Abstract As the ban on methyl bromide widens, need for an effective phytosanitary fumigant alternative grows. Currently available alternatives, phosphine and sulfuryl fluoride, lack efficacy against pinewood nematode. Ethanedinitrile is a highly efficacious with chemical properties similar to bromide. was tested nematodes in large-scale field setting southern yellow pine wood chips at dose rate...

Hot water extraction of aspen woodchips was treated at about 160 °C for 2 h with a liquor-to-solid ratio of 4.76:1 in a 1.84 m batch reactor with external liquor circulation. Both five-carbon and six-carbon sugars are obtained in the extraction liquor. Xylose and xylooligomers are the main five-carbon sugar in the hot water extract, which reached a maximum concentration of 0.016 mol/L, and 0.01...

Population growth and the associated increase in use of Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems (OWTS) Black Hills have been a reason for interest nitrate contamination within public water supply over past few years. The main concern is presence karst formation that all OWTS wastewater travel faster, limiting natural attenuation contaminants. treatment performance common soils wood-based media was ...

The combustion of solid biomass in industrial boilers involves a sequence processes that include heating, drying, devolatilization, and char conversion. To maintain repeatable fully controlled environment, to monitor all the dynamics involved phenomena at real scale, field-scale experiments become necessary perform investigations. In this way, evaluate different thermochemical conversion condit...

Recently problems relating to environmental pollution and the need to protect and preserve the environment from further deterioration has drawn increasing research attention. The goal of any remediation based on soil amendments is to achieve maximum reduction in the bioavailability of heavy metals by immobilization in soils. Modern remediation approaches increasingly focus on in situ environmen...
