Sustainable Production of Woody Biomass for Energy

Comparative study of Acacia nilotica and Acacia sinuata for diuretic activity

Diuretics increase the rate of urine outflow and sodium excretion and are used to adjust the volume and composition of body fluids in a variety of clinical situations including hypertension, heart failure, renal failure, nephritic syndrome and cirrhosis. Some naturally used diuretic plants are Abrus precatorius, Centella asiatica, Allium sepa, Allium sativum, Aloe barbidensis, Cinnamomum verum ...

Woody Biomass Sustainability for Bioenergy Production in West Virginia

West Virginia is the third most heavily forested state in the U.S. and produces 2.41 million dry tons of wood residues annually. These wood wastes are sustainable and can be used as feedstock for biofuels, bio-gas and green electricity. Biomass sustainability, efficient harvesting, extraction, and transportation of woody biomass are the key to the economic success of wood residue utilization. T...

Acacia Nilotica: New Plant for Help in Pelvic Organ Prolapse

While menopause is an usual process of aged in women, it is a critical period of women's life related with many problem and complaints. 1,2 Pelvic prolapse is common in postmenopausal women, which is defined as the loss of maintenance to the pelvic organs, and it causes in a herniation of these into the vaginal canal. This problem distresses 50% of parous women and at least 50% of all women pro...

Primary Study of Woody Biomass and Coal for Energy Production Investigated by TGA-FTIR Analysis

The purpose of this study was to determine the pyrolysis characteristics and gas properties of woody biomass and coal. The main gases from the pyrolysis of biomass, coal, and mixtures of different ratios of the two were identified using TGA-FTIR. The evolution of gases and their characteristics were investigated in real time. Thermal analysis demonstrated that the biomass sources decomposed eas...
