Remote sensing application in biomass crop production systems in Oklahoma
(2013-12)
This study was conducted to evaluate the combined effects of nitrogen and cropping systems on biomass yield and quality and to describe the spatial variation of biomass yield, soil carbon and nitrogen within a switchgrass ...
Devolatilization Characteristics of Cellulose, Hemicellulose, Lignin and the Selected Biomass During Thermochemical Gasification: Experiment and Modeling Studies
(Oklahoma State University, 2012-05-01)
Pyrolysis and gasification are two promising thermochemical conversion technologies for conversion of biomass into fuels, chemicals and power. Devolatilization is the first major process that occurs in biomass gasification ...
Causes and Effects of Oak Decline in an Upland Oak-hickory Forest of Eastern Oklahoma
(Oklahoma State University, 2014-07-01)
Oak decline has greatly altered the structure and composition of temperate hardwood forests and is caused by a complex interaction of environmental stresses and pests. These stresses can be biotic or abiotic and can be ...
Treatment of biomass-derived synthesis gas using commercial steam reforming catalysts and biochar
(2011-12)
Scope and Method of Study: The destruction of tars is a crucial technological barrier for the development and further commercialization of biomass gasification. The decomposition of tar compounds using catalysts is a ...
Influence of switchgrass management on soil microbial biomass and fatty acid methyl ester content in soil
(2020-07)
Switchgrass is a fairly new source of commercial biofuel feedstock. Its production can potentially preserve soil health and microbial functions in ecosystems. There is an increasing demand for large scale biomass production, ...
Effects of feed composition and gasification parameters on product gas from a pilot scale fluidized bed gasifier
(2007-07)
Scope and Method of Study: Biomass gasification is an integral part of a holistic project where low-value feedstocks are converted into ethanol via a gasification fermentation process. Because microbial catalysts are used ...
Advanced biopower generation via gasification of biomass and municipal solid waste
(2018-12)
The overall goal of this study was to develop and analyze efficient power generation systems through the downdraft gasification of biomass and municipal solid waste (MSW) for distributed power applications. This goal was ...
Experimental investigation and simulation of a fluidized-bed gasifier using switchgrass
(2013-12)
The overall goal of this research was to improve and optimize yield and composition of syngas generated from biomass gasification using an autothermal lab-scale fluidized-bed gasifier, and to develop a biomass gasification ...
Switchgrass biomass to ethanol production economics: Field to fuel approach
(2010-12)
Scope and Method of Study: Switchgrass has been proposed as a dedicated energy crop. The first essay determines switchgrass yield response to nitrogen fertilizer for a single annual harvest in July and for a single annual ...
Process engineering and scale-up of autotrophic Clostridium strain P11 syngas fermentation
(2010-12)
Scope and Method of Study: Biomass gasification followed by fermentation of syngas to ethanol is a potential process to produce bioenergy. The process is currently being researched under laboratory- and pilot-scale in an ...
