Phosphorus-rich biomass can cause operational problems in combustion units. Na-phytate, a model compound used to simulate phosphorus biomass, was studied laboratory-scale reactor under temperature and gas atmosphere conditions relevant for pyrolysis, combustion, gasification fixed bed or fluidized reactors understand the P Na release behavior. Solid residues from Na-phytate thermal conversion w...

A total of 384 day-old male Ross 308 broiler chicks were allocated to 8 dietary treatments to examine the influence of supplementation with xylanase and phytase, individually or in combination, in diets based on two new cultivars of triticale (Bogong and Canobolas). The inclusion of phytase alone in either Bogong or Canobolas diets increased (P < 0.01) feed intake and body weight; however, the ...

Biomass phytic acid has potential flame retardant value as the main form of phosphorus in plant seeds. In this study, phytate-based retardants aluminum phytate (PA-Al) and iron (PA-Fe) were synthesized characterized. Subsequently, they introduced into rigid polyurethane foam (RPUF) by one-step water-blown method. The results indicated that RPUF/PA-Fe30 exhibited highest char residue 22.1 wt%, s...
