in 30 million m3 of by-products and 20 million tonnes of olive pomace. A small portion of these wastes can be used as raw materials in different industries as they contain valuable natural resources. Greece has about 2300 small-scale, rural, agro-industrial units that extract olive oil. These are generally three-phase systems and their by-products include olive mill residual solids (olive pomace and leaves) and olive mill waste water. Olive mills produce significant quantities of solid wastes with outputs of 0.35 tonnes of olive pomace and 0.05 tonnes of leaves per tonne of olives. The huge quantities of olive pomace and olive leaves produced within the short oil extraction season cause serious management problems in terms of volume and space. The solid wastes (olive pomace and olive leaves) that are produced contain almost 95% organic matter and although they could be highly beneficial to agricultural soils, it has been shown that they also contain toxic compounds and lipid which increase soil hydrophobicity and decrease water retention and infiltration rate. The soils of most Mediterranean countries have low organic matter contents (<1%) which has negative impacts on agriculture. Frequent application of composted organic residues increases soil fertility, mainly by improving aggregate stability and decreasing soil bulk density. Organic amendments play a positive role in climate change abatement by soil carbon sequestration. Recurrent use of composted materials enhances soil organic nitrogen content by up to 90%. To replenish soil organic matter content and promote eco-friendly crop production, the application of olive pomace compost could be a good solution. To examine olive mill solid waste composting, four pilot-scale experiments were carried out to produce good quality compost using three phase olive mill solid waste (olive pomace, OP) and different bulking agents such as rice husk (RH), olive leaves (OL) sawdust (SD), wood shavings (WS), and chromium treated reed plants (RP). A series of parallel experiments was carried out to examine the effect final compost quality of: (a) initial moisture content, (b) water addition during the composting process, and (c) material ratios, and to also determine the toxicity level in plants and human blood lymphocytes (genotoxicity and cytotoxicity). For each experiment, six trapezoidal bins were used with dimensions 1.26 m long, 0.68 m wide and 0.73 m deep, and a total volume of 0.62 m3. The study was carried out in the facilities of the Department of Environmental and Natural Resources Management, University of Patras, Agrinio, in a closed area to maintain controlled temperature conditions. To monitor the composting process and evaluate compost quality, physicochemical parameters (temperature, moisture content, pH, electrical conductivity, organic matter, volatile solids, total organic carbon, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, potassium, sodium, and water soluble phenols) were measured at different phases. The respirometric test (O2 uptake) was performed to determine compost stability. Experimental results showed that even after short composting periods, the quality of the final product remained high. The final product had excellent physicochemical characteristics (C/N: 12.1–17.5, germination index (GI): 88.32–164.43%, Cr: 8–10 mg/kg dry mass, that fulfill1 EU requirements and can be used as a fertilizer in organic farming. To achieve higher quality of the final product, Olive pomace should be used in higher ratios than the other materials (OL, RH, WS, SD and RP). The amount (volume of humidifying agents) and time (frequency) of moisture addition also played an important role during composting. Based on the experimental results, olive mill wastes can produce a high quality soil amendment which has no phytotoxic, genotoxic or cytotoxic effects. Nevertheless, composting duration and bulking agents and their ratios are crucial factors that determine the quality of the final product. Finally, the revision of EU regulations is proposed to include genotoxic and cytotoxic evaluation of composts that enter the human food chain. A full-scale compost unit was designed based on the experimental results. For a typical small-sized olive mill, processing 30 tonnes of olives per day for a 100-day operation period, a total area of about 850 m2 is needed to compost the mill’s entire annual waste production.<br>Η βιομηχανία παραγωγής ελαιόλαδου αποτελεί ένα σημαντικό κομμάτι της οικονομίας στις χώρες της Μεσογείου, προκαλώντας ταυτόχρονα σημαντικά περιβαλλοντικά προβλήματα, λόγω της παραγωγής μεγάλων ποσοτήτων αποβλήτων κατά τη σύντομη περίοδο λειτουργίας των ελαιοτριβείων. Η μέση ετήσια παραγωγή ελαιολάδου στην Μεσόγειο κυμαίνεται στους 1.4-1.8 χιλιάδες τόνους, ενώ παράγονται επίσης περίπου 30 χιλιάδες m3 παραπροϊόντων και 20 χιλιάδες τόνους ελαιοπυρήνα. Μόνο ένα μικρό μέρος αυτών των παραπροϊόντων μπορεί να χρησιμοποιηθεί ως πρώτη ύλη σε διάφορες βιομηχανίες. Η Ελλάδα έχει περίπου 2300 ελαιοτριβεία μικρής κλίμακας διασπαρμένα στην ύπαιθρο. Τα ελαιοτριβεία αυτά είναι κυρίως τριφασικά και τα παραπροϊόντα τους συμπεριλαμβάνουν στερεά υπολείμματα (ελαιουρήνας και φύλλα) και υγρά απόβλητα ελαιοτριβείου. Τα ελαιοτριβεία παράγουν σημαντικές ποσότητες στερεών υπολειμμάτων παρέχοντας περίπου 0.35 τόνους ελαιοπυρήνα και 0.05 τόνους φύλλων ανά τόνο ελαιοκάρπου, παρακαλώντας σημαντικά προβλήματα στη διαχείρισης τους. Τα στερεά υπολείμματα (ελαιοπυρήνας και φύλλα) περιέχουν 95% οργανική ύλη, καθιστώντας τα δυνητικά κατάλληλα ως εδαφοβελτιωτικά, καθώς τα εδάφη των περισσότερων Μεσογειακών χωρών έχουν χαμηλή περιεκτικότητα σε οργανική ύλη (<1%) επηρεάζοντας αρνητικά την γεωργία. Τα υπολλείματα αυτά περιέχουν ωστόσο τοξικές ουσίες και έλαια, τα οποία αυξάνουν την υδροφοβικότητα του εδάφους και μειώνουν την κατακράτηση του νερού και την ρυθμό διήθησης. Έχει αποδειχθεί ότι συχνές εφαρμογές κομποστοποιημένων οργανικών υπολειμμάτων αυξάνουν την γονιμότητα του εδάφους, αυξάνοντας κυρίως τη συνολική σταθερότητα και την πυκνότητα του εδάφους. Η συχνή χρήση κομποστοποιημένων υλικών βελτιώνει την περιεκτικότητα των εδαφών σε οργανικό άζωτο του εδάφους έως και 90%. Η κομποστοποίηση ελαιοπυρήνα θα μπορούσε να αποτελέσει μια πιθανή λύση για την αναπλήρωση του περιεχομένου σε οργανική υλη των εδαφών και για την προώθηση μιας οίκοφιλικής αγροτικής παραγωγής. Για να εξεταστεί η κομποστοποιήση στερεών υπολειμμάτων ελαιοτριβείων, διεξήχθησαν 4 πειράματα πιλοτικής κλίμακας για την παραγωγή κομποστ, χρησιμοποιώντας στερεά υπολείμματα τριφασικών ελαιοτριβείων (ελαιοπυρήνας) και διαφόρους διογκωτικούς παράγοντες, όπως φλοιό ρυζιού, φύλλα ελιάς, πριονίδια, ροκανίδια, και καλάμια με υψηλή περιεκτικότητα σε χρώμιο. Σκοπός των παράλληλων πειραμάτων ήταν η εξέταση της επίδρασης στην ποιότητα του τελικού κομπόστ των: (α) αρχικού περιεχόμενου υγρασίας, (β) της προσθήκης νερού κατά την διάρκεια της κομποστοποιήσης, (γ) των ποσοστών ανάμιξης των υλικών, καθώς επίσης και ο προσδιορισμός της φυτοτοξικότητας και της γενοτοξικότητας των τελικών κομπόστ. Σε κάθε πείραμα χρησιμοποιήθηκαν 6 τραπεζοειδή πλαστικά δοχεία διαστάσεων 1.26 m σε μήκος, 0.68 m σε πλάτος και 0.73 m σε ύψος, με ολικό όγκο 0.62 m3. Οι πιλοτικές μονάδες ήταν τοποθετημένες σε κλειστό χώρο του Τμήματος Διαχείρισης Περιβάλλοντος και Φυσικών Πόρων του Πανεπιστημίου Πατρών στο Αγρίνιο, ώστε να επικρατούν σταθερές συνθήκες θερμοκρασίας. Η παρακολούθηση της κομποστοποίησης και η εκτίμηση της ποιότητας του κομπόστ, έγινε μέσω του προσδιορισμού διαφόρων φυσικοχημικών παραμέτρων (θερμοκρασία, περιεχόμενο υγρασίας, pH, ηλεκτρική αγωγιμότητα, περιεχόμενη οργανική ύλη, πτητικά στέρεα, ολικός οργανικός άνθρακας, ολικό άζωτο, ολικό φώσφορος, κάλιο, νάτριο, και ολικές φαινόλες). Για την εκτίμηση της ποιότητας του κομποστ πραγματοποιήθηκαν επίσης ρεσπιρομετρικά τεστ (κατανάλωση O2). Τα πειραματικά αποτελέσματα απέδειξαν ότι ακόμα και μετά από σύντομες περιόδους κομποστοποιήσης η ποιότητα του τελικού κομπόστ παρέμενε υψηλή. Το τελικό προϊόν είχε εξαιρετικά φυσικοχημικά χαρακτηριστικά (C/N: 12.1–17.5, δείκτης βλαστικότητας (GI): 88.32–164.43%, Cr: 8–10 mg/kg ξηρής μάζας), τα οποία είναι εντός των νομοθετικών ορίων της ΕΕ για την χρήση λιπασμάτων σε βιολογικές καλλιέργειες. Για την παραγωγή υψηλής ποιότητας κομπόστ ο ελαιοπυρήνας πρέπει να χρησιμοποιείτε σε μεγαλύτερη αναλόγια σε σχέση με τα υπόλοιπα υλικά. Η ποσότητα και η συχνότητα προσθήκης νερού παίζει επίσης σημαντικό ρόλο κατά τη κομοστοποιήση. Με βάση τα πειραματικά αποτελέσματα αποδείχθηκε ότι τα στερεά υπολείμματα ελαιοτριβείων μπορούν να παράξουν ένα υψηλής ποιότητας εδαφοβελτιωτικό, το οποίο δεν εμφανίζει φυτοτοξικότητα, γενοτοξικότητα και κυτταροτοξικότητα. Παρόλο αυτά η διάρκεια της κομποστοποίησης, οι διογκωτικοί παράγοντες και τα ποσοστά ανάμιξης των υλικών είναι κρίσιμοι παράγοντες, που επηρεάζουν την ποιότητα του τελικού προϊόντος. Επίσης αναφέρουμε ότι η νομοθεσία της ΕΕ θα πρέπει να αναθεωρηθεί συμπεριλαμβάνοντας τόσο τη γενοτοξική και την κυτταρτοξική εκτίμηση του κομπόστ πριν χρησιμοποιηθεί για βρώσιμες καλλιέργειες. Τέλος με βάση τα πειραματικά αποτελέσματα διαστασιολοήθηκε μια μονάδα πλήρους κλίμακας για την κομποστοποίηση στερεών υπολειμμάτων ελαιοτριβείου. Έτσι για ένα τυπικό μικρής κλίμακας ελαιοτριβείο, που επεξεργάζεται ημερησίως 30 τόνους ελιών και για περίοδο κομποστοποίησης 100 ημερών, χρειάζεται μια συνολική έκταση περίπου 850 m2 για τη κομπστοποίηση όλης της ετησίας ποσότητας του ελαιοπυρήνα.

Full text
Abstract:
The use of conventional fuels is decreasing globally due to its limited reserves and negative impact on the environment. The associated cost of conventional fuels is increasing owing to the higher demand for conventional fuels. Hence, utilization methods of biomass to generate energy are of growing interest. Among different biomass feedstocks, rice husks, waste plastics, and sawdust are significantly available in the global environment. The annual generation amount of rice husk is approximately 120 million tons worldwide, with an annual energy generation potential of 109 GJ with a heating value of 15 MJ/kg. The gasification process is assumed to be the most effective biomass conversion method that can generate synthetic gas to operate IC engines, fuel cells, and boilers. Synthetic gas production from biomass using a gasification process is a significant source of future energy. Downdraft fixed-bed gasifiers are considered as a feasible option of biomass conversion in the gasification process. By optimizing the operating conditions of downdraft fixed-bed gasifier, such as reaction zone temperature, combustion zone temperature, intake air temperature, airflow rate, the humidity of intake air, a significant amount of synthetic gas can be produced from rice husks, waste plastic material, and sawdust.

Abstract:
Municipal biowaste has a high potential for agricultural use. However, it requires an additional amendment to increase the nutritional content used during the composting process. The purpose of this study was to investigate the selection of compost-enhancing amendments from municipal biowaste using bibliometric and multicriteria analysis. The municipality of Yopal (Casanare, Colombia) was chosen as a case study. Using a search equation in the Scopus and Web of Science databases over five years (2018-2022), 53 publications were discovered, from which 25 were chosen for a full review to identify alternatives for amendment. Ashes, rice husks, sawdust, sugarcane bagasse, tree pruning waste, and alfalfa hay were assessed as amendment substitutes. Criteria such as financial cost, accessibility to acquire the amendment, nitrogen, phosphorus, and carbon contribution were used in the analysis of hierarchical processes. Tree pruning waste was the best option based on the criteria chosen because it is easily accessible and contributes with carbon and nitrogen (C/N: 13) to composting. Factors such as cost and affordability influence the physical and chemical characteristics that an amendment brings to the composting of municipal biowaste.

Abstract:
Population growth has raised energy consumption. Non-renewable fossil fuels including coal, petroleum, and natural gas provide the world's energy, releasing greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide. Thus, fossil fuel alternatives are essential. Livestock manure, crops, trees, home-wet organic waste, agro-industrial waste, animal waste, and sewage sludge may be digested to produce biogas. Biogas, which comprises 50-75% methane, 25-50% carbon dioxide, and traces of hydrogen and nitrogen, might be a renewable energy source. We suggest Biocoal. Pyrolysis or optimised treatment may turn rice husk, sawdust, corn stalk, and other agricultural waste into Biocoal. Biocoal may cut daily CO2 emissions by 738 million tonnes. Large-scale Biocoal production and carbon neutralisation might address the world's fuel and environmental issues. Concentrating methane gas might alleviate biogas' poor caloric value. Biogas contains 40000KJ/kg, petrol 45000KJ/kg, and methane 50000KJ/kg. Optimising technology for optimal methane output takes time. Lack of appropriate separation procedures hinders renewable fuel development. According to a 2019 research, the world needs 1,36,761 terawatt/hour of fossil fuels like gas, oil, and coal and 7,931 of renewable energy including hydropower, wind, solar, and others. Thus, an eco-friendly, sustainable energy source has great potential. Thus, biogas and Biocoal may provide sustainable energy alternatives

Abstract In 1969 a book called Alone With America examined the careers of forty-one members of the third wave of twentieth-century American poetry—poets who like Ashbery, Merrill, and Rich were born with both T. S. Eliot’s and Elizabeth Bishop’s generation behind them. Its author, a poet who belongs to this third wave, does not appear. Not only does he not write about his own work: unlike most poet-critics, Richard Howard rarely seems to be addressing his own aesthetic principles when he discusses other poets. Reading Stevens’s or Lowell’s criticism, one always has the sense that it is made from the chips and sawdust on the workshop floor. But throughout the almost six hundred pages of the first edition of Alone With America (it was expanded in 1980), there are almost no sentences that could be used to characterize the work of Richard Howard. He attempts neither to own nor to disown his contemporaries, but receives them.

Abstract:
Twenty-two-year-old Aldo Leopold arrived in Albuquerque, New Mexico Territory, in July 1909, burning with the “fervor of a sawdust evangelist.” The Forest Service had sent him to his first choice—District 3, encompassing the twenty-one forests of the South and Southwest. His duties were outlined in his manual: preserve a perpetual supply of timber for home industries, prevent destruction of forest cover (which regulates the flow of streams), and protect local industries from unfair competition in the use of forest and range. The district chief was Arthur Ringland, a stocky, energetic Yale graduate only a few years older than Leopold. Ringland sensed the new graduate’s enthusiasm and assigned him to the wildest lands in the district—the Apache National Forest in Arizona Territory. The land had originally belonged to the Apache Nation, but in 1886, the US Army forced most of the members onto a nearby reservation. This left but a few ranchers, farmers, and miners in the region. The forest headquarters rested in Springerville, Arizona, a two-day stagecoach ride from the last railroad stop. No automobiles carved tire treads over these plateaus and canyons. Travel was by foot, horse, or mule. Forest Assistant Leopold, the newest greenhorn among many, wasted no time in purchasing a feisty gray stallion called Jiminy Hicks, a saddle, a rope, and a few good roping lessons. Within the month, he also acquired pistols and a “rubber butt plate” for those long days in the saddle. The rubber plate came in handy since Aldo put in a good deal of time astride Jiminy Hicks. Throughout July and the beginning of August, Leopold inspected trees, marked them for cutting, planted seed plots, fixed fences, and met the other rangers. Working under Supervisor John D. Guthrie, Aldo contributed his two bits on policy decisions about grazing permits, water rights, and timber sales. Guthrie’s long hours and dedicated stance inspired the young ranger. The simplicity of life on the range, where one had to live out of a pack, made Leopold feel tough and free. On his own time, he hunted, mapped out the forest for himself, climbed mountains, and tested trout streams.

"* PROPERTIES of litter peat Litter peat is the surface peat removed from the bog before cutting of fuel peat. As fuel peat production increases, so the amount surface peat removed also grows. Around 1 million m3 of surface peat is lifted every year in Finland, and the figure is expected to rise to 2-3 million m3 a year by the 1990 (1). Surface peat is used mainly for horticultural purposes. The properties of the peat vary, depending on the place in the bog frcm were it canes. The surface layer provides the best litter peat. Lifting peat frcm deeper in the bog results in the inclusion of layers of more highly decomposed peat, which is not as good for use as litter. Freshly cut peat usually contains 40-60% water. Litter peat, however, must not contain more than 40% water, since its absorption capacity and storability both decrease with increasing water content. Good quality litter peat should be Sphagnum fuscum peat. A suitable degree of decomposition is 2-3. Raw Sphagnum peat is acidic, with a pH of 3.0-4.5. Its total nitrogen content 1.0-1.5% of dry matter. 3. AMMONIA-BINDING CAPACITY Because its acidic character, peat binds ammonia well. The amnonia-binding capacities of the different litters were measured in the laboratory. Aqueous ammonia solution was applied to the peat, which was then dried under reduced pressure. The results showed that peat can bind up to 2.5% of its dry weight of ammonia (Fig. 1). The anroonia is so strongly bound that it does not evaporate even when the peat dries. The binding capacity of straw and sawdust is less than 1% (2). From the point of view of the binding of ammonia, it is important that the peat is Sphagnum fuscum peat. Earlier studies (3) have shown that other varieties of peat bind only 0.26-0.86% of their dry weight of ammonia." In Odour Prevention and Control of Organic Sludge and Livestock Farming.

Abstract:
The characterisation and insulating efficiencies of sawdust and rice husk in glass shavings reinforced termite clay-based (GSRTC) composite has been compared. Termite clay was unearthed from the Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA) campus in Ondo State. It was processed to obtain 150 μm undersize. Glass shavings were processed to obtain 106 μm undersize. The glass shavings were then mixed with the termite clay in a constant weight proportion of 10%. Sawdust and rice husk were processed to obtain 150 μm undersize. The prepared blended GSRTC powder was mixed with the sawdust, and the rice husk in 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 wt.%. The resulting mixtures were compacted into cylindrical-shaped samples. The samples were dried and fired in a furnace at 1000°C for 2 hours. The chemical composition of GSRTC composite constituents was studied prior to the production of the composite. The control sample with only 10 wt.% of glass shaving possessed the highest: compressive strength; linear and volumetric shrinkage; bulk density; and thermal conductivity, while the sample with 10 wt.% of sawdust in GSRTC possessed the lowest: compressive strength (1.62 MPa); linear and volume shrinkage; bulk density (0.68 g/cm3); thermal conductivity (0.23 W/m-K).. Conclusively, the additive proportion and type affect composites' physical properties. An increase in additive proportion is accompanied by an increase in porosity, a reduction in porosity and bulk density. The compressive strength and thermal conductivity decreased with increasing additive content. GSRTC composites with sawdust additive possessed better insulating performance. However, GSRTC composite with rice husk additive displayed higher compressive strength.

Full text
Abstract:
High Temperature Air Combustion (HTAC) is appropriate to biomass fuel combustion, but the problem of NOx emission should be played attention. Temperature field in furnace is uniform with HTAC, and there is no higher temperature point, so it can reduce NOx formation. If HTAC combines with low-oxygen combustion, emission of NOx is further restrained. The rules of NOx emission for Biomass fuel: sawdust, rice husk combusting with high temperature air are discussed in 600–1200°C air temperature and 10%–21% oxygen content in air and about 1000°C furnace temperature, especially the influence of parameters such as air temperature and oxygen content in air and water content of biomass fuel is researched. The main results are: (1) since the fixed carbon in rice husk is higher than in sawdust, deoxidisation is more marked and NOx release in rice husk combustion is 20% less than in sawdust combustion in experiment. (2) Oxygen content in air has a great influence. Low-oxygen Combustion has a low NOx emission, which is lower than 150ppm in experimental condition. (3) Water content in biomass fuel has a great influence too, the more of water content, the less of NOx engendering among 7%–46% water content. There are two reasons, first one is water in biomass have depressed the temperature in flame, second is water can react with carbon in high temperature to form a deoxidising environment in furnace, especially in high-temperature Low-oxygen Combustion, the phenomenon is much in evidence. Base on experiments, the results confirmed that HTAC could do a low NOx combustion with biomass fuel.

Abstract:
Biomass is quite abundant in the world, particularly in some countries like China. China has large quantities of straw and/or stalk-origin biomass resources and the attention is currently being paid to the exploitation of these resources to produce energy products via different technical solutions, among of which pyrolysis of biomass to produce hydrogen-rich gas is very promising as hydrogen is a very clear energy carrier. In this work, pyrolysis of rice straw, corn stalk and sawdust was carried out in a two-stage reactor (the first-stage reactor is a conventional fixed-bed pyrolyser, and the second-stage reactor is a catalytic fixed bed) to produce hydrogen-rich gas. The effect of catalytic bed on the pyrolysis behaviour have been investigated, with the emphasis on final product particularly hydrogen. The operation of the catalytic reactor appears significant in promoting biomass pyrolysis towards the production of gaseous products, especially hydrogen. At 750°C of the pyrolyser with rice straw as fuel, the use of the catalytic bed leads to the increases of gas yield from 0.41 Nm3/kg to 0.50 Nm3/kg, approximately 22% increase, and of H2 concentration from 33.79% to 50.80% in volume, approximately 50.3% increase, respectively. Compared with calcined dolomite, fresh nickel-based catalyst shows stronger catalytic effect on the pyrolysis of rice straw as its use in the catalytic bed results in the increase of gas yield from 0.41 Nm3/kg to 0.56 Nm3/kg, approximately 36.6% increase, and the increase of H2 concentration from 33.79% to 59.55% in volume, approximately 76.2% increase. Furthermore, two catalysts follow the same trend for the pyrolysis of corn stalk and sawdust. At temperature of 815°C, catalysts also follow the same trend. Catalytic bed can significantly reduce the level of tar which is carried out with the producer gas, to less than 1% of original level. Catalyst load or gas space velocity (hourly) has the influence on the gas yield and H2 concentration. 30% of load, i.e. gas space velocity (hourly) 0.9 × 104 h−1, appears reasonable. Beyond that, gas yield and H2 concentration remain almost unchanged.

Abstract:
The research was conducted in a circulating fluidized bed having diameter and height of riser of 5 and 200 cm., respectively, at ambient temperature and pressure. The objective was to study hydrodynamics of mixed-feed between sand and various biomasses including rice husk, sawdust, and bagasse at 50% by volume. The air flow rate was in the range of 4.2-5.7 m/s. The velocity of sand in the riser was obtained by using a high speed camera and an image processing software. The results showed that at the lowest gas velocity the velocities of sand in the mixture were higher than those in the single system. Howerver at the highest gas velocity it was found that the sand velocity in the mixture of sand and sawdust was the highest among all mixtures. Next the experiment was conducted by means of mixture of glass beads and rice husk. It was found that in the bottom part of the riser the velocities of glass beads in the mixing system were lower than those in the single system. Nevertheless, the velocities of glass beads in both systems reached similar values at the top of the riser.
