The development and commercialization of sustainable chemicals from agricultural products by-products is necessary for a circular economy built on renewable natural resources. Among the largest contributors to final cost biomass conversion product initial feedstock, representing significant challenge in effective utilization. Another major identifying correct development, which must be able sat...

Date is the most popular fruit in middle-east countries. However, the date production process is accompanied by a substantial increase of loss during picking, storage, commercialization and conditioning process. Date and their byproducts have many essential elements for the growth of microorganisms. Thus, they can be converted into valueadded compounds through biotechnology. In this paper, date...

Corn (Zea mays L.) that has been genetically engineered to produce the Cry1Ab protein (Bt corn) is resistant to lepidopteran pests. Bt corn is widely planted in the midwestern United States, often adjacent to headwater streams. We show that corn byproducts, such as pollen and detritus, enter headwater streams and are subject to storage, consumption, and transport to downstream water bodies. Lab...

A new boiling system for the production of improved VHP sugar is proposed. This modified scheme requires only minor changes to pipe-work in the factory and it is estimated that steam consumption will only be increased marginally.

This study investigated the different performance levels of the workers in the Chittoor Sugar factory located at the Chittoor town of South India. It was also studied how the factors education and work experience influence the performance levels of the workers in the firm. Upon study it has been understood that the two variables under investigation have direct effect on the performance of the w...

Lignocellulosic agricultural byproducts are a copious and cheap source for cellulose fibers. Agro-based biofibers have the composition, properties and structure that make them suitable for uses such as composite, textile, pulp and paper manufacture. In addition, biofibers can also be used to produce fuel, chemicals, enzymes and food. Byproducts produced from the cultivation of corn, wheat, rice...

Granular activated carbons (GACS) were developed from hard and soft lignocellulosic byproducts. Three activation strategies were evaluated which employed phosphoric acid, carbon dioxide or steam. A portion of these carbons were also subjected to air oxidation after activation. Uptake of both non-polar and polar, small organic compounds were followed as was the adsorption of copper. Our results ...
